Online alarm clock for 12:28 am
While you watch the clock for the moment to begin your long bush drive, a 12:28 am alarm can keep the departure from drifting later. Leaving before 1:00 am gives you a clear target while the ute is packed and the route is checked, with the aim of getting well along the road before kangaroos gather near the verges.
Your departure alarm needs to sound where you will actually hear it, especially if headphones were connected earlier and audio may still be routed to them without you noticing. A quick sound check can reveal that problem before you settle down to wait. Keep this page active and the phone awake: if the alarm page stops running or the phone sleeps, no sound will mark the start of the bush drive. A separate alarm is sensible when missing the departure would disrupt the trip.
A midnight departure can carry through a quiet house, so the alarm should be close enough to wake you without being loud across several rooms. Keeping the phone beside your keys, using a moderate volume and closing the door reduces how much the 12:28 am signal reaches other people. Vibration on a hard bedside surface may also travel surprisingly far; a folded cloth beneath the phone can soften that rattle while leaving the audible alert clear.
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.
