Online alarm clock for 3:17 pm
Finish packing up and leave at 3:17 pm with enough warning to catch the last ferry across the bay. Setting the alarm now gives the afternoon a clear stopping point, whether you are leaving work, a mate’s place or a foreshore picnic. There are 43 minutes before 4:00 pm, so the alert can mark the moment to head towards the wharf rather than the departure itself.
Your ferry plan depends on hearing the signal, so test the alarm before relying on it. Set a nearby trial time, raise the volume to a level you can recognise and confirm that the sound plays through the speaker you expect. Then reset it for 3:17 pm and keep the browser available. If the page is closed or the phone goes to sleep, the ferry alarm may not sound, leaving you without the cue to set off.
Leaving beside the bay in the afternoon can mean walking from bright sun into a shaded terminal or darker car park. Before 3:17 pm, place sunglasses where they can be packed quickly and keep a torch accessible rather than buried under other gear. Check the light along the path you will use, especially near steps, ramps or an unlit section of the wharf, so the change in brightness does not slow your departure.
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.
