Online alarm clock for 10:08 pm
Waking at 10:08 pm, you can use this alarm as the cue to check tomorrow’s fire-danger warning before doing anything else. Settle for a moment, then keep the relevant place name in mind so you check the warning for your part of Australia. Finishing before 11:00 pm leaves the rest of your evening clear rather than letting the task drift until morning.
Because this check depends on a browser alarm, leave the alarm page open while you wait and keep your phone or computer awake. If you close the tab or browser, or let the device go to sleep, the alarm will not sound, so the fire-danger warning may remain unchecked. Keep the sound turned up enough to notice from where you are sitting, and use a separate device alarm if you expect to move away or stop using the screen.
After waking for a late-evening check, bright room lighting can feel abrupt and may also make it harder to read a dim screen comfortably. Before resting, leave a small lamp within reach and set your screen brightness to a usable level. At 10:08 pm, that preparation lets you see the warning clearly without switching on every overhead light, then return the room to the lighting you want for the remainder of the night.
Common questions
Can I use this on my phone instead of a laptop?
Yes, it works in a mobile browser the same way, but phones are more likely to lock the screen or sleep, which can stop the alarm from ringing. A laptop or desktop tends to be more reliable for this.
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.
