Description

For sailors or anyone interested in maritime tradition.

The ship’s bell has traditionally been used to mark the passage of time and the changeover of watches aboard ships.

Five Bells aims to replicate this tradition on your iPhone®. Bells can be configured to sound a traditional or simplified sequence. Alternatively, a single bell can be struck every hour.

A scheduled quiet-time can be enabled to prevent bells from sounding during a scheduled period.

Additional information relevant to sailors is also provided.

Quiet time doesn’t work

I really wanted this to work but the quiet time feature doesn’t work. Despite it being set to not ring from after 9pm to 6.29am to not annoy the hell out of my wife, we have just been awoken at 3.00am by bells and she reports hearing them every half an hour earlier. So it’s likely to be a delete from me unfortunately and a strong recommendation against them for people who like their sleep uninterrupted by bells.

Learned a lot

This is great. I now understand how the system works, and it helps
me keep track of time when working.
I do wish the silence function worked. I have to turn my phone off when we sleep.. I don't mind hearing the occasional bell through the night but the wife is not keen.
