What's New in Chimebird

1.2

July 15, 2026

Chimes gone quiet? The new Chime Self-Test finds the cause in 15 seconds — plus real-volume previews and new 10-minute intervals for Pro. NEW • Chime Self-Test: sends you a real test chime and pinpoints exactly what silenced it — permissions, Focus, Silent mode, or volume. • Real-volume preview: hear your chime at its true notification volume (Ringer & Alerts), not the media volume. • Silent mode alert: if the Ring/Silent switch is muting your chimes, you'll see it right on the home screen. • 10-minute intervals (Pro): a chime every 10 minutes, with six customizable slots per hour. IMPROVED • Several chime sounds are now louder and more consistent across themes. • Clear, specific guidance when Background App Refresh is off or Low Power Mode is on — including exactly when chimes would stop. • If chimes were ever interrupted, the app now tells you what happened and why.

User reviews

Great for keeping track of time

Really useful for staying aware of time without constantly checking my phone. I like using the 30-minute chimes during focused work, and the sound-only mode is especially nice because it doesn’t clutter my lock screen with notifications. The sounds feel thoughtfully chosen, and the app is simple enough that it just fits into my day.

Does not work on Apple Watch

After downloading the app to try it out and contemplating purchasing it, I found that the settings included instructions for Apple Watch compatibility. However, I was unable to get it to function properly. I contacted the developers three times via email for help, but to no avail. Checking the website, I discovered it does not support the Apple Watch. I removed the app and left a review, highlighting this discrepancy between the app's claims and the website's information.

Response from developer

I’m very sorry for the delayed reply. Due to a technical issue with my email, I only just saw your message. To clarify: Chime Birds currently does not have a standalone Apple Watch app, and Apple Watch support is not a Pro-only feature. At the moment, Chime Birds is focused on iPhone chimes.
