Is Chime Now and Then an alarm?

No. Chime Now and Then isn't an alarm. Alarms announce emergencies and expect action from you. Chime Now and Then is a completely passive reassurance system; it doesn't expect you to do anything — it simply reminds you that the system is active.

Does it help me find my phone?

Yes. Thanks to periodic sound signals, you can easily tell which room your phone is in. Follow the sound to find a lost phone.

At what intervals can it chime?

Chime Now and Then offers fully customizable intervals between 30 seconds and 10 minutes. You can set short or long intervals depending on your needs.

Can I use my own system sound?

Yes. You can choose any of the notification sounds already on your phone. Soothing, neutral or attention-grabbing — use whichever sound feels right to you.

Does it keep working if the phone restarts?

Yes. Chime Now and Then remembers your settings and keeps working even after the device restarts. The reassurance continues without interruption.

Does it use a lot of battery?

No. Chime Now and Then only plays short, regular sound signals. It's a lightweight background service and its battery use is minimal.

Does it work with other Companion modules?

Yes. Chime Now and Then works with all Companion modules (Check-in Time, Reminders, Location Reminder, Special Days, Special Day Calendar, Smart Clipboard, My Location Book, To-do List, Sticky Notes, Reminder History). It adds an audible layer of reassurance to your safety, reminder and location systems.

About the Module

Chime Now and Then is Companion's passive audio reassurance module. It plays a short sound at the intervals you choose and doesn't wait for any action from you. Its main purpose is to let you hear that the protection system is active and to give you peace of mind. It asks nothing of you — it simply says "I'm here" at regular intervals. It also helps you find your phone, strengthens your sense of time and lets you hear that the system is alive.

I can't find where my phone is. I wonder whether the protection system is really working. Silence makes me uneasy. I don't want to keep looking at my phone.

Chime Now and Then plays a short sound signal at customizable intervals between 30 seconds and 10 minutes, makes your phone easier to find and gives you audible reassurance that the system is active.
