DESCRIPTION
Cuckoo brings customizable clock chimes to your Mac. Play a tone on the hour. Or on the half-hour, or any combination of five-minute intervals. Use one of Cuckoo's built-in beeps, or any of your Mac's installed sounds, at a customizable volume.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.2.2:
  • Performance: Cuckoo now works harder to ensure that the chime sound (and QuickTime itself) are loaded into RAM before it's time to chime. This should help address some rare situations where chimes would be missed, or would judder and skip during playback. (Thanks to Robert, Lauren, and other users who helped me test this fix.)
  • Update checking: Cuckoo now quits System Preferences when downloading an update (to ensure that the correct code is loaded when the new version is installed).
  • Update checking: Stability fixes.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

    *****

    LARAINE  Aw! I reckoned I didn't need this because OS X (Tiger) can tell me the time every hour. (It's fairly easy to get used to a sound but a voice is hard to ignore). However, I downloaded Cuckoo and its bong sound reminds me so much of the clock chime I created from a file I downloaded in the days of OS 9 that it reminds me how much I miss it. Cuckoo is a very nice piece of software and it's good to see the developer isn't greedy. Many "small" pieces of shareware are far more expensive than they should be, but the price of Cuckoo seems about right. I've given it only four points for features because I would like to see at least one set of proper chimes (Westminster, for instance) added to it, to be used along with the "bong" sound, so I can turn my Mac into a real (if rather strange-looking *G*) long-case clock and drive everybody else in the house absolutely bananas! They will wonder how come the clock in the living room has moved to my office.  (Version 1.2.2)
