About

Sablio

Features
Read full description

Sablio is an hourglass timer you set in the middle of the table. Everyone can see the sand. A turn that runs long, a fight that drags on, a timed round: one tap to pause, another to start again. Set 30 seconds, 1 minute, or any duration you want. For board-game nights and role-playing sessions. Also a kitchen timer, a focus timer, or just a pleasure to watch. The hourglass is alive: slow it down, speed it up, or reverse the flow (0.1× to 10×). Styles, materials, and your name on the base. 20 languages. No ads. Run up to 4 timers side by side, each with its own time and speed. More ways to show time: analog clock, flip counter, nixie tubes, candle, sundial, ice cube, marble run, and more. Free: the full hourglass with every style and content, and up to 4 timers at once. Each other counter type is $2.99 with all its styles and contents included, and can be tried for 1 minute. Or $9.99 to unlock everything for life (updates included).
