Time Glass

The time-glass icon represents an hourglass, a symbol of time management and measurement. It originated from ancient time-keeping devices and is often used to signify time constraints or limitations. In modern contexts, it is frequently used in digital interfaces to convey waiting periods, loading times, or scheduling.

The time-glass icon appears in various software and platforms, such as project management tools like Trello, Asana, or Jira, where it is used to represent deadlines, time estimates, or task durations. It is also commonly seen in online calendars, scheduling apps, and time-tracking software.

From a UX perspective, the time-glass icon communicates a sense of urgency or temporal constraint, helping users understand that time is limited or that a process is taking longer than expected. This icon helps users plan and manage their time more effectively, making it an essential element in user interface design.

Time Glass is one of 799 icons in SmartIcons Glyph, made by SmartIcons and released under CC BY SA 4.0. It is drawn on a 17 × 16 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 TimeGlassIcon to components/icons/si-glyph-time-glass.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 TimeGlassIcon 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.

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 Time Glass icon, or any of 799 SmartIcons Glyph 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 17 × 16 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="Time Glass", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. TimeGlassIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <TimeGlassIcon 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.
