How to use the online alarm clock
As you hand the Singapore call to the colleague taking over, set the alarm for 1:25 pm so the changeover does not bury the timing. It is midday in Dubai but already evening in Singapore, so a prompt can keep both sides aligned without making the other team wait. There are still 35 minutes before 2:00 pm, leaving room to pass across the contact details, agenda and any points that need an answer.
The sound should suit wherever the handover is happening. A gentle tone works when the phone is beside you in a quiet office, while a more persistent alert makes sense around conversation, air conditioning or a busy shared workspace. Keep the volume high enough to notice without startling everyone nearby. If you leave this page or let the phone sleep, the Singapore call may pass without any sound, so use a separate phone alarm when the reminder cannot be missed.
Once the call is assigned, look at what follows it that afternoon rather than treating 1:25 pm as an isolated interruption. Keep a small buffer before the next meeting, school pickup or journey across Dubai, and give the colleague a clear point for returning urgent notes. That protects the remaining daylight schedule from a call that runs beyond its planned finish.
Common questions
Will this page still work when opened on my handset?
It works through the browser on a phone, whether you are checking 1:25 pm at home or while commuting in Dubai. Mobile devices are quick to pause tabs when the screen is locked, however, so the alarm might not sound; use a desktop or a laptop connected to power for an important event.
Can I use the same feature on a phone?
You can use the page on a smartphone and follow the countdown until 1:25 pm. The browser may lose permission to stay active once the phone locks or another app takes over, which can suppress the audio, so a mains-powered desktop or laptop is the more reliable choice when the reminder is important.
Will the alarm still sound after I close this tab?
No. An alarm set for 1:25 pm runs within the open webpage, so closing its tab or exiting the browser stops it. You can move to another tab or minimise the browser while you work; just keep the alarm page loaded.
If I close the tab, will the alarm still go off?
Closing the tab cancels the alarm because the timer for 1:25 pm is handled by that page, not by your device as a separate system alarm. Leaving the page open in the background is fine, even if another tab is on screen.
