How to use the online alarm clock
As you hand the remaining work to someone else, set the 8:46 am alarm to mark your departure for the two-hour drive to the site in Ras Al Khaimah. It gives you a clear cutoff for the handover while leaving a short window before 9:00 am to collect the keys, documents and anything needed on arrival.
Before the Ras Al Khaimah journey begins, check where your phone or computer is sending its audio. Wireless headphones can stay connected inside a bag or on a desk, making the alarm difficult to hear even when the screen shows it ringing. Play a quick test sound, select the intended speaker and set a level that is audible from where you are finishing the handover. The alarm will not sound if the browser is no longer running or the system goes to sleep, which could delay departure for the site.
Since other people may still be at home at 8:46 am, keep the alarm close enough to hear without filling every room. A moderate tone beside your keys can signal that it is time to leave while limiting disruption to anyone sleeping, working remotely or getting children ready. Prepare the bag and shoes beforehand so the alarm marks one quiet transition rather than the start of several noisy searches.
Common questions
Will my alarm work once I have closed the tab?
No, closing the page stops the alarm rather than leaving it active in the background. For an alert at 8:46 am, keep that particular tab open; it can sit behind other tabs or inside a minimised browser window.
Does the tab need to stay open for the alarm?
Your device will not take over the alarm after the webpage closes. The tab containing the alarm for 8:46 am needs to stay loaded until it rings, although you are free to switch windows, check another site, or minimise the browser.
After closing this tab, can I still hear the alarm?
If you close the tab before 8:46 am, 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 8:46 am alert from sounding. Keeping the page open is enough; it can remain in a background tab while you do something else.
