Been looking for something like this forever. The app I subconsciously knew I needed!!

Great! This should be paid but thanks for the generosity of the inventor and maker!

Does not run in background.

Simple test. Make a chime with 1 second interval to run for 1 minute. While app is on screen it chimes every second. Hit IPhone Home button to put app background. It stops chiming, until you bring it to the foreground again.

Love it! but wish it was apple watch compatible

Love it! but wish it was apple watch compatible I’d use it when I’m outside working out and don’t carry my phone.

Works perfectly!

Set timer to chime at intervals for a certain amount of time. Example: Chime every minute for five minutes. It would be even greater to be able to set different intervals. Chime at 1 min and then after 2 mins and the 1.5 mins, etc.

Needs one fix

I like this App but at some point it must have changed bc unless I leave it open and onscreen it sets the timer back to the start, not running. So on a run w set chime to alternate walking and running, it works great until I switch screens to see a text or change the music. Once I do that, the chimes stop coming, even w it open in the background, and when I get back to that screen I have to start it all over. Totally messes up the timing.

The best

I use these everyday. My iPad timer and alarm on the Apple clock app are always set on the same daily schedule, so these chimes are great for other matters. They work perfectly.

Super simple, love it

It's a great repeating timer... set it for every 20 minutes for 3 hours or every 3 minutes for 14 hours... whatever you need. No resetting, or worse, no FORGETTING to reset. I use it when I'm reading or playing a game to remind myself to get up and move occasionally.
***update a couple of years later: I STILL love it. Best timer of all time! Thank you so much for making this.

Exercise

I have used chimes in the past to complete timely tasks. Right now I’m using the computer more and need to get up and move every 45 minutes. It’s important to keep me circulation going. I do some leg lifts, marching and arm swirls just to engage my whole body. Also I do some gentle neck exercises. Thanks to chimes it’s a good reminder method!

Barely of any use

I wanted a chime to remind me to do something every 2 hours - I couldn't get this thing to ever do it more than once. I would have tried harder to figure it out, but it also doesn't have a schedule - so even if it did work, it would be chilling in the middle of the night. Poor interface too. All around bad.

Great for meditating

This app is perfect for meditating! I prefer to meditate without any technological β€œguide” and wanted a simple non-jarring prompt when the session was over that did not require any engagement from me. This app works perfectly! Thank you! : )
