Use the hour and half hour to follow a shared schedule

On a call or in a quiet coworking group, each participant can select the :00/:30 start mode. Work runs from :00 to :25 and :30 to :55 each hour, with five-minute breaks in between. People joining partway through can see the current phase and remaining time.

Enable the ten-second advance notification to announce a change just before the boundary. The devices do not synchronize through a network connection; each person needs to choose the same mode.
