Online alarm clock for 6:57 pm

Pack up now and set a 6:57 pm alarm while you are preparing to leave for home before the evening traffic builds. It gives you a clear cue to collect your keys, check that you have everything and head out just before 7:00 pm, instead of noticing the time after another small task.

Your departure cue should suit the place where you are waiting. A gentle tone can work in a quiet office where a sudden sound would distract others, while a more persistent tone may be useful near end-of-day conversations or background noise. Set the volume high enough to recognise without making it unnecessarily harsh. Keep the alarm active and your phone awake, or the traffic departure reminder will make no sound.

Before leaving at 6:57 pm, check the likely travel time for your actual route rather than relying on the usual drive home. Late-afternoon congestion can change quickly around Australian CBD exits, school areas and motorway approaches. Allow a little room for a slow merge or a missed light, and have an alternative road in mind if the main corridor is already filling.

Common questions

What happens once the alarm goes off?

It rings through your device's speakers on a loop until you stop it from this page. There's no separate app notification, so make sure your volume is turned up before you rely on it.

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.
