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.

Just the Ticket

I’m quite pleased with this app. I use ships bells to measure my passage through the day, to remind me to move, exercise, move on, to a different task, or just to pause and look around. The sound of the bell metal is pleasant, with a slightly extended resonance, and options for lower volume and a more minimal bell.
With some complications stemming from Focus and Notifications features of ios 15, I needed to consult with the originator of the app. I can report that his tech support is fast, helpful, and friendly.

Looked, tried, disliked, until this

Thank you for this app, which is exactly what I was looking for. Every other nautical/navy clock app has weird behavior with the current iOS version, or wants way too much money, or ??? This app acts exactly as I hoped, has options, managed the banners (or none!!) correctly and has decent bell sounds. THANK YOU!!!

Eight Bells and all’s well

I’m retired US Navy. If you have a Naval or Coast Guard background and understand the eight bell cycle of time-telling, then this is the app for you. Easy to configure. Pleasant sounding ring tone on the bell itself. Overall, a fun way to keep track of time throughout the day without taking your iPhone out of pocket to glance at it.
