Online alarm clock for 1:20 am
Finish packing the tackle and head for the boat: the 1:20 am alarm marks the point when preparation ends and the trip to the water begins. There is still time before 2:00 am to load the esky, check the fuel and reach the ramp without turning the departure into a rush. Keep keys, phone and fishing gear together so nothing gets left behind in the dark.
A quick signal check now confirms that the chosen sound is audible before the fishing departure depends on it. Set a test alarm a minute ahead, raise the volume, and make sure silent or focus settings do not suppress the alert. Keep the alarm page open and the phone awake; otherwise the boat departure may pass without a sound. For extra certainty, use a separate alarm as a backup.
Stepping outside at 1:20 am can mean meeting damp air and heavy overnight humidity, particularly near the Australian coast. Leave a dry cloth with the gear for wiping moisture from the phone, torch or boat fittings, and place electronics in a sealed pouch before setting off. A light outer layer can also make the cool, moist trip to the ramp more comfortable, even when the daytime forecast is warm.
Common questions
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.
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.
