Cullen GallagherHi everyone,
Today I’m excited to share something that’s been bringing me a lot of joy over the past few months, my new Mac app, ChimeKeeper!
I’ve always loved chiming clocks. They’re a gentle, calming way to stay aware of the time, especially while working. And I’ve long felt that your computer, the place where so much of your day happens, is the perfect home for that experience.
There have been other Mac apps that try to do this, but I was never satisfied with the audio quality, so I decided to build my own.
ChimeKeeper brings the sound of a traditional chiming clock to your Mac, right from your menu bar. It quietly marks the hours and quarter hours, then fades into the background, just like a real clock.
Some of my favorite features:
Built-in Westminster chime: rich, high-quality recordings (not computer-generated or MIDI)
Custom sound packs: use your own WAV files to recreate your favorite clock
Quiet hours, set times when chimes won’t play
Flexible controls, toggle hourly and quarter-hour chimes independently
And of course, the app is fully accessible with VoiceOver.
ChimeKeeper is available now on the Mac App Store for $4.99, and I’d love for you to check it out.
I’ve been using this every day over the past few months and absolutely love it, and honestly, I can’t remember the last time I ran one of my physical clocks. I hope you’ll enjoy it too.
