## Description

No unlocking, no fumbling. Put the bell on your Lock Screen and ring it with one tap while your hands stay on the bars.

Bike Bell is a bicycle bell for a handlebar-mounted iPhone. Tap anywhere on the screen to ring — or ring straight from your Lock Screen, without unlocking the phone.

That last part is the whole point. Reaching into your pocket, unlocking, finding an app and hitting a small button is not something you can do while riding. Bike Bell puts the ring one tap away from wherever your phone already is.

RING IT FROM ANYWHERE

• Lock Screen — add a Bike Bell button to a Lock Screen slot and ring without unlocking
• Control Centre — swipe down and ring
• Action Button — on iPhone 15 Pro and later
• Back Tap — double-tap the back of the phone. The only fully hands-free option, and the best one while riding
• Siri — "Ring my Bike Bell"
• The app itself — the entire screen is the button, so you cannot miss it with gloves on

RIDE MODE

Start a ride and a large bell button sits on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island for the whole trip, with elapsed time and a count of every ring. Tap "End ride" when you're done.

You can have this start on its own: a Shortcuts automation can begin ride mode the moment a cycling workout starts, and clear it when the workout ends.

THREE BELLS

Classic — a single bright ding.
Double — two strikes, for when once isn't enough.
Trill — a rapid rotary bell.

Every sound is synthesized rather than sampled: a struck brass dome modelled as inharmonic modes with their own decay rates, plus a hammer transient. No licensed samples, no tinny recordings.

BUILT FOR ACTUAL RIDING

• Rings even with the phone on silent
• Optional audio ducking, so your music or navigation dips for the ding instead of stopping
• Works in any orientation, because bike mounts hold a phone every which way
• Keep-screen-on and full-brightness options for glare
• Warns you when your audio is routed to headphones — where the bell reaches your ears and nobody else's — and when your volume is too low to carry

PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION

No account. No network code. No analytics. No tracking. No data collection of any kind — the app has no way to send anything anywhere, because there is nothing in it that talks to a server.

A NOTE ON WHAT THIS IS

Bike Bell is an audible warning device, not a substitute for one where the law requires a fitted bell. Check your local rules. And it needs your phone mounted where you can reach it — this is a bell for a handlebar mount, not for a pocket.

Requires iOS 18 or later.
