Online alarm clock for 9:55 am
Getting ready before you need to collect the car from the service centre makes a 9:55 am alarm a useful checkpoint. It leaves a short buffer before 10:00 am to find the keys, check the workshop’s pickup message and work out whether you are driving, walking or catching a local bus. The alert marks the moment to stop preparing and head out.
For a workshop pickup, the sound needs checking before you rely on it: many Australian phones can mute browser audio when silent mode is on, even though the alarm appears correctly. Use the page controls to test the tone at the volume you expect, then leave media volume audible. The car collection reminder will sound only while the alarm page remains open and the phone stays awake, so a closed browser or sleeping handset could leave you without the cue.
If you plan to sleep again after setting the reminder, put everything needed for the service-centre trip beside the door first. That protects the remaining morning rest from a last-minute search and makes 9:55 am a clean transition rather than the start of several small chores. Place the phone far enough away that silencing it means sitting up, and keep the pickup details visible beside it.
Common questions
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.
Can I set more than one alarm at a time?
This page is built around a single alarm at a time. For multiple alarms, open a separate tab for each one and set a different time in each, keeping every tab open until it's rung.
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.
