Online alarm clock for 8:28 pm
You have just woken at 8:28 pm, with the evening ocean-pool swim still only an idea and your towel and swimmers untouched. An alarm for this exact time gives you a clear point to get up, check the pool’s night access and decide whether you can be ready before 9:00 pm. Because this alarm relies on the browser staying active, it may not sound for your swim once your screen has been put away.
Your ocean-pool plans could be delayed if the alert plays through headphones you forgot were connected. Before settling back, check the sound output shown on your phone or computer and play a brief test tone at a sensible level. Bluetooth earbuds left in a bag or another room can quietly take the alarm sound with them, while the screen still appears to be working normally. Keeping the selected output nearby makes the 8:28 pm alert easier to notice.
A late swim can leave less time for sleep, so the useful choice is a firm return point before leaving home. Allow for changing, rinsing off and travelling back from the ocean pool, not just the time spent in the water. If tomorrow starts early, a shorter session tonight preserves more of the sleep that remains after 8:28 pm and avoids letting the outing drift across the rest of the evening.
Common questions
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.
Do I need to create an account or download anything?
No, there's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Pick a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs entirely in this browser tab.
