Online alarm clock for 6:45 pm
As you finish preparing the marae hall for the evening hui, set the 18:45 alarm as the signal to pack away your gear and leave. That gives you a clear stopping point before 19:00, whether you are checking the seating, returning kitchen items or making sure the entrance is tidy for the people arriving next.
The right alarm sound depends on what the marae will be like while you wrap up. Choose a gentle tone if the hall has settled and you only need a quiet reminder; use a more persistent sound if conversations, moving chairs or activity in the kitchen could cover it. Keep the alarm page active and your phone awake, as the marae departure reminder cannot sound after the browser is closed or the phone sleeps.
While you complete the final jobs at 18:45, notice whether the afternoon bustle is fading or the evening hui is beginning to bring fresh noise. Put the phone close enough to hear over stacked chairs and nearby kōrero, but away from any spot being cleared. If the room is growing louder towards 19:00, raise the volume now rather than relying on a softer alert across the hall.
