SAND. Bottom pile is graded like the top one — no light/shadow split; its colour follows the time of day. Cone lift is what separates the raised pile from the flat bed behind it.

Cone lift over bed -0.040Cone apex shadow 0.085Cone base / bed contact 0.180Bed — night -0.400Bed — midday -0.300Rim off — top cap 0.04Rim off — base 0.04

FALLING SAND. Ported from the app (lib/hourglass/hourglass_painter.dart) — accelerating grains, same constants. Defaults ARE the app's values.

PILE GATHERING. The sand spreads evenly first, then a pile starts small and builds. Start = when the mound begins, Ramp = how much more drain until it is the full solved cone.

SUN — edit one key at a time.The rendered sun blends between these three by the sun's height, so whatever you set here is what shows at that time of day. Scrub Day time to preview.

Place=1, then drag the sun/moon in the sky — it edits the phase you're viewing (scrub Day time to reach it). Moon shows today's real phase.

Sand light — Mid Day

Edit phase Mid DayExposure 1.00Saturation 1.00Lit light (key) Shadow light (sky)

These edit the selected Time-of-day phase. Mid Day is the anchor (identity).

The Rim light (in Glass optics, locked) auto-scales per phase — strong at night, dim by day — so the hourglass stays the hero.

Questions

Everything else.

The short answers.

Is it free?

Yes, forever. Every mode, the whole living world, no account and no ads.

Does the timer survive a background tab?

Yes. It reads the wall clock instead of counting frames, so a throttled tab cannot make it drift.

Why does the sky change while I work?

It follows your real day. Sustain reads your timezone and moves the sun and moon to match.
