Online alarm clock for 12:04 pm

You're watching the clock while the sheep wait to be moved to the shaded watering point. Set the alarm for 12:04 pm so the appointed moment is clear without repeatedly checking your phone. That still leaves the move well before 1:00 pm, with time to settle the flock once they reach the shade.

Because this cue marks the start of a practical job, check its sound now rather than discovering a problem when the flock is ready. Set a quick test alarm, confirm the volume is audible outdoors, then return it to 12:04 pm. The sheep move can miss its cue if you leave the alarm page or your phone goes to sleep, so keep the page open and the phone awake until it sounds.

Before the sheep leave their current paddock, consider how long the road to the watering point takes around midday. A stock route that was quick earlier may take longer when gates, vehicles or a slower-moving flock interrupt progress. Allow a little extra travel time, check the gate and road ahead, and have the shaded area ready so the group is not held in an exposed section after setting off.

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.
