Hourglass
Read full descriptionHide full description
This is an approximately 3-minute hourglass that uses physics simulation to recreate realistic movements. You can enjoy watching the grains of sand smoothly fall under natural gravity while keeping track of time. With a simple and intuitive design, it's an ideal tool for meditation or improving focus. When the gyroscope sensor is enabled, the movement of the sand adjusts in real-time according to the tilt of your device. Each session offers a different atmosphere, allowing you to relax and experience the comforting analog feel within a digital space.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hourglass at none against Matrix Clocca's 1. Matrix Clocca's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
