BELFRY — real church bells that ring the hours, and meditation bells that quiet them. Bring the timeless sound of a village church, a grand cathedral and a quiet monastery into your day. Belfry strikes authentic, hand-recorded bells on the hour and the half hour — counting the hours the way real bell towers have for centuries — and keeps ringing even when the app is in the background. MEDITATION BELLS, FOR FOCUS AND CALM Begin a meditation or focus session and let a single, beautiful bell mark the start, the intervals and the end. Choose a soft crystal altar bell, a deep temple gong, or a slow monastery toll. Use the bells as a mindfulness reminder through the day, as an anchor for your breath, or as the last sound you hear before you sleep. TWELVE BEAUTIFUL VOICES A true parish Church Bell, the Great Bell of Westminster, a solemn Monastery tenor, a bright Crystal altar bell, a warm Harbour bell, a deep Tower Chime, a heavy Iron toll, a Grandfather clock and more — every one of them recorded from a real bell, not synthesised. PRAYER BELLS AND THE ANGELUS The eight canonical hours, or five times a day — the bells that have called people to prayer for a thousand years, ringing on your own schedule, in your own time zone. WORLD-FAMOUS PEALS The Westminster chime, a full cathedral peal, English change ringing and village church bells — the most beautiful bells in the world, on demand. A LIVING BELL TOWER Watch a bronze bell hang in a stone belfry beneath a sky that changes with your day — sunrise, golden dusk, a brilliant starfield, drifting clouds, the real moon in its true phase, and a night owl that comes to keep watch. Tap the bell any time to ring it yourself.
