About this site

Hold down to pour grains of sand, slowly shifting colour as you go. Layers become dunes, sunsets and strata. Meditative, tactile and oddly addictive.

When to open it

Give it a coffee break, about 5 to 15 minutes. It works on phones as well as computers, and it's silent, so it's safe at work or in class. Best for unwinding and slow minutes.
