Online alarm clock for 1:05 am
You’re halfway through logging patrol notes and checking keys when a 1:05 am alarm needs to pull you away for the guard shift handover. It marks the moment to stop the current round, gather the logbook and radio, and make sure the incoming guard receives anything unusual well before 2:00 am.
A handover can happen amid radio chatter, plant noise or conversations at the desk, so set the signal loud enough to cut through that background without relying on vibration alone. Check the selected tone once before returning to your duties and keep the volume control where a pocket or loose sleeve cannot alter it. The alarm will not sound if this browser page is closed or the device goes to sleep, which could leave the guard shift handover without its cue.
An overnight handover in Australian summer heat can feel very different outside the gate and inside an air-conditioned office. Before 1:05 am, place the device where the cooling fan will not mask its speaker, and take the logbook with you rather than leaving it in another room. If you have just returned from a warm patrol, allow a minute near the desk to settle, check that the radio and keys are ready, then brief the next guard without rushing through the details.
Common questions
Do I need to create an account or download anything?
No, there's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Pick a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs entirely in this browser tab.
Can I change the alarm sound?
Yes, there's a short list of tones to choose from before you press Start. Pick whichever one you're most likely to actually hear — softer sounds are easier to sleep through than a firm chime or bell.
What happens once the alarm goes off?
It rings through your device's speakers on a loop until you stop it from this page. There's no separate app notification, so make sure your volume is turned up before you rely on it.
Is this alarm accurate across daylight saving time?
It uses your device's local clock, so as long as your computer's time and date settings are correct, it'll adjust automatically when daylight saving time starts or ends.
