Online alarm clock for 6:31 pm
You have just woken at 6:31 pm, and the river rowing session near sunset has not begun yet. Set the alarm before sorting your kit, checking the weather, or working out how you will reach the launch point. With 7:00 pm approaching, the alert can mark the moment to stop getting ready and leave, while there is still useful evening light over the water.
Once the rowing time is set, this page may continue running when you switch to another browser tab, although background activity can sometimes be slowed by browser or phone power settings. Keep the page available and check that the alarm volume is audible before moving on to preparations. If the browser is closed or the phone falls fully asleep, the river alarm cannot sound, which could leave you packing while the crew is already preparing to launch.
Waking this late in the afternoon can make it tempting to linger before heading out, but another long sleep now may take away from the sleep you planned for tonight. Use the remaining time for low-effort tasks: drink some water, gather a light layer for the cooler air after sunset, and place keys, shoes and rowing gear together. That keeps the transition from nap to river simple without turning 6:31 pm into another extended rest.
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.
