Sand Timer

About

This online sand timer brings the calming visual of a physical hourglass to your screen. Sand flows smoothly from the top bulb to the bottom, giving you a gentle, non-intrusive sense of time passing. It's ideal for timed classroom activities, meditation sessions, board game turns, and any task where a quiet visual countdown beats a ticking clock.

How to Use

1. Choose a preset duration (30 seconds to 10 minutes) or set your own.
2. Optionally pick a sand color to match your mood or theme.
3. Press Start to begin the countdown.
4. Pause and resume at any time without losing progress.
5. A three-tone chime plays when the timer finishes (you can mute it).
