User Reviews

Overall, users praise Hourly for its simplicity and reliable hourly reminders, including auto-off and optional spoken alerts. However, recurring complaints center on limited customization (few ringtones, no cuckoo sound, limited voice options), inconsistent Apple Watch support and cross-device synchronization, and occasional reliability glitches (duplicate beeps or alerts that don’t sound unless the phone is unlocked). Many users want better watch integration, more voices/tones, and smoother multi-device syncing.
Pros
  • Simple, bare-bones app that reminds you of the time without adding to your calendar.
  • Reliable hourly reminders with good background operation.
  • Auto-off after each reminder, so you don't have to manually dismiss it.
  • Supports both audible chimes and spoken time announcements, aiding time management.
  • Works on iPhone and remains stable across iOS updates.
Cons
  • Apple Watch integration is limited/inconsistent; watch features are not fully supported.
  • Limited sound and voice customization; few tones and no cuckoo option; voice options (gender/locale) are missing.
  • Reliability issues like duplicate alerts and some cases where the alert won’t beep; in some setups hour notifications require the phone to be unlocked.
  • Settings and preferences do not sync cleanly with the Apple Watch; you often have to configure separately on the watch.

Works with ios 26, wish it had an option for a soundless vibrate reminder but perfect aside from that

I really enjoy this product, as it helps me keep track of my day. It would be fantastic to have the option to change the chime to my personal sound or customize it using iOS sounds.
