This app is just what I've been needing. I just didn't know it. It helps me keep track of my day and keeps me on time. Love it.

Almost Time is a talking clock speaking in human voice sentences.
It will tell you the coming time some minutes earlier,
e.g. 10 minutes before 8 PM it will tell you: IT IS ALMOST 8 O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING.

No more reason to set your clocks 10 or x minutes fast.

Our CLOCK app now also includes the ALMOST functionality.

Human sentences from the background, even when you are using different apps on your device!!
(Well, except for KCOLC, that one does not speak.)

★★★★★ If you want even more:
our CLOCK, TIMER and CLOCK 2 apps run together with this app perfectly well.
For example:
at 5:50 PM - it is almost 6 o'clock in the afternoon (ALMOST app)
at 6:00 PM - it is 6 o'clock in the afternoon (CLOCK app)
a few seconds later - you will hear 6 chimes or 6 cuckoos (CLOCK 2 app)
and listen to the remaining minutes by the count to time timer or countdown timer at any time. (TIMER app)

This is how these 4 apps cooperate. You can set each of these to silent or loud hours or alerts separately.
