Cinematic photography, gradients, and original poster art transform the clock into a beautiful visual experience you actually want to look at. Swipe to browse, or let your collection shuffle.

Designed for ambient time

Adaptive brightness and gentle dimming help your iPhone become an ambient desk clock while you’re charging (turn on Always-On Display in Settings) — whether it's on your desk, nightstand, or somewhere you're waiting.

Just open it and go

No account. No login. No ads. No tracking. HypeChime is designed to be simple from the moment you open it.

More worlds to discover

Start with a curated collection of clock backgrounds. Optional poster packs bring new places, moods, and visual experiences — available as one-time purchases, with no subscription.
