Online alarm clock for 1:02 am
You’re only just waking at 1:02 am, with the meteor shower still waiting beyond your outback campsite. Give yourself a moment to sit up, find your warm layer and check that your torch is close before heading outside. There is no need to rush straight into the dark: 2:00 am provides a useful reference point for settling into your viewing spot and letting your eyes adjust.
Your meteor shower alarm may appear ready while the phone itself is set to silent, so check the device volume and sound settings before relying on it. A quick test alarm can confirm that the tone is audible without waking everyone nearby. Keep this browser page open and the device awake, connected to power if needed; otherwise the alarm may not sound and your outback viewing session could begin later than planned.
Once you are outside at this hour, protect the time reserved for whatever follows later in the day. Set a separate reminder for packing up, and allow enough margin to return safely, put away your gear and rest before the next commitment. Keeping that buffer visible makes it easier to enjoy the night sky without repeatedly checking the clock or accidentally letting the early-morning outing consume the rest of your schedule.
Common questions
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.
Will the alarm still ring if I close the browser tab?
No. The alarm only runs while this tab stays open — closing it, or closing the browser entirely, stops the countdown before it can ring. Keep the tab open in the background if you need it to go off later.
