Online alarm clock for 4:14 pm
You’re wrapping up what you’re doing and heading out to drive your teenager to a surf lifesaving club shift. Set the alarm for 4:14 pm so leaving does not slip behind one last chore or message. With 46 minutes until 5:00 pm, there is time to gather their uniform, water bottle and anything needed at the beach.
Before relying on the alarm for the club departure, run a quick sound check while you are still nearby. Set a test for a minute ahead, turn the phone volume up and confirm that the alert is clearly audible over household noise. Keep this browser page open and the phone awake: if either closes down, the alarm may not sound, leaving your teenager late for the lifesaving shift.
As you finish packing for a 4:14 pm departure, look at how quickly the afternoon light is changing outside. Put sunglasses where you can reach them before starting the car, and switch the headlights on early if cloud, sea haze or long shadows make the road less clear. Parking areas near the beach can also shift between bright glare and deep shade, so check for pedestrians and cyclists carefully when arriving.
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.
