How to use the online alarm clock
Five in the afternoon is peak hour proper in most Australian cities, and alarms at this hour tend to be about leaving on time rather than waking up. Office workers use a 5 pm alarm as the standard "finish up" prompt, especially in workplaces with a firm end to the day.
It's also a busy hour for family logistics — picking up kids from after-school care, ferrying them between sport and other activities, and starting to think seriously about dinner. Some shift-based workplaces, particularly in retail and hospitality, use 5 pm as a changeover point between afternoon and evening staff.
For commuters relying on public transport, a precise alarm can matter more here than almost any other hour, since missing a specific train or bus at peak time often means a much longer wait for the next one.
Below is every minute of the 5 pm hour, each set up as its own browser-based alarm page. No installation is needed — just choose the minute, leave the tab open, and it will sound exactly on time.
