Online alarm clock for 12:16 am
While you watch the clock for the scheduled release, a 12:16 am alarm can mark the moment to take rehabilitated possums outside after darkness has settled. It keeps the timing clear without making you repeatedly check your phone. The alert falls 44 minutes before 1:00 am, leaving a useful margin if the animals must be moved calmly from their carriers.
Because the possum release depends on a signal you may use only once, checking its sound beforehand removes an avoidable uncertainty. A brief test can confirm that the volume is audible from where you will wait and that the chosen tone is distinct from other notifications. The possums could miss their planned release time if the browser alarm is no longer active at 12:16 am, so it needs to remain running until the signal sounds.
Once the possums have been released, keeping the return home simple can preserve more of the night for sleep. Clothes, keys and transport arrangements prepared earlier reduce the amount of activity after 12:16 am. Low lighting and a quiet final check of the carriers can also make it easier to settle down again rather than staying occupied until 1:00 am.
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.
