Description
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.
✨ Features
- Simple Time System: Easily learn the time-telling system.
- Customizable Sounds: Use your own audio files for both the short and long tones.
- Notification Controls: Skip the next chime or stop the service directly from the notification.
- Background Service: Runs efficiently in the background to chime on the hour.
- Optional Visual Pulse: An optional visual pulse can accompany the chime on the lock screen. (Still working out some kinks)
- User Control: Easily enable or disable the main chime service, visuals, and custom sounds.
- Minimalist Design: A clean, no-frills interface.
- Open Source: A "View Source" button provides a quick link to the project's GitHub page.
What’s new (1.81)
- Chimes can now be heard during Do Not Disturb. If you have already allowed HRLY through it in Android's settings, it will be heard from now on. If your device does not offer that, the new "Ignore Do Not Disturb" toggle does the same.
- Custom sounds now play for their full length. Longer ones were cut off after half a second, which shortened the vibration too. Trimming still shortens a sound on purpose.
- Quiet Hours and pausing still silence chimes either way.
