Online alarm clock for 6:19 am
As you hand the day charter over to the next skipper, a 6:19 am alarm can mark the moment to finish the briefing and head towards the marina. It leaves enough early-morning breathing room for the replacement crew to check the boat, load personal gear and prepare for a 7:00 am departure without turning the changeover into a rush.
During a handover, the alarm is only useful if it remains able to sound after you pass responsibility across. Keep this page active while you brief the other skipper, and make sure the phone stays awake with its sound set clearly above the noise around the jetty. If the browser is closed or the phone falls asleep, the alarm may not sound for the day charter, leaving the incoming crew without that final cue. A separate phone alarm is a sensible backup when timing affects departure.
While the outgoing crew points out the last details, check how much natural light will reach the berth at 6:19 am. Dawn conditions vary by season and location around Australia, so lay out a torch or headlamp beforehand rather than searching through a bag on the dock. Position it beside the keys or handover notes, where the next skipper can find it immediately if the deck, gate or path is still dim.
Common questions
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.
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.
