What happens next
You pay Apple, the app comes down, and it’s on your desktop in about forty seconds. There’s no account to make, no key to keep and no email to confirm. Drag it where you want it, pull a corner until it’s the size of a real clock across a real room, and pick the bell you liked upstairs. Put it somewhere you can see it — the next quarter is already on its way.
One thing to know before you pay
Horologe can’t see your screen, read your calendar or hear your microphone, so it can’t tell a meeting from an empty room, and it can ring in the middle of a call. That’s why hushing it is the easiest thing in the app: right-click the bell in the menu bar and it’s silent, with no panel to open first. Quiet hours cover the same stretch of every day without you thinking about it. We’d rather it be deaf and easy to hush than have it watching you to guess.
If you change your mind
Apple handles refunds for everything bought on the App Store, directly and quickly: ask for one at reportaproblem.apple.com. If it gives you any trouble, write to us and we’ll help you chase it. It’s $5.99; nobody should have to fight over it.
