Quarter-hour chime

15-minute chime for focus blocks and time awareness

A 15-minute chime gives the day a light pulse without turning every reminder into an alarm. Start with the free browser timer, then use Chimebird on iPhone when you need the same cue from the lock screen.

Why it fits this use case

A focused chime workflow is easier to keep than another busy timer or alarm setup.

A clear quarter-hour rhythm

Use the chime as a gentle marker for focus blocks, stretching, study, or any routine where 15 minutes matters.

No account or install required

The web timer can run in the browser as long as the tab stays open and audio is allowed.

Lock screen option on iPhone

When you need the cue away from the browser, Chimebird schedules local notifications ahead of time.

How to use it

1

Open the browser timer

Choose the 15-minute interval and pick a sound that is noticeable without being disruptive.

2

Keep the tab open

Browser audio needs an active tab, so leave the page available while you work.

3

Install the app for background reminders

Use the iPhone app when you want quarter-hour reminders on the lock screen.

Frequently asked questions

Can I set a chime every 15 minutes?

Yes. The browser timer supports a 15-minute chime, and Chimebird Pro supports 15-minute iPhone reminders.

Is a 15-minute chime the same as a Pomodoro timer?

Not exactly. A chime is a repeating time cue, while a Pomodoro timer usually requires starting and stopping sessions.

Will the online chime work after I close the tab?

No. Use the iPhone app if you need reminders after closing the browser.

Can I use voice announcements every 15 minutes?

Yes. Chimebird Pro includes 15-minute intervals and voice time announcement options.
