Stay aware of time

Schedules you can switch on and off as a set.

ChimeSet lets you build reusable groups of alarms for work routines, classes, presentations, Pomodoro sessions, hourly checks, and recurring checkpoints. Keep the next alert visible, hear the time spoken aloud, and control each schedule without digging through one-off reminders.
