Online alarm clock for 2:39 pm

As you finish your café shift during the rush, set the alarm for 2:39 pm so the handover does not stretch into your own time. That gives you a clear moment to pass on the last docket, mention anything the next person needs to watch, and leave before 3:00 pm rather than waiting for the flow to ease.

A noisy café can make an alarm easy to miss, especially when its sound has quietly switched to connected earbuds left in a pocket or bag. Check the audio output after setting 2:39 pm, then play a quick test sound at a sensible level. Keep the browser running and the phone awake until then; otherwise the café alarm will stay silent and your finish cue may never reach you.

Leaving an air-conditioned café at 2:39 pm can mean walking straight into strong Australian midday heat. Before the alarm goes, put your water bottle, sunnies and keys together near your bag so you are not searching for them after clocking off. If you are heading to a parked car or public transport, choose shade where practical and allow for the sharp temperature change outside.

Common questions

Can I change the alarm sound?

Yes, there's a short list of tones to choose from before you press Start. Pick whichever one you're most likely to actually hear — softer sounds are easier to sleep through than a firm chime or bell.

What happens once the alarm goes off?

It rings through your device's speakers on a loop until you stop it from this page. There's no separate app notification, so make sure your volume is turned up before you rely on it.

Is this alarm accurate across daylight saving time?

It uses your device's local clock, so as long as your computer's time and date settings are correct, it'll adjust automatically when daylight saving time starts or ends.

Can I use this on my phone instead of a laptop?

Yes, it works in a mobile browser the same way, but phones are more likely to lock the screen or sleep, which can stop the alarm from ringing. A laptop or desktop tends to be more reliable for this.
