Belfry: Bells & Chimes on Time

Belfry gives your day a sound. Every hour, a real bell rings — deep and unhurried, from a tower on your screen where the sky matches the sky outside your window.

You can leave it at that. Many people do: a beautiful clock that marks the hours while they work, cook, study or rest. Quiet at night, unless you ask otherwise.

But there's more in here than an hour bell.

NINETEEN BELLS, EACH ITS OWN VOICE A great cathedral bell. Big Ben. A monastery. A singing bowl. A gong. A brass ship's bell, a chapel handbell, a school bell, a cowbell, a cuckoo clock. Every one recorded or built with care, and every one rings differently at one o'clock than at noon.

YOUR OWN SKY The sun and moon cross the arch at the right height for where you are. Stars come out at your dusk, clouds drift, and the light in the tower changes as your day does. Nothing to set up, and it never asks for your location.

THE HOURS, HOWEVER YOU LIKE THEM Ring on the hour, the half or the quarter. Westminster quarters. A single stroke or a full count. Quiet hours so nothing sounds while you sleep. Prayer bells for the canonical hours, if you keep them.

AND A TOWER TO KEEP Tap the arch and you may find a way in. There's a bellfounder living under the bells, a cat who rings them when he can't, a workshop where eight bells are cast one at a time, seasons, visitors, hidden prizes and a band in the cellar who play when you've earned the party. Play it for years or never open it at all — the bells ring either way.
