Bip Hora – Hourly Chime

Bip Hora marks the passing of time the way you prefer: a short sound, a voice speaking the time, a discreet vibration, or a card on the screen. You combine them however you like. It works with the app closed, and keeps working after you restart the phone. TWO WAYS TO BE REMINDED Chime - on a cadence. Every hour, every 30 minutes, every 5 minutes. Within the time range you set, and only on the weekdays you choose. Alarms - at fixed times. At 07:30, at 12:00, at 18:45. As many times as you want, on the days you want. THE VOICE GETS IT RIGHT "It is five forty-five in the afternoon." The app spells the numbers out as words instead of handing "17:45" to the synthesizer, which is how you end up hearing "seventeen colon forty-five". It knows midnight and noon by name, and says "five oh five" the way a person would. The same care went into all three languages it speaks. It can also say the name you gave the reminder. Or just the name, without the time. FIVE SOUNDS OF ITS OWN Bell, Ding, Block, Chime and Drop. Each one can repeat from one to five times. If you prefer, use any notification sound already on your phone. IT KNOWS WHEN TO STAY QUIET Bip Hora reads the state of the phone and goes silent on its own while you are on a call or recording audio, so the reminder never lands inside your voice message. If you want, it can also stay quiet while music is playing, while headphones are connected, or while the screen is off. You decide which of those rules apply. BUILT NOT TO FAIL A reminder that does not ring is worth nothing. So the app detects the Android battery restrictions and takes you straight to the right settings screen to fix them, instead of writing "turn off battery saver" here and hoping. WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR A sense of time passing during work or study. A nudge to drink water. Time to get out of the chair and stretch. Focus blocks. Or simply the old pleasure of a clock that chimes on the hour. ALSO INCLUDED Light and dark theme, following your phone. English, Portuguese and Spanish. Settings backup to a file, to change phones without setting everything up again. 1.4 MB download. No ads. PRIVACY Bip Hora collects nothing. No sign-up, no login, no advertising identifier, and it sends no information anywhere. The only thing that uses the internet is the PRO purchase, handled entirely by Google Play. The app asks the store whether an active purchase exists and keeps the answer on your phone - it never sees payment details. Your settings stay on your phone.
