Online alarm clock for 6:53 am
While getting ready to head to the market for the morning’s fresh catch, set the alarm for 6:53 am before packing the esky, bags and keys. That leaves a small buffer before 7:00 am, so the ute can be loaded and the route checked without turning the departure into a last-minute scramble.
During those preparations, the alarm page may end up behind maps, weather information or another screen. It can still sound while running in the background, but browser and phone settings may restrict it, so keep its sound permission enabled and volume audible. Do not rely on this alarm for the market run if the browser will be closed or the phone allowed to sleep; in that state, the alert may never sound and the freshest catch could already be moving through the stalls when you arrive.
Before leaving in the soft early light, keep the screen dim enough that it does not glare while checking the alarm, but bright enough to read 6:53 am clearly. A warmer display setting can make the quick glance less harsh in a dark kitchen or driveway. Once the time is confirmed, place the phone where the screen will not shine directly towards your eyes while you finish loading for the market.
Common questions
Is this alarm accurate across daylight saving time?
It uses your device's local clock, so as long as your computer's time and date settings are correct, it'll adjust automatically when daylight saving time starts or ends.
Can I use this on my phone instead of a laptop?
Yes, it works in a mobile browser the same way, but phones are more likely to lock the screen or sleep, which can stop the alarm from ringing. A laptop or desktop tends to be more reliable for this.
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.
