Online alarm clock for 10:16 am
With the board-hire shift finished, 10:16 am is the moment to hand over the counter, return the keys and head out. An alarm at this exact time keeps the departure from drifting while final notes or stray equipment are sorted. It also leaves a clear stretch before 11:00 am rather than letting the morning disappear at the kiosk.
While the board-hire page sits behind another browser page, the countdown can continue and the alarm can still sound at 10:16 am. Phones may restrict background activity, however, so leaving the browser available and checking that sound is audible makes the alert less easy to miss. Once the phone is put away in a state that stops browser activity, there may be no alarm sound to mark the board-hire handover. A separate phone alarm is sensible when missing the cue would keep the next staff member waiting.
After leaving the hire counter, treat the remaining morning as a buffer before the next commitment, not as spare time that needs filling. Allow part of it for walking to the car, sunscreen, water and any traffic around the beach precinct. Keeping ten or fifteen minutes unclaimed before the next same-day task gives small handover delays somewhere to land without pushing everything else back.
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.
