Online alarm clock for 6:17 pm

You have just woken at 6:17 pm, so take a moment to get your bearings before heading out to move the cattle from the far paddock. An alarm set for 7:00 pm gives you time to dress, fill a water bottle and check the ute, gates and route while there is still afternoon light.

Because the alarm must wait while you prepare, leave this page open and keep your phone or computer awake, with its volume turned up enough to hear. If the browser is closed or the device goes to sleep first, the cattle departure may pass without any sound. A charger can help if the battery is low, and a separate phone alarm is a sensible backup when reaching the far paddock depends on leaving at the planned time.

Your departure may affect people settling in at home as the afternoon gives way to evening. Mention the 7:00 pm alarm beforehand, keep the device near you rather than in a shared room, and choose a clear but moderate sound. That reduces the chance of startling anyone while still giving you a useful cue. Before leaving, confirm who will secure the house, handle dinner or listen for your return, especially if the paddock is beyond reliable mobile coverage.

Common questions

Can I set more than one alarm at a time?

This page is built around a single alarm at a time. For multiple alarms, open a separate tab for each one and set a different time in each, keeping every tab open until it's rung.

Why use a browser alarm instead of my phone's built-in one?

Mainly for reliability against silent mode, do-not-disturb, or a phone left charging out of earshot. It's a useful backup or a desk-based alternative, though it depends on this tab staying open rather than running in the background of your phone.

Is there a cost to use this?

No, it's free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you set it. It just needs the tab left open until the time you've chosen arrives.

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.
