Talking Clock: Time and Custom Reminder Extension for Chrome

'Talking Clock' is a versatile Chrome extension designed to aid productivity and time management. It announces the time at set intervals and can issue custom reminders for daily, weekly, monthly, or annual events. Notably, it presents various customizable settings, from Do Not Disturb functionalities to reminder frequency. Moreover, this extension offers both voice and system notifications to suit your preference. While the focus lies on time reminders and custom alerts, it also includes a clock displaying the time and date. However, this is not intended to replace an alarm clock for critical events. It is particularly suited for individuals who spend prolonged periods at their computer, such as remote workers, programmers, and writers.

Decent app. As a teacher, I use it to remind my students when they need to leave for band, tutoring, resource, etc. It would be nice if there was also an alert sound before it speaks. Another app, Reminder App, has this feature but it doesn't talk.
