Online alarm clock for 4:57 pm
You have just woken up, and opening the gates for the evening cattle move is still ahead of you. Set the alarm for 4:57 pm so you have a clear cue to get up, collect what you need and be ready before 5:00 pm. Those few minutes are enough for boots, hat and a quick check of the yard.
Before relying on the alarm for the gates, test its sound while there is still time to adjust the volume. Set a short trial, keep this page active and confirm that you can hear the signal from where you are getting ready. If you close the page or let your phone go to sleep, the alarm cannot sound, so the cattle move could begin late. Keep the phone awake and nearby until 4:57 pm.
As you head from the house towards the yards, late-afternoon light may be low behind sheds or sharp across an open paddock. Before settling down to rest, place a torch by your boots and position any portable yard light where it can illuminate latches without shining into the cattle’s path. At 4:57 pm, you can then move straight to the gates without searching for equipment as daylight changes.
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.
