## What is Hourglass?

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
