Online alarm clock for 3:22 pm
As you hand the laundry check to someone else, set the alarm for 3:22 pm and make the handover clear: the washing needs to come off the line before the afternoon storm arrives. That leaves enough time to bring in stray pegs, check the radar again, and have everything under cover well before 4:00 pm.
Because the laundry reminder depends on this browser session, closing the tab or browser means the alarm will not sound; a sleeping phone or computer can silence it as well. Leave the page open, keep the device awake, and make sure its volume can be heard from the yard. During the handover, show the other person which device is running the alarm so nobody assumes a different phone will ring.
Stormy Australian afternoons can turn muggy while you are moving between the line and the house. Keep a glass or bottle of water nearby, especially if several loads, sheets, or towels need carrying inside. A quick snack that leaves your hands free can fit before 3:22 pm; save a larger afternoon tea until the washing is sheltered and the darker clouds have passed.
Common questions
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.
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.
