Set the timer to 12 hours

Online timer for 12 hours

While the kiwifruit harvest runs for 12 hours, you may simply be waiting for the full shift to finish rather than watching every crate leave the orchard. The countdown keeps the remaining time visible while picking crews move through the rows, bins fill, and daylight gives way to an autumn evening.

As the harvest continues without your involvement, closing the browser tab may stop the countdown or prevent its alert from sounding, depending on the device and its settings. A laptop that sleeps in the packhouse can have the same problem. Leaving the page open and the device awake makes the finish easier to track, especially when the shift runs beyond sunset.

During a long kiwifruit shift that you are waiting out, a phone is usually easier to keep nearby as crews change blocks or move between orchard and packhouse. A laptop offers a larger display if it will remain open at a desk, but it is less useful when you need to check progress from outside. Keep the chosen device charged and protected from orchard dust and damp weather.
