Online alarm clock for 10:44 pm
As you hand your current task to the next person, set 10:44 pm as the cue to leave and arrive at the SES volunteer meeting before 11:00 pm. That creates a clear changeover point without letting a final conversation run into your travel time. Keep your keys, radio and briefing notes together so you can finish the handover cleanly.
A late shift change is the wrong moment to discover that your alert is too quiet. Set the alarm with enough time to test its sound now, then confirm that the volume can be heard from wherever you will wait. Do not rely on this browser alarm as the only prompt for the SES volunteer meeting: it cannot sound after the browser session ends or your phone goes to sleep. A separate phone alarm provides a sensible backup.
Once the handover is underway, choose something quick that will not delay your departure. Water and a small snack are practical before a 10:44 pm alert, especially if the evening has been busy. Leave a larger meal until after the SES volunteer meeting or until your responsibilities allow a proper break; packing it beforehand means you will not need to stop on the way.
Common questions
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.
Will the alarm still ring if I close the browser tab?
No. The alarm only runs while this tab stays open — closing it, or closing the browser entirely, stops the countdown before it can ring. Keep the tab open in the background if you need it to go off later.
Does the alarm work if my laptop goes to sleep?
Not reliably. If the device sleeps or the screen locks, the browser tab pauses along with it, so the alarm may not fire on time or at all. Adjust your power settings if you're relying on this over a longer stretch.
