HRLY (Hourly) is a minimalist hourly chime app designed to help you keep track of time without constantly checking your phone. It uses a simple system of long and short tones to signify the hour, running quietly in the background.
The app uses a combination of two sounds to represent the time:
| Tone Length | Time |
|---|---|
| Short | 1 Hour |
| Long | 5 Hours |
These tones compound to announce the current hour. For example, 7:00 will be announced with one long tone and two short tones.
- Simple Time System: Long and short tones compound to count out the hour.
- Chime Modes: Pick Sound, Vibrate, or Both, with vibration length matched to each tone.
- Play in Silent or Vibrate: Optionally keep the chime audible even when the ringer is silenced or on vibrate (Do Not Disturb is still respected).
- Single Chime: Play one tone each hour instead of counting the hour.
- Custom Sounds: Use your own audio files for the short and long tones, and trim them to length.
- Custom Timing: Adjust the gap between tones.
- Quiet Hours: Pause chimes during a time range you set.
- Notification Controls: Skip the next chime, pause, or stop the service from the notification, or minimize it.
- Background Service: Runs efficiently in the background to chime on the hour.
- Minimalist Design: A clean, no-frills interface.
- Open Source: Licensed under the GNU GPLv3.
