Online alarm clock for 10:47 pm

While you wait for 10:47 pm, keep an eye on the garden so you can close the protective netting before nocturnal possums become active. Setting the alarm lets you continue tidying up nearby without repeatedly checking the clock. The alert also leaves a little breathing room before 11:00 pm, rather than turning the job into a late-night scramble.

Your garden task could be missed if the alarm sound is quietly routed to headphones you have put down or left connected in another room. Check the audio destination and play a quick test tone at a comfortable volume before relying on the alert. Keep this page open and your phone, tablet or computer awake: if either condition changes, the browser alarm cannot sound, and the possums may reach the area before the netting is secured.

Closing the garden at 10:47 pm can affect anyone already settling down for the night, particularly if doors bang, outdoor lights shine into bedrooms or the alarm carries through the house. Put the latch, torch and any clips beside the exit beforehand, then choose a restrained alert volume. You can secure the netting promptly and return indoors with less noise for sleeping housemates or family.

Common questions

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.

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.
