Online alarm clock for 3:03 pm
While you wait for the last ferry across the bay, a 3:03 pm alarm lets you watch the time without repeatedly checking your phone. It can mark the moment to gather your bag, leave the foreshore or head towards the wharf. With 4:00 pm approaching, there is still room for the trip to the terminal, but the sailing time should remain the fixed point in your afternoon.
A browser page left in the background may be slowed or muted by battery-saving settings, especially after you switch to maps or messages. Set the alarm, check that the volume is audible, then bring the page forward again before departure. If the browser page is closed or your phone falls asleep, the alarm may not sound, which could leave you watching the last ferry pull away. Treat it as an active reminder while you remain nearby, rather than something that will run independently.
Waiting beside the bay at 3:03 pm can feel warmer than the temperature suggests when the afternoon air is humid. Allow a little extra time for an unhurried walk, and choose a shaded spot with some airflow if you reach the wharf early. Keep any paper ticket or timetable inside your bag until needed, as damp air and spray can soften it quickly.
Common questions
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.
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.
