Online alarm clock for 3:28 pm

Waking from an afternoon nap at 3:28 pm, you need a clear cue to get moving for the school pickup. Set the alarm for the departure time that suits your route, allowing for the trip, parking and the walk to the gate. With 4:00 pm approaching, those 32 minutes can cover getting dressed, collecting keys and checking that everyone’s bags are ready.

Because collecting the children depends on hearing the alert, test the sound now rather than discovering a problem when you should be leaving. Set a temporary alarm a minute ahead, confirm the volume is noticeable, then replace it with your actual time. Keep this page active and the phone or computer awake: if either stops running normally, the school pickup alarm may not sound and you could leave late.

On a weekday afternoon, the sound around home can change quickly as local schools finish, traffic builds and neighbours arrive back. Place the phone close enough that the alarm remains distinct from conversation, television or street noise, but not underneath clothing or inside a bag. If you are still drowsy, choose a clearly recognisable tone and keep your keys beside the phone so silencing it leads straight into leaving.

Common questions

Can I set more than one alarm at a time?

This page is built around a single alarm at a time. For multiple alarms, open a separate tab for each one and set a different time in each, keeping every tab open until it's rung.

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.
