Lock screen reminders
Chimes can sound through local notifications, so the reminder is not tied to an open app screen.
iPhone hourly reminder
iPhone hourly reminder that can chime from the lock screen
Chimebird is built for people who want an hourly reminder without managing a pile of alarms. Set the cadence once, close the app, and let local notifications handle the recurring cue.
Why it fits this use case
A focused chime workflow is easier to keep than another busy timer or alarm setup.
Clean notification setup
Guided setup helps keep sound while reducing visible banner clutter.
More than hourly when needed
Hourly chimes are free; Pro adds 15 and 30-minute intervals plus voice packs.
