Sand Clock

About the Sand Clock

The Sand Clock is an online hourglass timer you can watch. Set any length of time, press start, and the sand streams smoothly from the top bulb to the bottom — a calm, visual way to count down. When the last grain falls, it lets you know with a gentle chime.

Unlike a plain digital timer, a sand clock gives you an at-a-glance sense of time passing — perfect for focus sessions, classrooms, games, cooking, meditation or a mindful break. Make it yours by choosing the background and sand colors, then open it fullscreen for a distraction-free view.

Everything runs in your browser. Your time and colors are saved locally, and nothing is uploaded.
