How to use the online alarm clock
Prepare now at 12:40 am for a departure towards Hatta before daytime heat develops. There are 20 minutes until 1:00 am. Put water and bags into the vehicle, confirm fuel and open the route, leaving the final reminder to trigger departure rather than another round of packing.
Test the alarm while you can still correct a problem. Choose the tone, press Start, and listen from the doorway or parking preparation area. Check its actual speaker, not just the displayed volume. Keep the browser tab open and device awake; closing the page or allowing sleep mode prevents the signal completely.
Current UAE road, weather and access information matters more than a familiar route after midnight. Darkness can hide hazards, and an early start is useful only with an alert driver. Share the journey plan where appropriate, carry drinking water and resist using the 20-minute countdown as pressure to rush vehicle checks.
Common questions
Can I use the same feature on a phone?
You can use the page on a smartphone and follow the countdown until 12:40 am. 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 12:40 am 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 12:40 am 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.
Does closing the browser tab stop the alarm from ringing?
The page must remain open for the 12:40 am alarm to sound. Switching tabs, minimising the window, or using another application will not end it, but closing the alarm tab or quitting the browser will.
