Online alarm clock for 4:07 pm
Before handing over the job of bringing cattle in from the far paddock, set the alarm for 4:07 pm so the next person has a clear starting point. That leaves enough afternoon light to check the route, gates and water before 5:00 pm, without relying on a vague reminder passed across the ute tray.
The handover may call for a firmer sound than you would use for your own quiet reminder. Choose a persistent tone if the person taking over could be outside, packing gear or talking near the yards; a softer tone suits someone already waiting indoors. Check the volume now. This browser alarm will not sound after the page is closed or the phone is allowed to sleep, so the cattle move also needs a separate backup if missing 4:07 pm would delay the work.
As the afternoon begins to wind down, tell other people in the house why the alarm is set and where the phone will be. Keeping it nearby but away from a shared television or study space lets the 4:07 pm signal be heard without startling everyone. If somebody is resting, use vibration alongside a moderate tone and keep the phone on a hard surface rather than buried in a bag.
Common questions
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.
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.
