Online alarm clock for 3:09 pm
You are halfway through a job at 3:09 pm, but you will need to break away in time to meet the mobile library at the rural stop. Set the alarm for the moment you need to finish up, collect your library bag and head out. That leaves a clear boundary before 4:00 pm, rather than relying on a glance at the clock.
Because your phone may already be on silent, check that alarm sounds are allowed and turn the volume up enough to hear from where you are working. A quick test alarm can confirm the setting before you depend on it. Keep this page open and your phone awake: if either is shut down, the alarm may not sound, and you could miss the mobile library at the stop.
Your trip to a rural stop can take longer during the afternoon than the same drive earlier in the day. Allow for school pick-up traffic, roadworks, farm vehicles and the time needed to park safely off the road. Work backwards from the library’s expected arrival, then set 3:09 pm early enough to cover the actual journey without turning the drive into a rush.
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.
