Online alarm clock for 3:58 pm

As you hand the quiet shop over to someone else, set an alarm for 3:58 pm so the pause is not lost among a final till check or a quick update for the next person. With only a couple of minutes before 4:00 pm, the alert marks the point to finish the handover, close for the break and step away without leaving your replacement guessing.

A quiet afternoon may suit a soft tone if you are already near the counter, while a more insistent sound makes sense if the handover could take you into a stockroom or out the back. Choose the tone for the distance and background noise, then leave the alarm page visible and keep your phone awake; otherwise the shop handover can pass in silence. Check that the volume is high enough to notice without startling whoever has just taken over.

A late-afternoon shop changeover can also be heard by other people in the house, especially if the business shares space with family or housemates. Place the phone close to you and use the gentler tone when others are studying, working or resting nearby. At 3:58 pm, a nearby alarm usually needs less volume, and stopping it promptly keeps the break signal from becoming everyone else’s interruption.

Common questions

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.

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.
