Online alarm clock for 12:17 am
While preparing for a beach patrol during crocodile season, you can set the alarm for 12:17 am well before it is needed. That leaves time to check your torch, radio and patrol gear without rushing as 1:00 am approaches. Keep the phone somewhere you will hear it over fans, air conditioning and any overnight activity nearby.
A crocodile-season patrol calls for an alarm tone that suits the surroundings. A softer sound may be enough in quiet accommodation, while a more persistent tone can help when machinery, wind or air conditioning masks the first alert. Check the selected sound and volume beforehand. The beach patrol alarm cannot alert you if the browser has been closed or the phone has gone to sleep, so use a separate device alarm when missing the start would leave the shoreline unattended.
Before the beach patrol heads out at this hour, move between cooled indoor air and the humid night gradually rather than leaving all preparation until the alarm sounds. Keep essential gear together near the exit, but away from direct airflow where condensation can form on lenses or electronics. If the air conditioner makes 12:17 am feel deceptively cool, have suitable outdoor clothing ready for the actual conditions along the beach.
Common questions
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.
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.
