Online alarm clock for 8:40 pm
While getting ready to walk your guests to the last train, set the alarm for 8:40 pm before coats, fare cards and goodbyes take over. That leaves a useful checkpoint before 9:00 pm: enough time to confirm the departure platform, gather anything they brought and work out when everyone needs to leave for the station.
Your send-off depends on hearing the alert, so keep the browser running and the phone or computer awake until 8:40 pm. If the browser is closed or the phone falls asleep, the alarm may stay silent and your guests could miss their cue to head out. Plugging in a low battery and turning the volume up now can prevent a quiet notification from being lost beneath conversation.
Before stepping outside with everyone, check how humid the evening feels rather than judging it through an open doorway. At 8:40 pm, warm Australian air can still feel close after sunset, while a coastal breeze may make the walk noticeably cooler. A light layer can help if the station platform is exposed, and allowing a few unhurried minutes means no one has to rush through muggy air carrying bags.
Common questions
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.
What happens once the alarm goes off?
It rings through your device's speakers on a loop until you stop it from this page. There's no separate app notification, so make sure your volume is turned up before you rely on it.
Is this alarm accurate across daylight saving time?
It uses your device's local clock, so as long as your computer's time and date settings are correct, it'll adjust automatically when daylight saving time starts or ends.
