Apple Watch has hourly Chimes. Your Mac does not. Bird Chimes brings that gentle cue to your menu bar, using real bird calls instead of a tone.
Apple Watch has a Chimes feature that taps you gently at the top of every hour. Your Mac has nothing like it. The closest built-in option reads the clock aloud in a synthetic voice.
Bird Chimes fills that gap. Every hour, a real bird call plays softly from your menu bar. No numbers, no alarm, no jolt. Just a calm, natural marker that a little more time has passed.
FEATURES
- 18 real bird recordings, played at random, so two hours rarely sound the same
- Custom intervals: every hour, every 30 minutes, or every 15
- Focus integration: chimes hold while a Focus mode is on
- Quiet Hours: pick a window where nothing plays
- Menu bar only: no Dock icon, no window in the way
- VoiceOver support and full Dark Mode
BUILT FOR ACCESSIBILITY
Apple files hourly chimes under Accessibility, and for good reason. A sound reaches you without asking you to look at anything, which helps if you have low vision, if tracking time is hard for you, or if alarm tones feel harsh.
