Online alarm clock for 9:17 pm
Halfway through sorting your night-fishing gear, you need a firm interruption at 9:17 pm so you can check the tide before heading onto the pier. The alarm separates that check from the rest of your preparation, while 10:00 pm remains a useful marker for packing the final items and setting off.
A tide check is easy to miss if the alarm plays through headphones you have put down or left connected nearby. Set the alert for 9:17 pm, then confirm where its sound is going and choose a level you can hear over your current task. The browser page must stay open and your device must remain awake; otherwise the alarm will not sound, and your fishing plans may continue without the pier conditions being checked.
Before you turn back to the tackle, arrange the light you will use when the alarm interrupts you. At 9:17 pm the evening may already be dark, depending on the season and your location in Australia, so place a charged torch or headlamp beside your gear. That saves you from searching through bags under indoor lighting and then discovering outdoors that batteries are weak or the beam is unsuitable for reading the tide information clearly.
Common questions
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.
Does the alarm work if my laptop goes to sleep?
Not reliably. If the device sleeps or the screen locks, the browser tab pauses along with it, so the alarm may not fire on time or at all. Adjust your power settings if you're relying on this over a longer stretch.
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.
