About

DigitalSand

Read full description

The Digital Hourglass app is a timer app that displays and sounds (or even vibrates) the "sense of time passing like sand falling," making it easy to create short periods of focus or relaxation routines. It's less rigid than a timer that simply counts down, and it offers a more calming experience.
