Online alarm clock for 8:15 pm
Hand the board-game club session to the next host at 8:15 pm, leaving them enough time to settle the table before 9:00 pm. An alarm gives you a clear cue to finish explaining the current round, pass over any notes and step away without repeatedly checking the clock.
Your game handover can easily miss its cue if the alarm sound has quietly been routed to headphones. Check the audio output before relying on it, set a volume you can hear over conversation, and keep the headphones nearby rather than buried in a bag. This browser alarm cannot sound if it is no longer running when the game changes hands, so use a separate phone alarm if you expect to walk away or let the screen go inactive.
Before leaving the evening session, have water and a light snack while there is still time to pack up calmly. Save a full meal, hot takeaway or anything messy for after the handover, especially if shared cards and pieces are still on the table. At 8:15 pm, this keeps greasy fingers and open cups away from the game while giving you something small before the trip home.
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.
