ClockChime is more than an hourly chime — it's a talking desk clock and a focus companion for your bedside, desk and workspace. Built natively in SwiftUI: instant to launch, feather-light on battery, and completely offline. Every hour, a clear voice tells you the time, so you never have to pick up your phone to know what it is. ◆ 18 FULL-SCREEN CLOCK FACES • Flip Clock with authentic split-flap animation and satisfying tick sounds • Calendar Wall with bold oversized date typography • Halo and LED — a focus progress ring and retro fluorescent digits • Seven analog dials: railway, index, minimal, crosshair, sector, grid and hairline • Five typographic faces: vertical, split, offset, stencil and broadsheet • Scale Lab — read the time on a ruler and a vernier caliper • Works in portrait and landscape, with an always-on option that turns your device into a bedside clock ◆ FOCUS TIMER & NATURE SOUNDS • Set any duration and watch the countdown live on the clock face • Six soothing nature soundscapes: rain, ocean waves, wind, stream, birdsong and crickets • A completion chime and an end notification — never lose track, even if you leave the app ◆ CHIMES, DOWN TO EVERY DETAIL • All 24 hours individually switchable — hourly chimes are free forever • Half-hour chimes for tighter time awareness • Native iOS text-to-speech with selectable premium voices: crisp and instant • Automatically muted in silent mode or during calls — respectful in meetings and at night • Choose the weekdays you want chimes to be active ◆ CUSTOM ALERTS THAT SPEAK • Set a personal reminder to be announced as spoken text, a system voice, a chosen sound, or even your own recorded voice ◆ SHAKE TO TELL THE TIME Give your phone a gentle shake and hear the current time — no screen required. ◆ PURE NATIVE PERFORMANCE • Written in SwiftUI, not a wrapped web page — fast launch, buttery animation • Tiny memory footprint; background scheduling keeps chimes alive on the lock screen • Fully supports Dark Mode, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver — a genuine talking clock for low-vision users • Interface and voice available in 12 languages ◆ FREE VS UNLOCK ALL FEATURES Free forever: hourly voice chime, smart mute, weekday scheduling, plus the Flip and Calendar Wall faces. One-time purchase unlocks: half-hour chimes, shake-to-tell, custom alerts, premium voices, the other 16 clock faces, flip themes (including your own photo), tick sounds, and the focus timer with nature soundscapes. No subscription. No hidden fees. No ads. No sign-in required. Restore purchases anytime. Perfect for study sessions, pomodoro work blocks, bedside timekeeping, kitchen timers and shop displays. Download ClockChime and give time a warm voice.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 老年报时 at none against ClockChime's 1. ClockChime's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
