Online alarm clock for 4:39 pm

Finishing up at 4:39 pm means putting away what you are working on and getting ready to collect your child from their friends’ place. An alarm at this time marks the point to leave, rather than the moment to start finding shoes, keys and anything that needs to come along. Setting off now also gives you 21 minutes before 5:00 pm, which can cover part of the drive or a quick message that you are on the way.

A pickup alarm needs to be noticeable even when the phone has been quiet throughout the afternoon. Check the alert volume separately from the media volume, as silent mode or muted notifications may prevent the sound you expect. Keep the alarm page active and the phone awake; otherwise the alarm may stay silent and leave your child waiting at your friends’ place. A visible screen cue can provide a useful second signal if sound is restricted.

Collecting someone in the late afternoon can take longer than the same trip earlier in the day. Around 4:39 pm, commuter traffic, school-zone activity and busy local streets may add uncertainty to the drive. Allow a small travel buffer, check the route before leaving, and park somewhere safe if a delay means updating the people waiting.

Common questions

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.

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.
