Online alarm clock for 11:53 pm
While you watch the clock for the assigned moment to remove a tier from the longline under MPI requirements, set the alarm for 11:53 pm. The seven minutes before 12:00 am leave enough time to confirm which tier is due and have the necessary gear ready without starting the job early.
For this longline task, check your phone’s sound setting after entering 11:53 pm, because silent mode may suppress the alert or make it easy to miss over deck noise. Raise the alert volume and use a recognisable tone, then keep the browser page active. If the page is closed or your phone falls asleep, the alarm may not sound, so it should not be your only cue for removing the longline tier.
Once the tier is cleared near midnight, keep the rest of the routine brief so more of the night remains available for sleep. Put away the gear you used, record any required details while they are fresh, and avoid leaving a bright screen on longer than necessary. If another crew member can confirm the timing, arrange that check before settling down again.
Common questions
Can I use the alarm as my signal to leave for a ferry or flight?
Yes, as a personal reminder, but it cannot see check-in requirements, queues, cancellations, Cook Strait wind, road closures, or delays on the way to the terminal. Confirm the operator's current advice and set the time with enough margin for the entire journey.
Is this alarm suitable for medicine, cooking, or safety checks?
It may be one reminder, but it cannot verify a dose, inspect food, or monitor a hazard. Follow the relevant instructions and supervise risks directly. Keep a reliable backup whenever a missed alert could affect health or safety, and check the device remains powered and audible.
Will the alarm sound if I switch to another tab?
It can, as long as the alarm page stays open and the browser continues running. Device sleep, a flat battery, silent mode, blocked browser audio, or Bluetooth connected elsewhere may prevent you hearing it. Test the tone first and use a second alarm for anything consequential.
Does daylight saving change the alarm time?
The alarm follows the clock and time zone reported by your device. Clocks move forward in September and back in April, so confirm the displayed date and time after a change. Check overseas invitations carefully because other places may change clocks on different dates or not at all.
