Online alarm clock for 5:46 pm
You’re watching the clock for the last ferry across the bay, knowing a small distraction could leave you on the wrong side of the water. Setting the alarm for 5:46 pm gives you a clear cue to gather your things and head towards the terminal before 6:00 pm, with 14 minutes available for the final walk or drive.
With the ferry departure depending on a signal you can actually hear, check the alarm volume against the noise around you. Conversations, traffic, music or a busy waterfront can easily cover a quiet tone, so choose a distinct sound and keep the phone nearby. A browser alarm will not sound once its page is closed or your phone goes to sleep, so relying on it alone could mean missing the ferry; a separate phone alarm is a sensible backup.
Waiting for a late-afternoon departure can feel warmer than expected, especially after standing in direct sun or stepping out of strong air conditioning. Stay in the shade where possible and keep water handy, but remain close enough to hear boarding announcements. If the terminal is heavily air-conditioned, having a light extra layer within reach avoids an uncomfortable crossing without adding another stop before departure.
Common questions
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.
Does the alarm work if my laptop goes to sleep?
Not reliably. If the device sleeps or the screen locks, the browser tab pauses along with it, so the alarm may not fire on time or at all. Adjust your power settings if you're relying on this over a longer stretch.
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.
