Online alarm clock for 3:36 pm
Pull yourself away from the sand at 3:36 pm so the beach afternoon does not quietly stretch past your planned departure. This alarm suits the moment when you are still swimming, reading or watching the water but need a firm cue to pack up and head back before dusk. It also leaves a useful margin before 4:00 pm for shaking out towels, finding thongs and gathering everything scattered near your spot.
Keep the alarm page active while you enjoy the remaining beach time. If another tab moves in front, the timer should continue running, although browser and phone settings can sometimes restrict activity that has been left in the background. Check that the alarm remains visible and armed after switching back. The beach reminder will not sound if you close the page or let the phone go to sleep, so use a separate phone alarm when missing the cue would leave you travelling after dusk.
As the afternoon edges towards 4:00 pm, voices, surf and nearby traffic can make a browser alarm easier to miss. Set the phone where its speaker is uncovered rather than buried under clothes or inside a packed bag, and choose a volume that can cut through the surrounding noise. If the beach begins to empty and the soundscape settles, the same alert may seem much sharper, so keep it close enough to hear without disturbing people farther along the sand.
Common questions
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.
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.
