The Time Is. Not a notification. Not an alarm. Not another app demanding your attention. Just time — spoken clearly, on your schedule, exactly the way you want it. The Time Is announces the hour and half-hour using real human voices and classic chimes. No robotic text-to-speech. No gimmicks. Just a clean, reliable reminder that keeps you anchored in your day without ever pulling you out of it. You set the rules. Choose which hours you want to hear. Skip the ones you don't. Pick a voice that feels right. Select a chime that doesn't make you flinch. Enable the half-hour chime when you need tighter awareness. Mute it all when you need silence. The app bends to your day — not the other way around. — VOICES — Multiple real human voices to choose from. Darren. Lamin. Lucy. Suzanne. Evan. Karen. Zoe. Pick the one that fits your vibe and let it ride. — CHIMES — 6 chime styles built for every mood and setting: · Air Plane — clean and modern · Big Ben — classic and commanding · Bright — cheerful and light · Fun — playful and upbeat · Cuckoo — charming and nostalgic · Grandfather — warm and timeless — HOURLY CONTROL — Full hour-by-hour selection. Enable every hour. Select just your work hours. Or dial it down to a handful of checkpoints that actually matter. Select All or Select None — total flexibility, zero friction. — HALF-HOUR CHIME — Need finer awareness between the hours? Turn on the half-hour chime and stay even more in tune with your day. — BUILT FOR REAL LIFE — The Time Is works completely offline. No internet connection required — ever. It runs quietly in the background, respects your focus, and never phones home. No data collection. No analytics. No tracking. What happens on your device stays on your device. — ONE-TIME PURCHASE — No subscriptions. No ads. No feature tiers. No paywalls hiding the good stuff. You buy it once and it's yours — fully featured, forever. That's the deal and it isn't changing. — VERSION 2 — This isn't a patch. It's a full rebuild from the ground up. Cleaner architecture, smoother experience, more voices, more chimes, and a level of polish that version 1 was just warming up for. If you used v1, you'll feel the difference immediately. — ONE MORE THING — For the curious, the adventurous, and the ones who like to poke around in the corners of an app... there are Easter eggs hidden in this version. Unlock them and you may just find yourself hearing the time announced in a language that doesn't exactly exist on this planet. Or one that predates most of the ones that do. We'll say no more. You'll know it when you find it. Built out of necessity. Designed with care. Yours to keep.
