TimeAura is an expressive clock that helps you stay aware of time without repeatedly checking the screen. Choose a session, set an interval, and let gentle voice announcements or chimes bring time to you. TimeAura is ideal for focused work, meditation, bedside routines, reading, creative sessions, and everyday time awareness. FEATURES • Spoken time announcements while TimeAura is visible • Background reminder chimes when your device is locked or another app is open • Clock-aligned cues on quarter-hour, half-hour, and hourly boundaries • Curated system voice selection with instant previews • Ready-made presets and fully customizable sessions • Open-ended sessions that continue until you stop them • Six distinctive animated visual worlds • Beautiful portrait and landscape layouts • Designed for both iPhone and iPad • Display-awake mode for bedside and desk use • Adjustable brightness, volume, ambience, and announcement style • Scheduled reminders with quiet hours • Reliable session-completion alerts on supported devices CLOCK-ALIGNED TIME Choose a 15-minute interval to receive cues at quarter-hour marks, or select 30 minutes for cues on the hour and half-hour. TimeAura keeps the schedule aligned with the clock rather than when you started the session. SIX EXPRESSIVE WORLDS Transform your clock with Eclipse, Analog Atelier, Liquid Glass, Horizon, Nik-Blue, and Arn-Green. Each world offers its own visual character, motion, typography, and atmosphere. FOREGROUND AND BACKGROUND MODES While TimeAura is visible, it can deliver your selected voice and chime experience. When your device is locked, the app is in the background, or another app is open, iOS delivers scheduled notification chimes instead. PRIVATE BY DESIGN TimeAura requires no account, contains no advertising or analytics SDKs, and does not collect personal data. Your preferences and schedules remain on your device. TimeAura supports iPhone and iPad running iOS or iPadOS 15 and later. Newer system experiences are enabled automatically when supported by your device.
