I was searching for a good study timer with ambient videos, Spotify, and nice themes. Everything online was either trash or behind a paywall. So I built Hourglass — completely free. Features: ✦ Ambient video backgrounds (café, rain, forest, Tokyo, train, fireplace) ✦ Spotify playlists for each vibe ✦ Pomodoro, Deep Focus, 52/17, Ultradian, custom timers ✦ No login, no ads, no premium tier hourglass-study.vercel.app
I was searching for a good study timer with ambient videos, Spotify, and nice themes.
Everything I found was either stripped down or locked behind a paywall.
So I built Hourglass instead — completely free.
Started as a weekend project, but I got obsessed with making it perfect. 5 gradient themes, 7 video backgrounds (café, rain, forest, Tokyo, train, fireplace), Spotify playlists for each vibe, multiple timer techniques. Everything I wanted but couldn't find anywhere.
Using it right now to prep for GATE. No login, no ads, no premium tier waiting to surprise you.
If you try it, I'd love to hear what you think or what you'd add to it. Open-sourced on GitHub too if you want to contribute.
