I started using the hourly chime on my wrist watch and found it helps ground me. The trouble is the chime can be disruptive at night, and it’s tedious to turn it on and off every day. I’m hoping to find a clock (not a wrist watch)-- of decent build quality-- with an adjustable chime (volume and active window). I don’t care if the clock mechanisms are mechanical or not, so long as the chime is pleasant.
I’m struggling to get satisfying web-search results, but I thought others with ADHD may already have a similar solution. Anyone have a clock with a chime you’d recommend?
Easy to do on your phone with an app like AMDroid that has very configurable alarms (on most android phones not sure about iPhone). Just set a good tone and set it to dismiss automatically after a second or two or turn off looping of the alarm sound.
There are standalone clocks that use Android and have a touch screen and all of that, but usually they are expensive and have low build quality for the price. I was looking around a few years ago for a bedside clock with advanced features.
I have an old android sitting around for when I require something not supported on a de-googled phone. So the app route seems like a solid option. Thanks for the recommendation
