Online alarm clock for 9:44 am
As you finish the last preparations and head out, a 9:44 am alarm can mark the moment to return and meet the bushfire safety inspector. It gives you a clear cue before the morning slips towards 10:00 am, whether you are checking the property entrance, putting paperwork by the door or making sure access around the house is clear.
Your inspection plans depend on the device staying active until the selected time. A phone or laptop may go to sleep before 9:44 am, especially if you set the alarm and leave it untouched, so adjust its sleep setting or keep it connected to power. If you close the browser tab or allow the device to sleep, the alarm cannot sound and the bushfire safety inspector may arrive while you are still away.
Before the inspector arrives, consider how the late-morning heat affects the rooms and outdoor areas you will walk through. If the air conditioner is running, set it early enough to make the inside comfortable without masking the alarm tone. Keep your device nearby rather than leaving it beside a noisy unit, and allow a little time to move from the cool interior into the warmer yard without rushing.
Common questions
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.
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.
