Online alarm clock for 5:38 pm
While you watch the clock for the last ferry across the bay, a 5:38 pm alarm gives your waiting a clear end point. It leaves enough time to check the departure board, gather your bag, and stay within earshot rather than repeatedly unlocking your phone. With 6:00 pm approaching, the alert can mark the moment to head towards the wharf.
Because this alert runs in your browser, treat the page as part of your ferry plan until it rings. If you close it or let your phone go to sleep, the ferry alarm may stay silent, leaving you without the cue you were watching for. Choose 5:38 pm, check that your volume is audible, and keep the screen active while you wait nearby.
Near a bay terminal, the afternoon soundscape can shift quickly as commuters thin out and engines idle before departure. Keep the phone close enough that an announcement or a reversing vehicle will not mask the 5:38 pm tone, but avoid holding it where wind off the water hits the speaker. A short vibration setting adds a useful cue in that changing noise.
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.
