Online alarm clock for 4:06 pm
While you watch the clock for 4:06 pm, keep the netting ready beside the fruit trees so you can cover them before the parrots settle in for another feed. The alarm marks the moment to head outside, leaving 54 minutes before 5:00 pm for fastening loose edges and checking that branches are not trapped.
Because this job may take you into the yard, choose a tone that suits how far you will be from your phone. A gentle sound can work if it is beside you, while a more insistent tone is easier to notice through a flyscreen door or over afternoon bird noise. Test the volume before waiting. If the browser stops running or the phone sleeps, the alarm may stay silent and leave the fruit trees exposed, so keep the screen active and this page open until 4:06 pm.
As you prepare to move outside in the afternoon, let anyone else at home know that the alarm signals a quick garden task rather than an emergency. Place the phone where the sound will reach you without startling someone who is working, studying or resting. Having the net and clips gathered beforehand also shortens the disruption: when 4:06 pm arrives, you can silence the alarm promptly and get straight to the trees.
Common questions
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.
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.
