VAL: Voice, alarm & chimes

the ultimate audio clock app

Features & Capabilities

If you’ve ever tried to find a clock app that actually works the way you want, you’ve probably had to settle for less than ideal solutions. VAL changes that.

VAL is a fully customizable talking and chiming clock for iPhone and Mac.

Make Time Your Own VAL supports a wide range of clock types, from spoken time announcements to traditional chimes. The app includes high-quality recordings from real clocks — including rich Westminster chimes from a grandfather clock with tubular bells.

You can also import your own audio to create something completely personal: a favorite clock, a familiar voice, or a custom soundscape. VAL gives you full control over how your time sounds.

Flexible Announcements Choose announcements every 15, 30, or 60 minutes — or let each clock define its own schedule. Announcements continue even when the app is closed. Settings are saved per interval so you can experiment freely without losing your setup.

Need the time instantly? Tap Speak Now from inside the app, or assign the Speak Time shortcut to your Action Button or Back Tap for quick access anywhere.

Powerful Alarms VAL’s alarms are built to cut through Focus and silent mode, while letting you use any compatible clock sound from your collection. Quiet hours are available when you'd rather not be interrupted.

Smart Scheduling Automatically switch between clocks based on time, date, or events. Wake up to one sound, wind down with another, or mark special occasions with custom audio. Schedules and quiet hours can even follow local sunrise and sunset — calculated entirely on your device, with no network required.

Easy Sharing VAL uses a custom file format to share configurations. Move setups between iPhone and Mac, or share them with others — whether it’s a single setting or an entire clock collection.

Build Your Own Clocks VAL supports 13 distinct clock methods — from simple digit-by-digit speech to syllable-level recordings that sound like natural conversation, classic Big Ben-style chimes, cuckoo clocks, and more. A full methods reference is built right into the app, so you have everything you need to craft a clock from scratch.

Already using Steve’s Talking Clock on Windows? VAL is fully backward compatible with all of its clock methods, so any clock you use there will work seamlessly.

Whether you rely on spoken time, enjoy the tradition of real clock chimes, or want to build a sound experience that’s entirely your own — VAL is the clock app for you.

Download once, and enjoy across both your iPhone and Mac.

I highly recommend this app to anybody who is looking for time announcements with either chimes, grandfather, clocks, or voices. It is very accessible and very customizable.

I've missed the older clock apps I've had that became obsolete, so this one is a terriffic replacement and even better than before. Very screen reader accessible, and above and beyond in ease of use for setting up, making changes, and even importing your own clock audio schemes! Very well thought out and planned. Thank you very much!
