This app gives you hourly chimes to remind you about how fast the time is going. Dont lose track of your precious time!

***** "A simple reminder just to let you know, its time to refocus and get back on track." - Do I? (Canada)

Features:
• Beautifully, elegantly, & automatically tells the time at each hour (1 oclock, 2 oclock, and so on).
• Choose between beep sounds or human voices as the alerts sound. The human voices tells you the hour!
• Set on/off for each hour. So its up to you if you dont want to be disturbed on your sleeping time, or if you want HourMate to alert you in every 2, 3, or 6 hours.
• The alerts also come along with random quotes, sayings, and wisdom words about the Time.
• Unlock the Premium Quotes and get thousands of inspiring quotes from various topics.
• You can even modify those quotes into your own personal reminder. For example:
* Lunch time reminder at 12PM
* Take medicine at 8AM, 2PM, and 8PM
* Sleep time at 11PM
* Call your loved one at 9PM
* And any kind of reminder (that you cannot put in the Calendar app).

And the best thing is, its FREE!

New feature!
• HourMate can also repeatedly remind you about something when youre leaving your current location. Its called Outbound Reminder. Unlock it through in-app purchase.

How to use this app:
1. Open HourMate, make sure the big red button is switched on and allow HourMate to make some notifications and access your location when asked. Dont worry, we promise WE WILL NOT RECORD YOUR DATA in any way.
2. Close the app.
3. Done! HourMate will hourly tell you the time.

***** "Has the features other apps dont. Works wonderfully, even with no app in the background! Perfect for what i needed." - S.LionHeart (USA)

***** "I simply wanted something to beep at me hourly during the day to remind me to get up from my desk and MOVE! I even fully closed the app so it wasnt open in the background and it STILL beeped for me on the hour." - tra548 (USA)

Pros and cons of HourMate - Hourly Chime & Time Reminder for Keeping Track of Your Precious Hours app for iPhone and iPad

HourMate - Hourly Chime & Time Reminder for Keeping Track of Your Precious Hours app good for

Best $3.99 Ive spent on iTunes! Super relevant to what I need and very useful. I love the inspirational quoutes.
Try it! I hope they add a way to donate to invest in this concept.
I have looked for a app like this forever, working at home and getting off track, next thing you know 2 hours have slipped by. A simple reminder just to let you know, its time to refocus and get back on track.

Some bad moments

I paid for the upgrade and it has never gone through. I even emailed and got a response to just hit restore purchases and it still doesnt work. Dumb app. Go with another. There are plenty others.
Dont bother getting it, it takes your money and fails to download your purchases, it took my $1.05
Tried to upgrade the full version. The charge came through no problem but the upgrade didnt!! I have emailed them twice with no response! I dont recommend you spend any money on this app!! Yes I already tried restoring purchase. Dont Work!!
But now it refuses to alert me on the hours I selected so its pointless. It requires you to use Location Services and I leave mine off unless I need it specifically. Very disappointed.
. . . to know where I am to tell me the time if you werent using the location tracking data to sell to someone? Wont do any time telling without allowing location services. The data privacy assurance is obviously a complete lie.
I paid for unlock everything said all this new stuff was coming new voice and beeps tried restore that did not work instead you added other stuff and say pay us again unlock everything should mean EVERYTHING ! Also they removed all of there other reviews and say they havent gotten enough reviews to list but they sure did have reviews before there update!!
