ClockSmith Lite

ClockSmith Lite is one of those applications you either like or dismiss from the start. It's basic in appearance and what offers, yet for those individuals who lose track of time, it is a great aid.

This application is basically a chime, that will remind you at certain fixed periods, what time it is. It's up to you how often it will chime, but rest assured it will according to when you ask it to do so.

One thing the user should keep in mind is that the app itself is not as recent as it might let one think. In fact, it has already aged pretty well. Despite this aspect, when looking at it, nothing really gives that feeling of old.

Of course, its interface is pretty basic, but it doesn't stand out in any way when used with more modern operating systems such as Windows 11, for example. It feels right at home. The few buttons and options available are clearly labeled. This ultimately means that you won't waste much time adjusting it.

Keep in mind that the program is basically a fancy alarm. The sound is calm, pleasing, even old school, some might say. In terms of the chimes, you can play, there aren't any to choose from. You can, however, set when they ring.

As such, one can hear the chime at a quarterly interval, every half hour, every hour, or never, the last one being beside the point of the app. An option to Toll the hour can be checked or unchecked, depending on one's needs. The volume can be adjusted from a lower tonality to a higher one. Lastly, one can test the chime to see if it works appropriately.

ClockSmith Lite is an interesting application for users who want or need to be more present in terms of time and its passage. It's a great thing you can adjust when it chimes, thus being a great guide for situations where you need to know how much time you've got left for a project or endeavor.
