Spoken time without checking the clock
A short voice cue can say the time while you keep reading, coding, cooking, or studying.
Speaking time reminders
Voice time announcements that do not break focus
When a tone is too vague and an alarm is too disruptive, a short voice time announcement can tell you exactly where the day is. Chimebird adds spoken time chimes to your iPhone with multilingual voice packs and quiet lock screen reminders.
Why it fits this use case
A focused chime workflow is easier to keep than another busy timer or alarm setup.
10 languages and two voice styles
Pro includes English, Mandarin Chinese, Korean, Japanese, German, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and Dutch voice packs.
Runs as iPhone notifications
Voice chimes are scheduled through local notifications, so they can work from the lock screen without leaving the app open.
How to use it

Choose voice instead of a tone

2
Select the cadence
Use hourly voice announcements for a calm rhythm, or unlock 15 and 30-minute intervals for stronger time awareness.
3
Keep banners quiet if needed
Use guided notification setup to keep sound enabled while reducing visible notification clutter.
