Online alarm clock for 8:35 pm
You have just woken at 8:35 pm, and checking your shoes after a walk through tick country is still waiting to be done. Set the alarm for this time so the job does not slip your mind while you properly wake up. Once the shoes are checked, you will still have a clear stopping point before 9:00 pm.
Your shoe check depends on the alarm page remaining active. If you close this tab or the browser, or let your phone go to sleep, the alarm may not sound, leaving the shoes unchecked for longer than you intended. Keep the page open and the device awake, with the volume high enough to hear from where you plan to sit. A quick sound check can confirm that your current settings are suitable.
After an evening walk, outdoor humidity can leave shoes damp and make small bits of grass or dirt less obvious. At 8:35 pm, bring them under a bright light near the door or on the verandah, then inspect the uppers, seams, tongues and tread before putting them away. If the air is still muggy, leave the shoes somewhere ventilated rather than inside a closed cupboard.
Common questions
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.
Can I change the alarm sound?
Yes, there's a short list of tones to choose from before you press Start. Pick whichever one you're most likely to actually hear — softer sounds are easier to sleep through than a firm chime or bell.
