Online alarm clock for 6:18 am
While you watch the clock for 6:18 am, the coffee shop is quiet and the first batch of beans is waiting to go in. This alarm marks the exact moment to begin, leaving a clear run towards the 7:00 am opening routine without relying on repeated checks of the wall clock. The timing also keeps early preparation separate from the busier jobs that follow.
Because the cue is tied to the first batch, keep this page active while you wait and leave the computer or phone awake with its sound audible. If the browser is closed or the device falls asleep, the alarm for the beans will not sound, which could push the roasting or grinding schedule later. A quick volume check is useful before stepping across the shop to fill hoppers, arrange cups or receive an early delivery.
Before 6:18 am, look at how much light reaches the workspace rather than waiting until the alarm sounds. Australian mornings can shift noticeably across the seasons, so switch on the bench and storeroom lights early if the shop is still dim, and reduce glare on the screen if dawn is already coming through the front windows. That makes labels, controls and bean colour easier to see during the first run.
Common questions
Why use a browser alarm instead of my phone's built-in one?
Mainly for reliability against silent mode, do-not-disturb, or a phone left charging out of earshot. It's a useful backup or a desk-based alternative, though it depends on this tab staying open rather than running in the background of your phone.
Is there a cost to use this?
No, it's free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you set it. It just needs the tab left open until the time you've chosen arrives.
Will the alarm still ring if I close the browser tab?
No. The alarm only runs while this tab stays open — closing it, or closing the browser entirely, stops the countdown before it can ring. Keep the tab open in the background if you need it to go off later.
Does the alarm work if my laptop goes to sleep?
Not reliably. If the device sleeps or the screen locks, the browser tab pauses along with it, so the alarm may not fire on time or at all. Adjust your power settings if you're relying on this over a longer stretch.
