Online alarm clock for 9:31 pm
You’re handing match-night duty to someone else just as the television coverage is about to begin, so set the alarm for 9:31 pm before passing over the remote. It gives the next person a clear cue without relying on a shouted reminder from another room. With 10:00 pm approaching, there is also time to sort out drinks or check the broadcast channel before the evening moves on.
Before the handover, check where the television audio is actually playing, since wireless headphones can stay connected without their owner noticing. The alarm may sound through those headphones instead of the room speakers, leaving the person taking over unaware. A quick audio check at normal volume makes the cue easier to recognise. This alarm depends on an active browser session and an awake computer; shutting everything down before the handover means the match cue will not sound.
A match starting at 9:31 pm can affect people who are already winding down elsewhere in the house. Keeping the television at a steady level, closing the lounge-room door and using subtitles during louder passages can reduce the interruption. If someone else needs the room early tomorrow, placing snacks, chargers and the remote within reach also avoids noisy trips through the house later in the evening.
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.
