How to use the online alarm clock

Ten minutes is a warm-up interval — an oven reaching temperature, a kettle and a pot of coffee, or, in summer here, the wait while a car parked in the open cools to the point where the steering wheel can be held. That last one is a genuinely local use, and ten minutes is about right from June to September.

As a buffer it is more useful still: ten minutes before leaving for the school run, ten minutes to finish a chapter, ten minutes of charge before a journey. Long enough to get absorbed in something else, short enough that the deadline arrives before you have noticed.

The preset works out the finishing time from the moment you set it, so there is nothing to enter and nothing to calculate. If a task needs a little longer, the fifteen-minute option is one step up.

What is a ten-minute alarm most used for?

Short warm-ups and buffers — an oven reaching temperature, a car cooling down in summer, or the last stretch before leaving the house.
