Key Features:
✓ Elegant Hourly Announcements: A clear and pleasant voice announces the hour, helping you stay aware of your day's progression without looking at a screen.
✓ Total Schedule Control: You are in charge. Use the simple 24-hour grid to select exactly which hours you want announcements for. Perfect for your work schedule, study sessions, or respecting your sleep.
✓ Smart Silent Mode: The app is intelligent enough to respect your needs. Toggle the "Mute in Silent Mode" option to automatically silence announcements when your phone is in Silent or Vibrate mode. No surprise interruptions during important meetings.

A Note on Modern Android Phones: To save battery, some phone manufacturers (like Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo) can be very aggressive about closing background apps. If you find announcements are stopping, please consult the in-app Troubleshooting Guide for simple, one-time fixes to ensure uninterrupted service.
