My Mac Studio is arriving soon πŸŽ‰ and I need to sign for it. The problem is I’m usually working in the basement with headphones. My house didn’t have a door bell either. The result is I never hear when a delivery person knocks. So I solved it:

  1. I got a cheap (CA$25) bluetooth doorbell chime and plugged the receiver in at my office.
  2. Turned on Settings β†’ Accessibility β†’ Sound Recognition β†’ Sounds β†’ Doorbell on my iPhone.

Now when the door bell rings I get a time-sensitive push notification on my phone.

As the saying goes, accessibility technology is for everyone.
