How to Set Your MacBook to Announce Time Specifically

Sometimes when we are busy working, we are not aware of the time. So, it is important to have something to remind us about the time. We might be able to use the alarm as a reminder, but it seems annoying and we must turn it off each time the alarm is ringing.

Even though we can set some alarms to ring at a specific time, we are still possibly unaware of the exact time of the alarm, and we may ask to ourselves “What time is this alarm?”, “Is it the second or third alarm?” etc? Because of this problem, I suggest you use a feature that I named a time teller on your MacBook.


Quick-Step

Click the Apple  button > System Preferences > Date & Time > Open padlock with Touch ID or password > Tick Announce the time > Click the dropdown > Select On the hour,
On the half-hour, or On the quarter-hour.
