Online alarm clock for 2:43 pm
While preparing for a midday hive check among the eucalypts, you can set the alarm for 2:43 pm before pulling on your gear. That gives you a clear cue to leave your setup work and begin the inspection, with 3:00 pm still ahead rather than letting preparations drift into the next hour.
Among rustling leaves, birds and nearby equipment, a quiet signal may disappear into the background. Set your phone or computer loud enough to be heard from where you will actually be working, then test the sound before relying on it. The alarm cannot sound after its browser page closes or the phone goes to sleep, so your hive check could start late unless you keep everything awake and running.
Before heading beneath the eucalypts at 2:43 pm, look at where the midday light will fall across the hives and your work area. Position yourself so glare is not directly in your eyes, and have any shade or eye protection ready before the alarm sounds. A small adjustment made while setting up can make labels, tools and movement around the hive easier to see without interrupting the check later.
Common questions
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.
Do I need to create an account or download anything?
No, there's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Pick a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs entirely in this browser tab.
Can I change the alarm sound?
Yes, there's a short list of tones to choose from before you press Start. Pick whichever one you're most likely to actually hear — softer sounds are easier to sleep through than a firm chime or bell.
What happens once the alarm goes off?
It rings through your device's speakers on a loop until you stop it from this page. There's no separate app notification, so make sure your volume is turned up before you rely on it.
