Online alarm clock for 7:09 am
As you hand the Brisbane ferry shift over to the next crew member, set the alarm for 7:09 am so the changeover does not drift into the morning rush. It gives you a clear cue to finish the briefing, pass along any operational notes and confirm who is taking over before 8:00 am.
During a ferry shift handover, leave this alarm open on a device that will stay awake until it sounds, and keep the volume high enough to hear over nearby activity. If the browser closes or the device goes to sleep first, the alarm may not sound and your shift change could be delayed. A charger and a screen setting that prevents sleep can make the reminder more dependable while you complete the handover.
Before leaving the Brisbane ferry terminal in the early morning, check how the changing light affects the path between the work area, amenities and transport. At 7:09 am, glare may begin to build around exposed sections while covered areas remain dim. Position the screen away from direct light, have sunglasses ready if needed, and identify any shadowed steps or wet surfaces before you start moving.
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.
