Online alarm clock for 7:37 pm

As you finish up and head out at 7:37 pm, set this alarm so the red bin makes it to the kerb before the morning collection. The reminder leaves enough room to wrap up what you are doing rather than remembering after you have settled in elsewhere. With 8:00 pm approaching, it can mark a clear final job for the evening.

That red-bin job depends on the alarm still having an active device when the chosen time arrives. If the browser tab is closed or your phone falls asleep beforehand, the bin reminder will not sound, so leave the page open and keep the device awake. Check that the volume is audible before walking away, then place the phone somewhere you will hear it while finishing your other tasks.

Once the bin is ready to go, avoid keeping a bright screen in front of your eyes while waiting for the alert. At this point in the evening, lower the display brightness to suit the room and set the phone face down nearby, with sound enabled. You can then move through the house without a glowing display competing with the softer light, and the 7:37 pm alarm can still prompt the trip to the kerb.

Common questions

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.

Do I need to create an account or download anything?

No, there's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Pick a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs entirely in this browser tab.

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.
