Online alarm clock for 10:48 pm

You’re only just waking at 10:48 pm, so the evening river run is still an idea rather than something underway. Set the alarm as a firm cue to sit up, have some water and check what you need before leaving. With 11:00 pm approaching, those 12 minutes are enough to change, find your keys and get ready without turning the start into a rush.

A phone that dozes before the alert can quietly derail this plan, even when the alarm looked properly set. Keep the browser running in the foreground, leave the phone awake and connect it to power if the battery is low. Check that the volume is audible without being excessive. If the browser session ends or the phone falls asleep, the river run alarm will not sound, leaving you without the cue you expected.

Before stepping onto the riverside path late in the evening, keep the room lighting gentle while you prepare. A bright screen in a dark room can feel harsh on the eyes, so lower its brightness enough to read the alarm controls comfortably and switch off any glaring white display. Once everything is set, place the phone where the alert remains audible while you tie your shoes and gather reflective gear.

Common questions

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.

Do I need to create an account or download anything?

No, there's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Pick a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs entirely in this browser tab.
