Online alarm clock for 2:16 pm
Handing the shaded riverside dog walk to someone else at 2:16 pm means giving them a clear starting cue, especially if their afternoon is already busy. An alarm at this time can mark the changeover while leaving plenty of daylight before 3:00 pm. The dog handover will miss its cue if the alarm stops running because the browser page has been closed or the phone has gone to sleep.
A quiet household or riverside meeting point may suit a gentle tone that signals the walk without startling anyone nearby. If the other person could be outside, chatting, or packing water and a lead, a more persistent sound is easier to notice. The useful choice depends on where the changeover happens: soft for a calm indoor reminder, firmer when background noise might cover the first alert.
After-lunch glare can make a bright screen uncomfortable to check while preparing for the river. Keeping the display shaded, lowering its brightness, and using larger on-screen controls reduces the need to stare or squint at 2:16 pm. A quick confirmation indoors or beneath an awning also avoids holding the phone in direct Australian sun while the dog, lead, and water are being passed across.
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.
