Online alarm clock for 10:17 pm
Before heading out to collect the board from the hire shop, you are setting a 10:17 pm alarm so the closing time does not slip past unnoticed. It leaves a clear reminder while you gather the receipt, keys and anything needed for the trip. With 11:00 pm approaching, that early preparation also gives you room for a delayed departure or a few extra minutes on the road.
Because the board collection depends on hearing the alert, the alarm page needs to remain open and your phone or computer must stay awake. If you close the browser or the device goes to sleep, the alarm cannot sound, which could leave you arriving after the hire counter has shut. The displayed countdown provides a quick check that the 10:17 pm alarm is running, while keeping the volume audible helps the signal stand out from ordinary evening noise.
Getting ready for a late board pickup is easier when the route out of the house is already visible. Before 10:17 pm, leaving a porch or hallway light on can prevent a last-minute search for shoes, keys or paperwork in a dark room. A dim screen setting may suit the evening, but the alarm should still be easy to recognise at a glance when it appears.
Common questions
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.
Can I set more than one alarm at a time?
This page is built around a single alarm at a time. For multiple alarms, open a separate tab for each one and set a different time in each, keeping every tab open until it's rung.
Why use a browser alarm instead of my phone's built-in one?
Mainly for reliability against silent mode, do-not-disturb, or a phone left charging out of earshot. It's a useful backup or a desk-based alternative, though it depends on this tab staying open rather than running in the background of your phone.
Is there a cost to use this?
No, it's free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you set it. It just needs the tab left open until the time you've chosen arrives.
