BELFRY
Bringing back the bells
◆
12:00

Tap a bell to make it your sound — it rings on the hour and when you tap the bell. Tap ▶ to preview. Each bell is shown with its own strike tone.
Choose when the bells ring. They sound while the app is open and keep ringing in the background.
Sets of prayer chimes for the canonical hours — expand a set, tap any bell to preview, and toggle the hours you want. They ring at the traditional times, whether the app is open or not. The eight canonical hours are free to everyone.
Prayers chime while the app is open. Times follow the monastic Divine Office (Liturgy of the Hours).
A ringer keeps this tower, and a black cat keeps him company. He lives here in real time on your own clock — sleeping, eating, reading, working — and whatever your Schedule asks for is struck on time: by him if he is near the rope, by the cat if he is not. Tap anywhere in the tower to point him at something, or send something up with the buttons below the house.
You settle the design together in a few taps. After that he works at it in his own time, stage by stage, whether the app is open or shut — and the bells go on ringing exactly as they always have.
Whoever you take on lives here from now on, on your own clock. You can change his face whenever you like, in the Tower.
Every bell, every prayer, every peal — and the tower you have just opened. One payment, and it is yours for life.
There are rooms under your belfry, and someone in them. He is the reason the hour is always struck on time. He is locked away for now.
