Tinny(not), the iPhone that announces your hours

An hourly chime and speaking-clock app that works from an iPhone lock screen, with custom schedules, sounds, spoken messages, and no data collection.

Why it surfaced

Tinny(not) turns timekeeping into a small ritual: users can assign different sounds to each quarter-hour, import up to three recordings, or have the phone speak a custom reminder such as “Take your pills.” It runs through iOS notifications with the app closed, has a free tier and one-time paid upgrade, and makes an unusually explicit no-ads, no-analytics promise.
