Online alarm clock for 4:20 pm
You’re handing the cricket-training lift to someone else, so a 4:20 pm alarm can mark the moment they need to take over. Confirm who is collecting your teenager, pass on the ground location, and mention any gear already packed. That leaves 40 minutes before 5:00 pm to sort out a missing bat, drink bottle, or change of clothes without turning the handover into a rush.
A cricket pickup can easily be missed if the alert plays through headphones that nobody is wearing. Before relying on this alarm, check where your browser’s sound is being sent and play a quick test if headphones were connected earlier. Set the volume high enough for the person taking over to notice. A browser alarm stops keeping watch when its page is dismissed or the computer or phone sleeps, which could leave the cricket lift without its reminder; keep the alarm running and use a separate backup if the pickup cannot slip.
After passing over the afternoon lift, look at what follows training rather than treating 4:20 pm as the day’s final checkpoint. Leave a small buffer for Auckland traffic, a session running late, or finding the correct entrance at an unfamiliar ground. If dinner, homework, or another pickup follows, agree on the latest return time now so the rest of the evening still has room to move.
Common questions
Why might I not hear the alarm?
The tab may have been closed, the device may have slept or lost power, or audio may be muted, blocked, or routed to another speaker. Keep the page open, test browser permissions and volume, and use a separate dependable alarm if waking or meeting the time is critical.
Can I use the alarm as my signal to leave for a ferry or flight?
Yes, as a personal reminder, but it cannot see check-in requirements, queues, cancellations, Cook Strait wind, road closures, or delays on the way to the terminal. Confirm the operator's current advice and set the time with enough margin for the entire journey.
Is this alarm suitable for medicine, cooking, or safety checks?
It may be one reminder, but it cannot verify a dose, inspect food, or monitor a hazard. Follow the relevant instructions and supervise risks directly. Keep a reliable backup whenever a missed alert could affect health or safety, and check the device remains powered and audible.
Will the alarm sound if I switch to another tab?
It can, as long as the alarm page stays open and the browser continues running. Device sleep, a flat battery, silent mode, blocked browser audio, or Bluetooth connected elsewhere may prevent you hearing it. Test the tone first and use a second alarm for anything consequential.
