Online alarm clock for 9:57 pm

While you wait to check your shoes after a walk through tick country, set the alarm for 9:57 pm and keep an eye on the clock. That gives you a definite moment to stop what you are doing, rather than letting the check slip past 10:00 pm. You can leave the shoes near a bright light while you wait.

Your shoe check needs an alarm you can actually hear above the television, music or a noisy kitchen. Set your phone’s media volume high enough for the signal to stand out, then avoid leaving it under a cushion or in another room. Keep this page open and your phone awake; otherwise the alarm may not sound and your shoes could remain unchecked. If the room is busy, stay close enough to notice the screen as well.

Because 9:57 pm falls late in the evening, allow a small buffer before whatever you still need to do tonight. Put the shoes somewhere contained, use strong lighting, and have clean clothes or a shower ready if they are part of your usual post-walk routine. A few uncommitted minutes after the alarm will let you finish carefully without pushing the rest of your evening off schedule.

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.
