Online alarm clock for 8:25 am
While you prepare to leave before a road train closes the road, setting an alarm for 8:25 am gives you a firm point for wrapping up the last checks. You can have your keys, water and route ready well before you need to move, rather than scrambling as 9:00 am approaches. That leaves time to check any local traffic advice and start without rushing.
Your early departure depends on the alarm remaining able to run until 8:25 am. Keep this page open and prevent your phone, tablet or computer from going to sleep while you wait. A sleeping device or closed browser page cannot sound this alarm, which could leave your road-train departure without its cue. Set the volume high enough to hear from where you are packing, then test that sound is permitted before putting the device down.
As your planned road-train departure draws closer, listen for how the surroundings change through the early morning. Household noise, traffic and machinery may become noticeably louder by 8:25 am, so place the device nearby instead of relying on an alarm from another room. If you are outside checking the vehicle, keep it somewhere sheltered but audible; the rising background noise before 9:00 am can otherwise mask a quiet signal.
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.
