Online alarm clock for 5:09 pm
You’re halfway through something at home when you realise the last ferry across the bay will not wait. Set the alarm for 5:09 pm so the sound breaks into what you’re doing and gives you a clear cue to leave. With 51 minutes until 6:00 pm, there is still time to gather your keys, wallet and ferry pass without letting the departure slip from mind.
Once the alarm is set, you can put this page behind another browser tab while you finish the task, but leave the browser running and keep the sound audible. Check that your phone is not muted before relying on the alert. If the browser is closed or the phone falls asleep, the alarm cannot interrupt you for the ferry, so use a separate phone alarm as a backup when missing that sailing would leave you stranded.
Leaving for the bay at 5:09 pm can affect everyone sharing the house, especially if bags, shoes or car keys are in common areas. Tell them when you need to head out, place what you need near the door, and choose an alert volume they can hear without it startling the whole household. That keeps the late-afternoon change of pace clear for you and considerate for others.
Common questions
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.
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.
