Belfry gives your day a sound. Every hour, a bell rings — deep and unhurried, from a tower on your screen where the sky matches the sky outside your window. You can leave it at that. Many people do: a beautiful clock that marks the hours while they work, cook, study or rest. Quiet at night, unless you ask otherwise. But there's more in here than an hour bell. NINETEEN BELLS, EACH ITS OWN VOICE A great cathedral bell. Big Ben. A monastery. A singing bowl. A gong. A brass ship's bell, a chapel handbell, a school bell, a cowbell, a cuckoo clock. Every one made with care, and every one rings differently at one o'clock than at noon. YOUR OWN SKY The sun and moon cross the arch at the right height for where you are. Stars come out at your dusk, clouds drift, and the light in the tower changes as your day does. Nothing to set up, and it never asks for your location. THE HOURS, HOWEVER YOU LIKE THEM Ring on the hour, the half or the quarter. Westminster quarters. A single stroke or a full count. Quiet hours so nothing sounds while you sleep. Prayer bells for the canonical hours, if you keep them. AND A TOWER TO KEEP Tap the arch and you may find a way in. There's a bellfounder living under the bells, a cat who rings them when he can't, a workshop where eight bells are cast one at a time, seasons, visitors, hidden prizes and a band in the cellar who play when you've earned the party. Play it for years or never open it at all — the bells ring either way. 21 LANGUAGES English, Deutsch, Français, Español, Português, Italiano, Nederlands, Svenska, Norsk, Dansk, Suomi, Polski, Ελληνικά, Türkçe, Русский, العربية, עברית, 日本語, 한국어, 简体中文 and 繁體中文.

Each hour opens with a little spooky scene (a creaking door, an owl at the window, bats in the belfry, a wolf moon, a haunted organ…), then a music box counts the hour. It runs October 1–31, and your regular program comes back on November 1 with nothing to reset. - Eight programs now ring around the clock: Manifestation, Chakra Bells, Island Time, Soft Singing Bowls, Wind Chimes, Grandfather Clock, The Harbor and Power-Ups. Every hour strikes its true count, from one at 1:00 to twelve at noon and midnight. Night hours stay silent during your quiet hours, or ring all 24 if you turn quiet hours off. - A tidier program list. Rows are more compact and sorted by time of day, under Overnight, Morning, Afternoon and Evening. - The Grandfather Clock bell is cleaner. Same warm tone, now a single steady ring with no wavering. - Faster, lighter scheduling in the background. ### 1.41 — 2026-10-10 All Hallows has come to the belfry. Through October the harvest gathers at the arch: pumpkins, a skeleton keeper on his hay bale, and after dark, will-o'-the-wisps drifting across the night sky. On the last nights of the month, watch for the White Lady. She passes only once. BELFRY now fills your iPad, with a bigger tower, bigger bells and bigger menus. Your tower is safer than ever, and you can now bring it back from an earlier day in Settings. ### 1.40 — 2026-10-05 Every prayer, start to finish. Every bell, rung out to its last note. PRAYERS THAT PLAY IN FULL Your prayers now play from the first note to the last, every time. Minimise the app, lock your phone, switch tabs or put it in your pocket, and the prayer carries on exactly as it began, at the same volume, without a break. The long ones, from the 28-second Tideflow to the 98-second Manifestation journeys, now play to the end. BELLS THAT RING OUT A real bell keeps singing after it's struck, and now so does Belfry's. Leave the app mid-hour and the bell keeps ringing as it fades. CLEANER, SOFTER STARTS Every one of the 104 prayer recordings has been listened through and checked. The Singing Bowls and Power-Ups now open as gently as the rest, with no click. KNOW WHAT YOU'RE HEARING Choose a free bell and a small note tells you what it's tuned to. The Monastery and Atlantis bells ring at 528 Hz, the love frequency. The Church bell's overtone sits at exactly twice 396 Hz. Big Ben is tuned to concert pitch, A = 440. THIRTEEN WAYS TO RING THE DAY Pick a programme and the tower keeps it for you, each sound at its own time, each ending on the true hour. - Manifestation: one long, clear meditation bell in three breaths, with a 40 Hz shimmer and a different journey every hour - Wind Chimes: real chimes in a passing breeze, then the hour on a deep tube - Island Time: a reggae melody, then the hour on a steel drum - Grandfather Clock: a warm hall clock, four notes, then the hour - The Harbor: a foghorn in the mist, then a clear harbor bell counts the hour - The BEL 9000: the ship's computer tells you the time, frankly, then chimes it - Power-Ups: bright 8-bit power-ups, then the hour on ringing chimes - Chakra Bells and Soft Singing Bowls, for stillness - Traditional, The Angelus & Rosary, The Five Prayers, and Shabbat & the Hours, for those who keep them. The Five Prayers and Shabbat follow your own sunrise and sunset. NINETEEN BELLS, EACH WITH ITS OWN VOICE A great cathedral bell. Big Ben. A monastery. A singing bowl, a gong, a brass ship's bell, a chapel handbell, a school bell, a cowbell, a cuckoo clock. Ring on the hour, the half or the quarter, with Westminster quarters, a single stroke or a full count. YOUR OWN SKY The sun and moon cross the arch at the right height for where you are. Stars come out at your dusk and the light in the tower changes as your day does. QUIET WHEN YOU SLEEP Set your quiet hours and nothing rings, prayers included, until morning. A TOWER TO EXPLORE Tap the arch and you may find a way in: a bellfounder under the bells, a cat who rings them when he can't, a workshop, seasons, visitors and hidden prizes. No ads. No subscription. No account. Just the hours, beautifully rung. ## Apps similar to Belfry | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [IVDD Recovery](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ivdd-recovery/id6794209498) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [Analog Clock Widget Store](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/analog-clock-widget-store/id6812444988) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [Crystal Scanner – Oracle](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/crystal-scanner-oracle/id6757306816) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [Eastodox](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/eastodox/id6815110293) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [Magnificat](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/magnificat/id6756869420) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Lifestyle | | [prayer pause: focus on God](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/prayer-pause-focus-on-god/id6758054860) | 4.3 (3) | Free | Lifestyle | ## More apps by Adam Dell - [Ships Clock Maritime Bells](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ships-clock-maritime-bells/id6763017085) - [Dream Machine Binaural Beats](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dream-machine-binaural-beats/id6788525960) All apps by Adam Dell: https://appshunter.io/developer/1895122720 ## Related topics [belfry](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/belfry) · [angelus bell](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/angelus-bell) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
