Online alarm clock for 1:06 pm
You’re midway through a task in Perth when you realise an East Coast call is coming up and you’ll need to break away from what you’re doing. Set the alarm for 1:06 pm so the switch does not depend on repeatedly checking the clock. That still leaves a useful stretch before 2:00 pm for wrapping up your current thought and opening whatever notes the conversation requires.
Because the alert is running in your browser, keep this page open while you continue working. Closing the page or browser will cancel the call alert, and it may not sound if your phone or computer goes to sleep. Leave the sound audible, check the volume, and avoid relying on a muted laptop across the room. A quick glance at the displayed alarm time also confirms that 1:06 pm—not 1:06 am—is selected before you return to your task.
Breaking off at 1:06 pm can mean moving from Perth’s midday heat into an air-conditioned room just as the call begins. Choose that room beforehand and give the air conditioner time to settle rather than changing spaces at the alert. Keep water and your notes within reach, and position yourself away from a noisy vent so the temperature stays comfortable without the airflow competing with the conversation.
Common questions
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.
Does the alarm work if my laptop goes to sleep?
Not reliably. If the device sleeps or the screen locks, the browser tab pauses along with it, so the alarm may not fire on time or at all. Adjust your power settings if you're relying on this over a longer stretch.
