Online alarm clock for 5:40 pm
As you finish your sunset rowing session and leave the river, a 5:40 pm alarm can mark the moment to bring the shell in, gather your gear and head for the ramp. It gives you a clear stopping point without watching the clock through the final stretch. There are 20 minutes until 6:00 pm, enough time to pack methodically if everything is already close at hand.
A warning for the end of rowing practice is only useful if the browser remains open and the phone or computer stays awake until it sounds. If either is shut down too early, the river session may finish without an audible alert. Keeping the screen active while you complete the last few strokes reduces that risk; a separate phone alarm is sensible when missing the finish time would leave others waiting at the ramp.
Leaving the water at 5:40 pm can put the drive home into late-afternoon commuter traffic, especially near city bridges, riverside precincts and busy suburban intersections. Allow for the time needed to secure the boat before judging the road journey, and check the likely route before launching. Packing a water bottle, towel and keys where they can be reached quickly also prevents a small delay at the river from becoming a longer one on the road.
Common questions
Do I need to create an account or download anything?
No, there's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Pick a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs entirely in this browser tab.
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.
