Get started with Chime

Chime is a small menu bar app that plays a gentle reminder as time passes.

1. Download Chime from the Mac App Store. Check the listing for current macOS requirements.
2. Open Chime and click the bell icon in your Mac’s menu bar.
3. Check that chimes are enabled and adjust the volume.
4. Leave Chime running. Chimes follow clock boundaries, rather than counting an hour from when you opened the app.

Free and Pro

Free gives you the hourly Bell. Pro adds more sounds, intervals and quiet hours. Pro is a one-off purchase through the Mac App Store; you don’t need a Coldflint account.

I didn’t hear a chime

Check Chime’s volume as well as your Mac’s volume and selected sound output. Check whether Silence during Focus is enabled and a Focus mode is active. If you use Pro quiet hours, check their start and end times too.

If you’ve just opened Chime, check the countdown for the next scheduled chime.

To recover Pro, choose Restore purchases with the Apple Account that made the purchase. For other problems, contact us with your Chime and macOS versions.
