Chime Machine vs Voice Clock

A simple app that rings a chime at the same time each day. And yet, within that sound lies a gentle reminder: time is passing. That sound—sometimes bright, sometimes soft—reaches you in the flow of your day. No need to check the clock; it becomes a quiet pause, inviting you to notice the moment and breathe. Core features (free): ・Hear a chime at your chosen daily time ・Automatic playback via notifications, even without opening the app ・No ads, clean and minimal design Chime Machine Pro (paid subscription) unlocks more possibilities: ・Set multiple custom chimes at any time you like ・Choose from a variety of traditional bells and gentle tones ・Shape your own rhythm to match the way you live Time always flows quietly, whether we notice it or not. Each chime becomes a small anchor in the day. Chime Machine helps you treasure those moments— so your time feels more your own. How it fits into your day ・A gentle chime to start each morning ・A daily cue to take a mindful breath at the same time ・A signal to wrap up work or study sessions ・A rhythm for afternoon tea or coffee time ・A reminder to step outside for an evening walk ・A bedtime chime to mark the end of the day The same sound, at the same time, becomes a quiet rhythm that grounds your day. ----- Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://chime-machine.moonxseed.com/privacy-policy/

Voice Clock says the time out loud, on a schedule you choose — and keeps working when the app is closed. Most talking clocks stop after a few days. Voice Clock is built on iOS 26's alarm system, so announcements survive a force-quit and a reboot. If anything goes wrong, it tells you before you notice, and why. ANNOUNCE THE TIME, YOUR WAY • On the hour, or every 30, 15, 10 or 5 minutes • Custom minute and second intervals, down to five seconds • A five-minute heads-up before each announcement • Active hours, quiet hours and per-weekday rules • Four ways to say it, from "It's quarter past three" to "Three fifteen" • Write your own phrase: "Hey — it's {time}. {message}" TWENTY-SIX CLOCK FACES — SWIPE TO CHANGE Swipe left or right on the clock to try another, or tap See all to browse the set by theme. The default, Tidal Dial, is a 24-hour dial where every brass tick is a moment it will speak.
