## Description

**Cuckoo Hourly Chime** is a versatile Chrome extension designed to remind you of the time just like a traditional cuckoo or striking clock. It plays a cuckoo call every half hour once, and the number of calls matches the hour count on every full hour. With more than 10 built-in clock sounds, you can customize your hourly or half-hourly alerts to suit your preferences.

Key features include the ability to speak the time with a custom title, an hours-only option, and convenient controls such as stopping the alert by waking the screen or using the notification bar. This extension runs in the background to ensure timely alerts, with compatibility notes for certain devices like MIUI requiring auto start or locked status for optimal function.

Ideal for users who appreciate auditory time cues or want subtle time reminders without constantly checking the clock, this extension offers flexibility and style for your hourly notifications.
