Online alarm clock for 7:16 am
While you watch the clock for the moment to leave before a road train closes the road, set the alarm for 7:16 am. It gives you a clear departure cue without repeatedly checking the time. You will also have a useful buffer before 8:00 am for starting the drive and getting beyond the affected stretch.
Your road-train departure depends on hearing the alert, so check the phone’s sound setting and alarm volume before you wait. Silent mode may suppress or soften browser audio on some devices; a quick sound test shows what yours will do. Keep this page open and the phone awake nearby. The road-train departure could be missed if the browser is closed or the phone goes to sleep, because this alarm cannot sound then.
Before leaving this early, choose something quick that will not delay the road-closure deadline. Water and a simple breakfast you can finish before 7:16 am are more practical than preparing a full meal as the departure approaches. Put any hot drink in a secure travel cup before the alarm, and leave food needing plates or cutlery until after the drive.
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.
