Read full descriptionHide full description
Time Broadcast Assistant helps you stay aware of time without checking the clock over and over. Create a schedule with a start time, end time, and repeat interval. At each checkpoint, the app speaks the current time together with your own reminder, so it fits study sessions, work blocks, meeting prep, break timing, or getting ready to leave. Use it to: - keep a study or focus session moving - pace meetings, breaks, or household routines - hear a reminder before the next step in your day - build a repeatable rhythm for any fixed time window Current version features: - custom start time and end time - repeat intervals you can adjust to your routine - custom announcement text with the `{time}` placeholder - daily repeat or today-only mode - one-tap preview of the current announcement - a clear dashboard with current time, plan status, and next announcement - spoken announcements while the app is open - local notification support for reminders and a stop action from the Lock Screen Important notes: - foreground announcements use the system voice directly - when background announcements are enabled, the app keeps an active audio session so scheduled speech can continue after you minimize the app or lock the device - if the app is force-quit from the app switcher, background spoken announcements stop and only the local notification remains - background announcements can increase battery usage - no account, no required subscription, no ads, and no network connection required for core features Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://wonderfulsuccess.github.io/TimeBroadcast-site/privacy.html
