Online alarm clock for 6:59 pm
Step away from the barbecue for a moment and set the alarm while the neighbours are still chatting in the backyard. At 6:59 pm, it gives you a clear cue to pause what you are doing when 7:00 pm arrives, whether that means checking the food, bringing out another platter or switching tasks before the evening gets away from you.
Once the barbecue is moving along, the alarm page may end up behind a recipe, message or music screen. Leaving it in the background is fine, but keep its browser page open and make sure the phone stays awake enough to run it. If you close that page or let the phone sleep, no alarm will interrupt the barbecue. Check that the sound is audible before returning outside, especially if conversation and the sizzle from the hotplate could cover a quiet alert.
Backyard cooking near 7:00 pm can feel quite different from the dry heat of earlier afternoon. Humidity may make the air seem heavier even as the temperature eases, so keep drinks within reach and place napkins or paper plates where a damp breeze will not shift them. If the air is still, moving the serving table a little farther from the hotplate can also make the next stretch of the barbecue more comfortable.
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.
