Desk sand timer

A quiet reminder to look away from the screen

Tempo is a sand timer for your desk. Flip it to start a work block. When the sand runs out, it is time to rest your eyes and stretch.

  • No app, no phone alert, no extra screen
  • Lay it down during calls and the sand stops
  • 50-minute glass, silent from start to finish

Concept render of the Tempo sand timer on a desk next to law books, with a brushed metal body, clear glass and a soft glow

Made for people who sit at a screen all day

Nothing to answer

It never chimes or buzzes. You see the sand, or you don't, and you stay in control.

Fits a legal workday

Lay it on its side for a call, a hearing or a meeting and the sand stops. Stand it up when you are back.

Looks like it belongs

A brushed metal body, clear glass and a soft glow. It sits next to a keyboard without drawing attention.

How it works

  1. 1

    Flip it

    Turn Tempo over when you sit down to work. The sand starts.

  2. 2

    Look away

    When the sand runs out, rest your eyes and stretch for a minute or two.

  3. 3

    Lay it down for calls

    On its side during a deposition or a call, so it never runs while you can't take a break.

Questions

Does it need an app or my phone?

No. There is nothing to pair, connect or install.

How long is a block?

The glass runs for about 50 minutes, which is how often a short screen break is usually suggested.

Is it noisy or distracting?

It makes no sound. Nobody else in the office needs to know it is there.

What happens during a call?

Lay it on its side and the sand stops. Stand it back up and it picks up where it left off.
