Notifier
Steal An Egg notifier
The two things worth interrupting you for are a Great Bloom window opening and an egg finishing. This grants the one permission both need, and is straight about the one thing browser notifications cannot do.

Turn alerts on
One permission covers every alert listed below. Nothing is sent to a server, and you can revoke it in your browser at any time.
What you will be alerted about
| Alert | Fires | Needs the tab open |
|---|---|---|
| Great Bloom window | Two minutes before each 30-minute window opens | Yes |
| Egg finished hatching | The moment a timer you started reaches zero | Yes |
Each alert is armed on its own tool page — this grants the permission they all need and shows what exists. Leaving that tab open in the background is enough; it does not need to be the one you are looking at.
What a browser notifier can actually do
It can interrupt you while the tab is open — including when that tab is buried behind everything else, or when you are in the game itself. That covers the real case: you are playing, the Steal An Egg window has focus, and something on a 30-minute cycle needs you somewhere else.
What it cannot do is reach you after you close the page. That is not a limitation we chose; a page stops executing when it unloads. The only way around it is a push service, and that requires a server holding a subscription endpoint for your browser.
Which events are worth an alert
Not all of them, and that is the point of a short list. TheGreat Bloom uses a recorded 30-minute cycle with an estimated window of 3 minutes — short enough that missing the start costs you most of the window, which is exactly what an alert is for.
Hatching is the other one, because it continues while the game is closed and there is nothing on screen counting it down for you.
Admin Abuse deliberately has no alert. It is weekly and you know about it days in advance — a notification two minutes out would be too late to prepare for the one hour of the week worth preparing for.
Phones behave differently
Browser and operating-system support varies. This site does not implement service workers or background web push, and adding it to a home screen does not create those features. Keep the timer page open; for a time-critical reminder, also set an alarm on your device.
Steal An Egg notifier FAQ
Is there a Steal An Egg notifier?
This page is one. Grant permission, enable the alert on its timer page and keep that page open. The page can attempt an alert before an estimated Great Bloom window or when your entered hatch duration ends. Delivery depends on browser and system settings.
Will it notify me if the tab is closed?
No. A page can only raise a notification while it is loaded, so the tab has to stay open — though it can sit in the background. Anything promising alerts with everything closed is running a push service, which means a server holding a subscription tied to your browser.
Why not run a push service then?
This tool does not implement a push subscription service. Timer preferences stay on your device; ordinary hosting and analytics data are described separately in our privacy policy.
Does it work on phones?
Support varies by browser and operating system. This page has no service worker or web-push implementation, so installing it on a home screen does not add background delivery. Keep the countdown open and use a device alarm when a reminder must arrive.
What can it alert me about?
The Great Bloom, whose recorded cycle is 30 minutes with an estimated 3-minute window, and hatch timers you start yourself. Admin Abuse is weekly and known days ahead, so a countdown serves it better than an alert.
