Online alarm clock for 5:06 pm
If you’re handing the kangaroo-fence inspection to the next person at 5:06 pm, set the alarm for the moment they should begin walking the boundary. Confirm who is taking over and which section comes first, so the changeover does not leave a gap. The run toward 6:00 pm gives them a clear first block for checking posts, wire and gates.
Fence work can put the phone beside a ute, tools, wind or livestock noise, so test the alarm volume from roughly the distance where it will be heard. Choose a level that stands out without relying on a quiet paddock, and keep the phone near the person responsible for starting. The alarm cannot cue the fence inspection if this page is closed or the phone goes to sleep, so use a separate device alarm when the handover must happen reliably.
Before the next person heads along the fence in the late afternoon, allow time for a drink and a small, easy snack such as fruit or crackers. Keep water accessible for the walk rather than leaving it back at the vehicle. A larger meal can wait until after the first section or closer to 6:00 pm, avoiding an extra delay just as the inspection begins.
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.
