Hourglass Simple Light

The hourglass-simple-light icon represents a light or outlined simple timer or time measurement tool. This symbol is commonly used to indicate a duration or a waiting period with a subtle visual effect.

In software and digital interfaces, light hourglass icons are often used to signify that a process is taking time to complete or that the system is busy, with a focus on minimalism. For instance, in video games, a light hourglass icon might appear when a level is loading or when a player's action is being processed, providing a subtle visual cue. Similarly, in productivity apps like Trello or Asana, light hourglass icons can represent tasks that are in progress or have a pending status, with a focus on simplicity.

From a UX perspective, the hourglass-simple-light icon communicates that a process is ongoing and that the user needs to wait for its completion, with a visually subtle design. It helps manage user expectations and provides a clear visual cue about the system's status, reducing confusion and frustration.

Hourglass Simple Light is one of 9,161 icons in Phosphor, made by Phosphor Icons and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 256 × 256 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds HourglassSimpleLightIcon to components/icons/ph-hourglass-simple-light.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed HourglassSimpleLightIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Yes, if your project has @phosphor-icons/react: Hourglass Simple Light is `HourglassSimple` there, used as <HourglassSimple weight="light" />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Hourglass Simple Light icon, or any of 9,161 Phosphor icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 256 × 256 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Hourglass Simple Light", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. HourglassSimpleLightIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <HourglassSimpleLightIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Phosphor, Phosphor Icons and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are time, schedule, timer, loading, waiting and duration. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Hourglass Simple Light in another set.

Phosphor draws many icons in several styles: Bold, Light, Thin, Duotone and Fill next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Hourglass Simple Light's siblings in it.
