Online alarm clock for 4:18 pm
While you watch the clock for the last ferry across the bay, an alarm for 4:18 pm can mark the moment to stop waiting and head for the jetty. It leaves 42 minutes before 5:00 pm, enough time to collect your keys, check that everyone is ready and make your way out without repeatedly checking the time.
Your ferry plan depends on hearing the alert, so check the phone’s sound setting and raise the media volume before settling in. Silent mode can suppress or soften browser audio, depending on the phone and its settings; a quick test alert avoids that uncertainty. Keep the alarm page running and the phone awake, because otherwise the ferry reminder will not sound when 4:18 pm arrives.
Anyone else at home may also be affected when the alarm sounds during the afternoon. Choose a clear but moderate volume if someone is working, resting or watching television nearby, and keep the phone close to you rather than across the room. A brief label such as “last ferry” also makes the purpose obvious if another person hears or sees the alert, while a second quieter reminder a few minutes earlier can give the household time to finish up before departure.
Common questions
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.
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.
