Online alarm clock for 10:42 am
As you hand the board-hire counter over to the next staff member, a 10:42 am alarm can mark the moment for the final key, waiver or return note. It leaves a useful buffer before 11:00 am, so the incoming shift can check what is still outstanding while you are there to explain it.
During a busy handover, the alarm page may slip behind the booking screen or another browser page. Some phones and browsers restrict background activity, so keep the alarm active and the sound turned up. If you close the page or let the phone sleep, the alarm may not sound, and the shift change could pass without that last board-hire check.
By late morning, conversation at the counter can mix with boards being moved, customers returning gear and traffic near the beach. Put the phone close enough that its tone stands apart from that noise, rather than leaving it beside the racks. As the rush can change quickly around this hour, a distinct alarm sound is easier to recognise than one resembling a message notification.
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.
