How to use the online alarm clock
As your companion takes over leading the waterfront walk, a 10:24 pm alarm can mark the handover without interrupting the cooler evening pace. It also leaves a clear stretch before 11:00 pm for finishing a loop along the promenade or agreeing where the group will meet afterwards.
Before leaving the brighter, busier part of the promenade, play a test signal and check that it is loud enough to notice over conversation and nearby traffic. That quick check confirms what everyone should listen for when the handover time arrives. Your waterfront walk will receive no alarm if this page is closed or the phone goes to sleep, so another person should keep the time as a backup when the cue matters.
Once someone else has taken charge of the walk, the remaining evening can include a small bottle of water or a light snack already packed for the route. A large meal is easier to leave until after the promenade, especially when the group is still moving at 10:24 pm. Drinks in open cups are also better saved for a seated stop, where they are less likely to spill during the changeover.
Common questions
After closing this tab, can I still hear the alarm?
If you close the tab before 10:24 pm, the alarm will not go off because its countdown ends with the page. The tab may remain out of view while you use another one, but the browser and alarm page must stay open.
Must I keep this tab open until the alarm sounds?
The alarm is tied to the current browser session, so shutting the tab or the whole browser prevents the 10:24 pm alert from sounding. Keeping the page open is enough; it can remain in a background tab while you do something else.
What happens if my laptop sleeps before 10:24 pm?
If the laptop sleeps before 10:24 pm, the browser tab may pause too, so the alarm could sound late or not at all. Keep the device plugged in, adjust its sleep settings, and use a phone alarm as a backup when punctuality matters.
If the laptop enters sleep mode before 10:24 pm, what happens?
Once the screen and laptop enter sleep mode, the countdown cannot be trusted to stay active until 10:24 pm. Set the computer to remain awake, connect it to power, and add a separate alarm on your phone for an important meeting, school run, or prayer time.
