The moment a candle closesβ€” Are you still glancing at the corner of your screen to check the time? Market Rhythm is a countdown timer built for day traders, delivering candle close timing through sound, color, and vibration. Synced to NTP standard time, it never misses a second. [Sound familiar?] - Entered a trade right before the close, only to get reversed on the next candle - Kept checking the clock instead of analyzing the chart - Couldn't stop wondering "how many seconds left?" [Market Rhythm solves this] An analog clock on the left, a donut countdown timer on the right. Colors shift from teal to yellow to red as time runs out, with a pulsing heartbeat animation in the final 3 seconds. You'll always know "how many seconds left" from your peripheral visionβ€”without looking away from your charts. [Two Sound Modes] - Minimal: Tick-tick-tick...chime (subtle time signal) - Rhythm: Metronome + cymbal (feel the beat) [Key Features] - High-precision countdown synced to NTP - Real-time 1-minute and 5-minute candle close timer - Supports 10 major exchanges worldwide (TSE, NYSE, NASDAQ, LSE, HKEX, SSE, KRX, Xetra, ASX, BSE) - Independent sound and vibration toggles - Demo mode available outside market hours [Pro (Monthly Subscription)] - Switch freely between all market presets - 24/7 mode (for crypto and forex) - 3-min, 10-min, 15-min, and 60-min timeframes - No ads Lock in the rhythm of every candle close. Sharpen your edge. Terms of Use: https://marketrhythm.app/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://marketrhythm.app/privacy.html

BarClock tells you exactly when the current candle closes, and shouts before it does. It never touches a price feed. Candle boundaries are pure clock maths, so when you ask for a warning ten seconds out, you get it ten seconds out - on the M1 scalp and on the daily close alike. WHAT IT DOES - Live countdowns for M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4 and D1, with multiple timeframes visible together. - One or two alerts per candle, at offsets you choose before the close. - A full-screen chronometer ring when one alert is running, and a three-up stack when several are. - H4 and D1 anchored to your broker's GMT offset, not to UTC, so the daily close lands where your charts put it. - Ten built-in alert sounds, plus support for importing your own audio file. - Custom vibration patterns, a haptic tick through the final ten seconds, and a screen flash. - A spoken countdown through the final ten seconds. - London, New York, Tokyo and Sydney session open and close alerts. - Session and weekday filters to silence alerts outside the periods you trade. - Four themes: Trading Desk, Daylight, OLED Black and Terminal. BUILT FOR THE WAY TRADERS ACTUALLY WATCH Alerts arrive as Time Sensitive notifications, so they cut through a Focus mode. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. There is no login or price data, and the countdown itself works offline. BarClock is a timing tool. It gives no trading advice, holds no positions and sees no market data.
