Ding: Call Bell

Ding turns your iPhone or iPad into a loud, instant call bell. Tap the big bell and it rings — immediately, loudly, as many times as you tap. Hold it down and it keeps ringing until you let go. That's the whole app, and it's built to do that one job extremely well. Ding is free to use with two bells. An optional one-time Ding Pro unlock opens up everything else — no subscriptions, no ads, ever. Not sure? Tap any locked bell to hear it in full first. FREE The front desk bell and the counter bell, with haptics, volume boost and every setting. REAL BELL SOUND, SYNTHESISED ON DEVICE Every bell is synthesised from measured bell acoustics — no recordings, nothing downloaded. Strong partials beat and shimmer like real metal, the high frequencies die away faster than the low hum, and every tap varies subtly in strike, pitch and brightness, so repeated rings never sound machine-made. (Prefer a real recording? With Ding Pro you can record or import your own.) BUILT TO BE HEARD • Rings through the silent switch by default — a call bell you have to unmute isn't a call bell (you can turn this off in Settings) • Volume boost stage tuned for the iPhone speaker, on by default • Rings on touch-down, not touch-up, so there is no perceptible lag • Rapid taps overlap naturally, up to twelve bells at once • Keeps ringing if the screen locks mid-ring DING PRO — ONE PURCHASE, YOURS FOR GOOD • Ten more classic bells: bicycle, school, church, ship's, boxing, cowbell, dinner triangle, gong, doorbell and alarm bell — each with its own hand-drawn illustration and distinct sound • Game Show pack: Buzzer, Wrong Answer and Correct! — with a press-and-hold buzzer you can feel through haptics • Party pack: referee whistle, siren and train whistle • Custom bells: build up to 20 of your own. Pick any of the eighteen looks and a colour, then retune a built-in sound (pitch, decay, brightness, strike), record up to five seconds with the microphone, or import an audio file. Recordings are trimmed, levelled and humanised like the built-in bells, and never leave your device. • Every future sound pack, included • Shareable with your Family Sharing group Already bought Pro? Tap Restore Purchases on the Pro screen. TIP JAR An optional $0.99 tip, if you'd like to say thanks. It unlocks nothing — every feature is in the free app or Ding Pro. A GOOD HOUSE GUEST • No subscriptions, no ads, no accounts, no analytics • Collects nothing; the only optional permission is the microphone, used solely when you record a custom bell • Works offline — Pro included USES Front desks and reception counters, calling the family to dinner, boxing rounds, quiz nights, getting a classroom's attention, a simple way to call for help across the house — or just the small joy of a really good bell. Settings let you choose whether the bell respects the silent switch, play through a connected speaker instead of the built-in one, toggle haptics, and keep the screen awake while the phone sits on a counter.
