// what will yours say?

The best lock sounds aren't downloads. They're yours.

Five seconds is all the car plays. Five seconds is plenty.

Record
"Bye, car!"
Your four-year-old, every single time. Guaranteed to make the neighbours smile.
From a video
That one bark.
Pull the audio straight out of a video in your Photos. No computer, no converter.
Your voice
"Locked. Go get 'em."
A pep talk from yourself, in your voice, in the parking lot before the meeting.
Boombox
Five horn sounds.
Fill the car's Boombox slots too. The car gets a different personality every day of the week.
// how it works

Three steps. No laptop.

1

Make a sound

Record it, grab it from a video, or find a free one on the web, right inside the app. Trim it to the good part and give it a name.

2

Plug in the drive

Take the car's USB drive out of the glovebox, plug it into your iPhone and tap Lock Chime. The app puts it exactly where the car looks and double-checks it landed.

3

Lock the car

Put the drive back, flip one switch on the car's screen, and lock it from outside. That's your sound.

// made to be played with

An app you'll open just to poke the lock.

Most car utilities feel like a settings screen. This one feels like a toy that happens to do the job.

  • A real 3D padlock you can spin, flick and pop open. It clunks shut when you install a sound.
  • Sounds and haptics for every tap. The dial clicks as it turns.
  • Four looks, each with its own app icon. Try one on the lock above.
  • People: everyone in the family gets their own favorites, in their own order.
  • Share any sound by Messages or AirDrop. Friends with the app import it in a tap.
// private by design

Nothing leaves your phone.

No account. No analytics. No server of ours. Your recordings stay in your pocket and on your USB drive, and nowhere else. The whole privacy policy fits on one screen.
