hourglass done

That satisfying moment when the last grain of sand falls! This emoji shows a classic hourglass with all its sand settled at the bottom, a universal signal that time is officially up. It perfectly captures the feeling of a countdown reaching zero, a deadline being met (or missed!), or a long wait finally coming to an end. There's a real sense of finality and completion, like the universe just gave a definitive 'done' stamp.

Break this out when you're celebrating the completion of a big project, playfully reminding someone a decision needs to be made, or even dramatically signaling the end of a game round. It’s your go-to for those moments when you want to emphasize that a chapter is closed, a task is finished, or that the moment for action has passed. It’s a clear, elegant way to say 'the time has expired, and we're moving on!'
