Online alarm clock for 8:46 pm

While you are getting ready to collect your child from TAFE classes, set the 8:46 pm alarm before shoes, keys and a last-minute search for a jacket take over. It gives you a clear cue to wrap up what you are doing and head out, with 9:00 pm close enough to serve as a useful check on your departure time.

Your TAFE pickup depends on the alarm sounding while you can still leave promptly, so keep this page active and your phone or computer awake until 8:46 pm. If the browser is closed or the device goes to sleep first, the alarm cannot alert you, and your child may be left waiting after classes. Plug in a low battery, raise the volume to a level you will notice, and check that silent mode will not hide the sound.

Because your departure can affect everyone settling in at home, mention that the 8:46 pm alarm will sound and keep the device near you rather than in a shared room. In the evening, a moderate volume can still catch your attention without startling someone watching television, studying or getting ready for bed. Put your keys by the door now so the alarm leads straight to leaving.

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.
