HRLY vs ICSx⁵
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
HRLY
HRLY (Hourly) is a minimalist hourly chime app designed to help you keep track of time without constantly checking your phone. It uses a simple system of long and short tones to signify the hour, running quietly in the background. ✨ Features - Simple Time System: Easily learn the time-telling system. - Customizable Sounds: Use your own audio files for both the short and long tones. - Notification Controls: Skip the next chime or stop the service directly from the notification. - Background Service: Runs efficiently in the background to chime on the hour. - Optional Visual Pulse: An optional visual pulse can accompany the chime on the lock screen. (Still working out some kinks) - User Control: Easily enable or disable the main chime service, visuals, and custom sounds. - Minimalist Design: A clean, no-frills interface. - Open Source: A "View Source" button provides a quick link to the project's GitHub page.
