Travel Reminder
Travel compresses dozens of micro-deadlines - online check-in opens 24 hours before, hotel checkout 11 AM, train 14:06 exactly, return rental with fuel. Travel reminders on the trip laptop survive when roaming makes phone notifications unreliable.
Label time zone in text after flights: "9 AM LOCAL call hotel." Stack check-in alarm evening before departure, leave-for-airport alarm with traffic buffer, boarding pass screenshot reminder. One-time dominates irregular trips; disable entire travel group after return to avoid jet-lag confusion next month. Sound digital for airport hard stops; chime for leisurely hotel checkout prep. Travel reminders do not book tickets - they prevent you holding tickets while missing the plane. Photograph confirmations in notes; alarms trigger action. Pair with event-reminder for concerts on vacation separate from logistics. Update all times when airline rebooks - you are responsible for editing alarms to match new itinerary, and emailing yourself a plain list of armed travel alarms before departure creates a backup if the laptop sleeps on the plane. Pin the airline app beside the browser tab so rebook edits happen in one sitting. Cruise and resort trips still need port-day alarms; shore excursion meet times are as easy to miss as.

- Timer seems paused in another tab: Keep the Travel Reminder tab visible for critical sessions, or install TimerClock as a PWA for better background behavior.
- Wrong time shown: Check the device clock and timezone. World and countdown tools also depend on the target zone you selected.
- Settings disappeared: Preferences are stored locally in this browser. Clearing site data removes saved alarms, themes, and recent durations.
- Alarm did not fire: Browser alarms need an open tab or installed PWA. Do not rely on them alone for medical or safety-critical wake-ups.
