Online alarm clock for 8:57 pm
You’re preparing tonight so the boat is ready for an early crossing of the bar, rather than leaving every check until morning. Set the alarm for 8:57 pm as a prompt to confirm the fuel, safety gear, weather forecast and local bar conditions. With 9:00 pm close by, you can finish the final checks and leave the launch area organised for a calmer departure.
Your boat preparations could be missed if the phone or tablet is on silent, so check that alarm audio can be heard before relying on it. Raise the media volume, allow sound from the browser and run a quick test while you are still nearby. Keep this page open and the device awake: once the page is closed or the device goes to sleep, the browser alarm cannot sound to remind you about the boat.
Before settling in for the evening, work backwards from your planned launch and allow for the road trip to the ramp. Traffic may be lighter later, but roadworks, wildlife on darker stretches and time spent loading gear can lengthen the drive. Check the route at 8:57 pm, note a realistic travel time, then add a buffer so you arrive without rushing the tow, launch or bar assessment.
Common questions
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.
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.
