Online alarm clock for 7:06 pm
As you wrap up the evening flying-fox count and prepare to leave the site, an alarm set for 7:06 pm gives you a clear stopping point. You can finish the final tally, check that your notes and gear are packed, and head off without letting the survey drift towards 8:00 pm.
A flying-fox count may end in a quiet roost area or beside a road with traffic and other observers nearby, so match the alarm tone to the surroundings. A softer sound can mark the finish without causing a sudden disturbance, while a more persistent tone suits a place where conversation or passing vehicles could mask it. Keep this browser page open and your device awake: otherwise, the alarm may stay silent and your count could run beyond the planned finish.
Packing up after field observations is easier when food and drink have already been considered. During the evening, keep water accessible and choose a small, tidy snack that will not leave sticky hands on a notebook, phone or binoculars. Save a larger meal for after you have recorded the last figures and reached a suitable stopping place, rather than juggling containers while checking equipment in fading light.
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.
