THE ANGELUS BELL — A Sacred Tradition, Reimagined for Your Daily Life

For centuries, church bells called Christians to pause three times a day, at 6 AM, noon, and 6 PM, to pray the Angelus, a meditation on the Incarnation. In village squares and open fields, across Europe and beyond, people stopped what they were doing and turned their hearts to God.

That tradition has faded. We are bringing it back.

The Angelus Bell transforms your Android phone into a sacred timekeeper, ringing authentic church bells at the appointed hours, not synthetic sounds or generic reminders, but real recordings from churches and monasteries around the world. The same sacred tones that once echoed across generations, now in your pocket.

AUTHENTIC SACRED SOUND
Experience genuine church bell recordings from historic locations including the Abbey of Notre-Dame in Le Barroux, the Church of St. Marcellus in Trento, Holy Ghost Cathedral in Hradec Králové, and more. Each bell carries centuries of prayer and devotion, bringing that sacred atmosphere wherever you are.

DESIGNED FOR BEAUTY AND SIMPLICITY
The app lives quietly on your device until the appointed hour arrives. When 6 AM, noon, or 6 PM comes, authentic church bells ring with a gentle reminder to pause and pray. Choose your preferred bell recording, select which hours to observe, and open the full prayer text when you are ready.

BUILT FOR DAILY DEVOTION
The Angelus Bell includes the full text of the Angelus and, during Eastertide, the Regina Caeli. It also shows the day's liturgical observance using a public liturgical calendar feed, while keeping the core prayer and bell experience fully available on your device.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
No accounts. No subscriptions. No analytics. No tracking. No ads. Your bell preferences and prayer settings stay on your device. The app's only network access is a lightweight fetch of public liturgical calendar data. If you choose to support the mission, donations are handled entirely on PayPal's website.

FREE FOREVER
Built by a team who believes sacred traditions should be accessible to all. The Angelus Bell is, and always will be, completely free, with no hidden costs or premium tiers.

Whether you are rediscovering an ancient devotion or seeking to deepen your prayer life, The Angelus Bell offers a beautiful way to sanctify your day. Let the bells call you to prayer, just as they have for countless faithful souls throughout history.

Ratings and reviews

Has a major bug and the in-app support takes you to 404 "Page not found" when trying to submit. I tried emailing but no response. The issue: When using Blutooth earbuds, the bell still rings on the phone's main speakers when the screen is locked. This is very irritating and causes a distraction to other people when I'm at work. Worse yet, my volume controls on the side of the phone can't mute or turn the volume down until I unlock the screen and close the app. Sadly, I can't use this like this.

I absolutely love this. As much as I love doing the Angelus at the 6am, noon and 6pm, this app will alert me even with my do not disturb on, and its a beautiful aid. Thank you ♥️🙏

A fantastic reminder to pause in the middle of the day for prayer. When I travelled to St. Maurice in Switzerland (French side), the church bells would ring in the town from the Cathedral to remind everyone to pray the Vespers. it is good to lift our eyes to Heaven throughout the day and remember a time when this was normal.
