Five Bells vs SWList Usage & Stats
For sailors or anyone interested in maritime tradition.
The ship’s bell has traditionally been used to mark the passage of time and the changeover of watches aboard ships.
Five Bells aims to replicate this tradition on your iPhone®. Bells can be configured to sound a traditional or simplified sequence. Alternatively, a single bell can be struck every hour.
A scheduled quiet-time can be enabled to prevent bells from sounding during a scheduled period.
Additional information relevant to sailors is also provided.

SWList provides access to the EiBi list, assisting you in discovering and identifying shortwave radio stations.
This list, curated by Eike Bierwirth, serves as a valuable resource in the SWL community.
SWList offers four convenient methods to explore radio stations:
1. Inputting the listening frequency displays stations near the specified frequency.
2. Viewing all stations within a particular radio band.
3. Searching by the radio station's name, country, or language of broadcast.
4. Retrieving the frequency either manually or automatically from your radio receiver connected via hamlib.
Additionally, you can refine your results to show only currently broadcasting stations.
Each station's details, including broadcast location, target area, and spoken language, are accessible.
If the transmitting site's position is available, you can visualize it on a geographical map and measure the distance from your location.
SWList also features both light and dark modes.
