What does Horologe cost?
$5.99, paid once. That's the whole price. It isn't an introductory rate and it doesn't renew — you buy it, and it's yours.
What the $5.99 buys
Four faces — Mantel, Station, Chronometer, Nocturne. Five bells — Westminster, Whittington, Ship's Bell, Temple Bowl, Grandfather. The quarters on or off, and the hour counted out either way. Quiet hours silent from 10pm to 8am, adjustable. A right-click on the bell in the menu bar to mute. It's about three and a half megabytes, needs macOS 15 or later, and comes from the Mac App Store.
There's no trial, because the product is a sound and the sound is on the front page of the site. Choose a face, choose a bell, strike it, and hear on your own speakers exactly what you'd be buying.
No subscription, no tiers
One payment, no renewal, no tier above this one, no feature held back for a Pro version. Nothing here needs a server: no account, no sync, no telemetry, no license check, no update ping. There's no bill we have to pay to keep your clock ringing, so there's no reason to charge you again.
It's also not a promotion waiting to end. The app has nothing to run and nothing to maintain in the cloud, so there's no cost that keeps climbing behind it. The price is the whole product, sold once, and it stays where it is.
What it doesn't do
For the same $5.99 you also get the limits, stated plainly: no alarms, no timers, no world clocks, and no ticking. It can ring during a call, because it can't see your screen or your calendar. Those aren't features we'll sell you later; they're just not the app.
Is there a discount? Refunds?
No discount. It's $5.99, once — that is the discount. And yes to refunds: if you bought from the Mac App Store, Apple handles them directly and is quick about it. It's $5.99; nobody should have to fight over it.
Buy it from the Mac App Store — $5.99 once. For what the one-time price stands for, read no subscription: what a one-time price buys.
