About Hourglass The Sand Timer
Watch real falling sand count your time. Hourglass simulates thousands of grains, and every grain is metered by the clock - the top bulb runs empty at the exact moment your timer ends, for any duration from 5 seconds to 24 hours. Hold it like the real thing. Gravity mode is on from the first launch: tilt your phone and the piles lean, slip and avalanche exactly like real sand - while the timer stays perfectly on time at any angle. • Gravity mode: tilt your phone and the sand leans and avalanches like the real thing • Beautiful glass hourglass with seven sand themes • No buttons needed: turn your phone over to start the glass, and turn it over again when it runs out - just like the real thing • Alarm-grade alerts, even after a reboot • Zen mode: hide the digits, let the sand tell the time • Timers library: save the durations you use most and build multi-phase sequences like Pomodoro or interval workouts that advance on their own • Works offline, no account needed - your timers and settings stay on your device. • Free with a small banner ad. One purchase removes it forever and unlocks every sand color.
