A 30-minute analog timer for the desk. The sand moves through mouth-blown glass by Gry Mattr — no battery, no screen, no notification. Just a visible measure of time passing, which turns out to be more useful than most digital alternatives. Flip it at the start of a work sprint and the desk acquires a different quality of focus.
Available in two additional colors.
The lemon yellow is so bright it makes me smile every time I flip it, and the sand flowing through the mouth-blown glass is oddly mesmerizing. It's become a weirdly satisfying ritual to watch those 30 minutes drain away while I focus.
I didn't realize how much I needed a timer without a screen until this sat next to my monitor. The sand trickling through that lemon-yellow glass is oddly hypnotic, and I actually get more done in 30-minute chunks now.
The mouth-blown glass is what sold me — the light catches the lemon yellow sand in a way that makes me pause mid-email just to watch it fall. Thirty minutes feels far more deliberate without a screen counting down, and the silence of it is oddly calming.
