Sablio — table hourglass timer for board games and RPGs

A timer the whole table can see

A phone timer is a screen one player stares at. Sablio lies flat: the sand speaks to everyone. 30 seconds, 1 minute, or any duration you want. It stays a tool — hourglass / timer — not a game.

Board nights

Turns and rounds

A long turn is obvious. One tap to pause when the table talks.

RPG

Fight, scene, reset

A name on the base — “Combat round” — and everyone reads the same clock.

Cooking

30 s, 1 min, 15 min

The hourglass stays on the counter. An end sound if you walk away.

Focus

Watch time run

Slow the flow, or reverse it. A living hourglass, not a progress bar.

Gestures, not menus mid-game

The hourglass starts three-quarters full. Set the duration, put the phone down, play.

One tap: pause

Another tap resumes. Nobody unlocks a second screen.

0.1× to 10×

Slow, speed up, reverse the flow. The neck follows.

Double-tap: empty / restart

Round over, go again. Or invert time.

Questions

Is Sablio an hourglass or a timer?

Both. A countdown shown as a living hourglass, in the middle of the table, so everyone can see the time.

Is it free? Are there ads?

Free to download. Hourglass, Sablio style, and sand included. No ads. Everything else is optional, one-time.

Do I need an account or the internet?

No. No account. The timer runs on the device. Purchases go through Google Play.

Android, iPhone, browser?

Android on Google Play, and a try-out in the browser. iOS is not published yet.
