Chimester 1.8 (for Palm OS)
Chimester 1.8 (for Palm OS)
Chime-ster (formerly known as TreoHour) is a small chime applications that causes the Treo 650 to emit audible beeps every quarter hour (single beep), half hour (single beep) or one hour (two beeps). Chimester has several user configurable options. Be aware of the passage of time with Chimester.
griffinca: Seemed unreliable on my 700p. PocketDoan has an option called Chime Panel that is more flexible and totally reliable. I recommend it instead.
Tom R: In reference to comparing this program to Chime, this program is 18 kb and Chime is 781 kb in size.
zedd: tried chime, same with this program, but chime has more options
jgumphress: Great little program except for one drawback. Every time the Treo chimes the screen lights up and stays on for whatever you have set the screen-on time for.
V1|2U5: its like a grandfather clock minus the bong! bong! sound
dixonmat: I have used this and I think this is a good program. My only comment would be able to choose different sounds.
MFB: It resets my Treo after sometime. Good idea, but better fix the incompatibilities first. It seems to conflict with Initiate and CallFilter.
