Hourglass The Sand Timer
A real hourglass in your hand
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Real falling sand counts your time. Tilt your phone and the sand leans and avalanches like a true hourglass. 5 seconds to 24 hours. No ads, no account.
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 six 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 ads, no advertising trackers, no account - your timers and settings stay on your device.

Fixes for the optional supporter purchase. Unlocking the extra sand colors is a one-time purchase that now restores properly on a new device or after a reinstall, and if the store cannot be reached the app says so instead of doing nothing. As always: no ads, no account, everything stays on your device.
