Lose track of time while working or studying? Caynax Hourly Chime brings you back to the moment with a familiar hourly signal—without making you check the clock. • Choose the days and hours you want a chime; create an easy rhythm for focus sessions, short breaks and everyday routines. • Get audible signals and background notifications. Set up a simple hourly alert instead of another full alarm. • Use the time cue to remember to stretch, drink water, switch tasks or wind down. Notifications depend on your device settings. A CLOCK CUE FOR THE WAY YOU LIVE A clock on your phone can tell you the time, but checking it often leads to another distraction. An hourly signal is different: it gives you a small checkpoint while you keep reading, writing, creating, cooking, or taking care of everyday tasks. You decide when that interruption is useful. Use chimes during work hours, select particular weekdays, and leave quieter parts of the week alone. BUILD A ROUTINE WITHOUT MORE ALARMS A chime can mark the end of a study hour, remind you to move after sitting at a desk, or prompt a quick check of your next task. It's also a helpful cue when you tend to lose track of time during long periods of concentration. You don't have to treat every signal as a deadline. Sometimes hearing that another hour has passed is all you need to reset your attention and choose what to do next. KEEP YOUR CHIMES ORGANIZED Create settings for different parts of your day instead of relying on one generic alarm. Duplicate a chime setup with a swipe, then adjust it for another situation. Sort your chimes by time or by name, and find deleted items in the Trash view. With PRO, choose the precise minute and second for a cue, have the clock say the time or a phrase you wrote, use your own sound, or add a chime at sunrise or sunset. ALERTS ON YOUR TERMS Chimes use iOS notifications and sound behavior. What you actually hear depends on notification permission, volume, Focus or Silent settings, and the available system voices. This app is intended for everyday time awareness, not as a guaranteed alarm for urgent or medical events. Free features cover basic time chimes. PRO unlocks spoken time and your own text-to-speech messages, custom alert sounds, minute-and-second timing and sunrise/sunset chimes. PRO removes ads and is available through a subscription or a one-time purchase. Removing ads alone is a separate purchase and does not unlock PRO. Make your day easier to follow, one chime at a time.

Where did your hours go today? Most of our days slip away unnoticed - lost in mindless scrolling, fragmented routines, and forgotten hours. When you reach the evening, it feels like the day vanished before you even had a chance to live it. Fullest changes that. Fullest is an intentional interval timer and daily timeline companion designed to bring gentle awareness back to your day. Every 15 minutes (or 30, 45, 60 minutes, or custom intervals), a soothing chime sounds, inviting you to take a mindful pause: "What did you just do?" Log your moment in 3 seconds, see your day fill up with meaning, and live with complete intention. THE POWER OF THE 15-MINUTE RHYTHM Why 15 minutes? One hour is too long - by the time an hour passes, you can lose 45 minutes to an algorithm without realizing it. A gentle 15-minute pulse is the golden interval: short enough to catch you before you fall into a trance, yet spacious enough to sink into deep, conscious living. (Prefer longer stretches? Switch to 30, 45, or 60 minutes with a single tap). WHY FULLEST WORKS 1. GENTLE 15-MINUTE INTERVAL CHIMES Choose your rhythm - every 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes, or custom intervals. A discreet audio chime or haptic pulse gently brings you back to reality without shocking or stressing you. 2. 3-SECOND EFFORTLESS CHECK-INS No tedious time sheets or complex forms. When the chime sounds, tap what you did, snap an optional proof photo, and carry on. It takes less than 3 seconds. 3. YOUR VISUAL DAILY TIMELINE Watch your day unfold interval by interval. Fullest transforms your routine into a clean, chronological visual diary of your life. At the end of the day, you see exactly how your life was spent. 4. BREAK THE DOOMSCROLL CYCLE When hours disappear into social media algorithms, Fullest acts as your subconscious pattern interrupt. The moment the 15-minute bell rings, the trance is broken. 5. INTENTIONAL STREAKS & TIME AWARENESS Track your daily check-in consistency. When every moment is accounted for, you naturally make better choices - spending more time on what truly matters: your passions, loved ones, health, and peace of mind. 6. PRIVATE, CLEAN, AND BEAUTIFUL - Zero ads. Zero trackers. - No clutter or complex dashboards. - Minimalist aesthetic crafted for calm, modern living. - Offline first with seamless cloud backup.
