Online alarm clock for 7:58 pm
You are midway through an evening run beside the river when 7:58 pm arrives, so the alarm needs to pull you away from your pace rather than merely mark the time. With 8:00 pm close, the signal can be your cue to leave the riverside path, slow to a walk and start heading towards your next stop.
Your river run may include traffic, cyclists, conversation and music, all of which can mask a quiet alert. Set the volume high enough to be heard over that background noise, then test the sound before continuing along the water. Keep the alarm page active and your phone awake; otherwise the signal may never interrupt your run. If you are using earphones, check whether the alert plays through them or through the phone speaker.
Leaving the river around 8:00 pm can put you on shared paths and nearby roads while evening traffic is still clearing in many Australian suburbs. Allow extra travel time for crossings, darker sections of the route and busy car parks near popular foreshore areas. A familiar shortcut may also take longer after sunset, so choose a well-lit way back and treat the alarm as the point for beginning that journey, not the time you expect to arrive.
Common questions
Do I need to create an account or download anything?
No, there's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Pick a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs entirely in this browser tab.
Can I change the alarm sound?
Yes, there's a short list of tones to choose from before you press Start. Pick whichever one you're most likely to actually hear — softer sounds are easier to sleep through than a firm chime or bell.
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.
