Online alarm clock for 6:37 pm
As you hand the river session over to another rower, set the alarm for 6:37 pm so the changeover does not blur into the final preparations for a sunset training run. That gives the incoming person a clear cue to check the boat, collect their gear and be ready before 7:00 pm, without relying on someone else to watch the clock.
Because this alarm will matter while everyone is busy around the water, test its sound now rather than discovering later that the volume is too low. Set a temporary alarm a minute ahead, listen for it, then return the time to 6:37 pm. A browser alarm cannot sound after its running session has ended, so the rowing handover could be missed if the alarm is left without an active setup.
Whoever is taking over should allow for the trip to the river at this point in the afternoon. Around 6:37 pm, roads near city centres, bridges and popular waterside areas can still carry commuter traffic, while parking near a shared boathouse may add another few minutes. Work backwards from the planned launch time and include the walk from the car, unloading gear and any gate access, rather than treating arrival at the river as being ready to row.
Common questions
Can I use this on my phone instead of a laptop?
Yes, it works in a mobile browser the same way, but phones are more likely to lock the screen or sleep, which can stop the alarm from ringing. A laptop or desktop tends to be more reliable for this.
Can I set more than one alarm at a time?
This page is built around a single alarm at a time. For multiple alarms, open a separate tab for each one and set a different time in each, keeping every tab open until it's rung.
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.
