216 Bells
The Maritime Ship's Clock
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Traditional ship's clock with bell strikes, compass, tides and weather — now for iPad too.
216 Bells is a maritime ship's clock following the traditional bell-striking system used at sea.
Every 30 minutes the ship's bell rings — from 1 to 8 bells — just like on board a real vessel. The app displays the current watch, the bell count, and a classic brass compass with GPS bearing and position.
