HRLY

A minimalist hourly chime.
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.
