Online alarm clock for 2:24 pm
Before settling into the shade to wait out the fiercest heat, you’re setting a 2:24 pm alarm so the break has a clear finish. That leaves enough time to cool off, have some water and stay out of the harsh Australian sun before getting moving again around 3:00 pm.
Because the rest may last longer than your phone’s usual screen timeout, check that it will remain awake and that this page stays open. The alarm cannot bring your spell in the shade to an end if the page is dismissed or the phone goes to sleep. Keep the volume audible, leave the phone somewhere sheltered from direct sunlight, and use another alarm as backup if returning at 2:24 pm matters.
A midday alarm can carry through a quiet house, especially when others are working, resting or trying to settle a child. Choose a moderate volume and keep the phone close to you rather than in a shared room. If you are outside, vibration on a firm surface may add enough notice without making the 2:24 pm signal everyone else’s interruption.
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.
