Hourglass: Sand & Chess Timer

A simple sand timer you flip with a tap — plus a two-player chess timer with real increments. No ads, ever.

An hourglass, not an app.

Open it, tap a time, and watch the sand run. Tap anywhere to flip the glass and start over. Hold to pause. That's the whole manual.

TIMER • 30 seconds to 2 minutes with one tap, or any custom time • Smooth sand simulation — the amount of sand is the time left • Gentle chime and a firm vibration when the last grain lands • Notifies you even if the screen has locked • Keeps your screen awake while the sand runs

CHESS CLOCK • Two hourglasses — tap anywhere to end your turn • 3+0 blitz, 10+5 and 15+10 rapid with real Fischer increment • Turn-timer mode for board games: every turn starts fresh • Pause with a long press, hold again to reset

QUIET BY DESIGN • No ads, no account, no tracking — nothing is collected • Dark and light, follows your system or your choice • Sound and haptics are yours to toggle • VoiceOver supported
