Naps punctuate the to-and-fro momentum of life.

Sometimes, we believe that reality can wait. 

Sandglass is a personal and ambient nap assistant that carefully measures moments of silvery shuteye so that you wake punctually. 

Like the “hourglass” which its named after, Sandglass measures time. Watching sand trickle down made the passage of time felt peaceful and that is how Sandglass aims to be — quiet, calm and meditative.

Sandglass is a minimalist nap alarm and nap timer that ensures you meet reality on time. With Sandglass, your nap remains a nap, unless you choose otherwise. It is perfect for everyone — nappers, light sleepers, deep sleepers, monophasic sleepers, biphasic sleepers, polyphasic sleepers and insomniac friends. 

In our fast-paced society, we constantly feel like we do not have time. Not enough time to commit to new hobbies, to pause and to sleep. Long hours of sleep are a luxury to working urbanites. Naps, compared to sleep, can be accommodated to any schedule. When you nap, you are incorporating a healthy habit into your routine. Naps allow us to quiet our mind for a short while, slow down, enter a temporary dreamscape so that we can focus with more clarity when we wake.

Take a power nap, a baby nap, a siesta, a cat nap or just simply nap in peace with Sandglass. The app is suitable for all audiences — from parents, teenagers, working adults and elderlies.

Sandglass can also be used for other purposes such as productivity (such as timeboxing), yoga (perfect for shavasana) and meditation. 📝🌙
