Features

Time is invisible until it is not. Sands makes it physical. Sands lives on your Apple Watch. A shrinking ring shows time passing, while haptics become more noticeable as a deadline approaches. It is designed for anyone who finds it easy to lose track of time. Timers you can feel Start a timer in two taps. The ring shifts from calm green to urgent red, and haptic feedback increases as time runs out. Leave-by alerts Set a leave time, such as 8:40 AM, and receive escalating haptic reminders at 15, 10, 5, and 2 minutes beforehand. Routines Build your morning from timed steps that advance hands-free. See whether you are on track, and adjust with one tap when needed. Get-ready mode Plan backward from when you need to leave. Sands tells you when to begin and helps pace each step, with quick recovery options when a task runs long. Hyperfocus sessions Receive gentle check-ins so you can stay aware of elapsed time. No lockouts and no judgment. Describe it, do not build it Say, “shower 10, dress 5, breakfast 15, out by 8:40,” and Sands creates a routine on your device. Private by design No account required. No servers or tracking. Your data stays on your iPhone and Apple Watch. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
