How to use the online alarm clock
A 6:45 am alarm suits an early pool booking when you want to swim while the water and surrounding air still feel cooler. At the pool, the next round hour is 7:00 am, 15 minutes away. That quarter-hour is often the difference between entering at the booked time and spending part of the slot changing or looking for goggles.
Select a bright alert, confirm it plays through the device speaker and press Start. Leave the tab open even if you check messages elsewhere. The alarm cannot survive a closed browser tab, and it will not ring from a sleeping device. For reliable playback, keep the device awake and charged, and remove any wireless audio connection that could make the signal inaudible across the room.
Pack swimwear, towel, goggles and water together in advance. At 6:45 am, use the alert to pick up the bag and go, avoiding extra screen time. Outdoor surfaces can brighten rapidly after sunrise, so take suitable foot protection and follow the pool’s posted safety and access arrangements.
Common questions
Can I use this tool from my smartphone?
The page works on a phone, so you can check how long remains until 6:45 am while you are out. Phones often suspend inactive tabs when the screen turns off, though, and the sound may not play; for an important reminder, use a desktop or laptop connected to power.
Will it run in my phone's web browser?
You can open it on your phone and leave it counting down towards 6:45 am. The limitation comes from mobile power-saving behaviour: once the screen locks or the browser moves into the background, the alert may be silenced, so rely on a plugged-in computer when timing really matters.
Is this feature available when I am on my mobile?
It will load and run in a phone browser, including for a timer set to 6:45 am. Still, iPhone and Android devices can put background pages to sleep after the display locks, meaning the alarm is not guaranteed; a laptop or desktop left awake and plugged in is more dependable for important occasions.
Can I access it using an iPhone or Android phone?
Yes, the countdown to 6:45 am is usable on a mobile screen without installing anything. Bear in mind that phones manage battery life by freezing background browser tabs and may stop the sound after the screen locks, so an important alert is better left running on a powered laptop or desktop.
