  "textContent": "Hello, everyone!\n\nI'm very pleased to share what I've been working on for the past six weeks.\n\nI know clock apps are pretty niche products,, but in the 13 years I've been an iPhone user, none of them have worked the way I wanted. That’s why I decided it was time to create something of my own.\n\n**VAL (Voice and Alarm)** is an app for iOS and macOS that lets you use virtually any clock you could want—including those from Steve’s Talking Clock. It comes with six chiming clock sets and two talking ones to get you started.\n\n### Key Features\n\n  * Import custom clock packs\n  * Set announcement intervals per clock type\n  * Proper alarm support via AlarmKit (iOS 26+)\n  * Simple to use, but highly customizable interface\n  * Full VoiceOver support\n  * Import single or multiple clocks via the Files app or Computer Upload\n  * Quiet Hours\n  * Advanced scheduling:\n    * Assign different clocks to different times\n    * Set unique clocks and announcement frequencies per day\n    * Optional alarms for schedule start/end times\n  * Includes a custom file format which allows you to seamlessly transfer your clock library and settings between devices\n\n\n\nThis is only the beginning, but I’m genuinely excited to finally be able to bring this to you all.\n\nThe macOS version is still in review, but I’ll share that link as soon as it’s available.\n\n**Note:** This is a bundled purchase—buying one version will cover both iOS and macOS.\n\nI really hope you enjoy the app, and happy Friday!\n\nPreorder VAL on the App Store",
