Editor's Overview

Chibe is a timer application developed by F-Droid Open Source, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.2 weighing in at 3.89 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 3.89 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "F-Droid Open Source" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

In the past, many homes had a chiming or cuckoo's clock, that would make a noise
every hour/half hour/quarter hour, Chibe emulates this behaviour in your phone.
Instead of making a noise, Chibe vibrates your phone, so that you are reminded
of the time, but you don't annoy the people around you. This can be useful
during activities, where you want to be reminded of the time, without looking,
like sporting or reading, or when you just want to keep better track of your
time.

Features:

* Choose at what interval you would like your phone to vibrate
* Choose between multiple vibration patterns, so you won't confuse Chibe with normal notifications.
* Create your own vibration patterns
* Configure times at which Chibe should be silent, so you won't be annoyed at night.

Permissions:

* Control vibration: Chibe uses this permission to make your phone vibrate at set intervals.
* Run at startup: Chibe uses this, so the you don't need to reenable it every time your phone reboots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Chibe free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Chibe require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Chibe safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by F-Droid Open Source. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Chibe?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
