Online alarm clock for 4:44 pm
As you finish rowing and turn towards the riverbank at 4:44 pm, this alarm can mark the moment to leave the water before sunset. There are 16 minutes until 5:00 pm, enough time to bring the boat in, secure the oars and gather your gear without stretching the session past the planned finish.
A riverside pack-up makes the alarm’s sound settings more than a minor detail. After selecting 4:44 pm, the displayed alarm should remain active, with the phone volume audible and silent mode switched off so the signal is not lost beneath water, wind or nearby activity. If the browser stops running or the phone goes to sleep, the alarm will not sound to end your rowing session, so a separate phone alarm is sensible when timing the return matters.
Leaving the river in the late afternoon can feel different from arriving, particularly when humidity has risen or a breeze has dropped. At 4:44 pm, keep a dry layer within reach for the trip home, even if the session itself felt warm. A quick check that damp clothing and equipment are packed separately also makes the change from river air to the car or public transport more comfortable.
Common questions
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.
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.
