Online alarm clock for 3:04 pm
As you finish up and head out to bring the cattle in from the far paddock, a 3:04 pm alarm gives the departure a firm place in the afternoon. It leaves enough daylight for the run while keeping the job from drifting towards 4:00 pm, when gates, water troughs and the trip home may still need attention.
Before walking out to the ute, check where the alarm sound is being sent. Wireless headphones can remain connected in a pocket or shed, leaving the phone apparently silent when 3:04 pm arrives. Disconnect them, select the phone speaker and test the volume while you are still close enough to hear it. A browser alarm cannot signal your cattle departure after its page stops running or the phone falls asleep, so keep both active until it sounds.
Returning from a distant paddock can make a late-afternoon alarm noticeable to everyone else in the house. Set a moderate tone and place the phone near the doorway or your work gear, rather than beside someone resting or studying. If another person will be home at 3:04 pm, mention what the sound means so they can leave it running instead of silencing an unfamiliar alarm.
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.
