Online alarm clock for 6:20 pm
While you wait for your bar shift to begin, a 6:20 pm alarm lets you stop checking the clock every few minutes without losing track of the appointed moment. There are 40 minutes until 7:00 pm, enough time to finish getting ready, check your route and gather anything you need behind the bar.
Your bar shift may start in a room already filled with music, conversation and clattering glassware, so set the alarm volume high enough to stand out from the background noise. Keep the phone close rather than buried in a bag, and choose a signal you can recognise quickly. The alarm works only while this page remains open and the phone or computer stays awake; otherwise, the bar shift reminder will make no sound when 6:20 pm arrives. A separate phone alarm is a sensible backup if you may lock the screen or leave the browser.
Before a late-afternoon bar shift, a light snack and some water can be easier to fit in than a full meal rushed near 6:20 pm. Something simple, such as fruit, yoghurt or toast, leaves less washing up and fewer loose ends before departure. Save a heavier meal and any drink that could slow your preparation until the shift is finished.
Common questions
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.
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.
