What is Dunarium?

Dunarium is a relaxing falling sand toy app for iPhone and Android. You tilt the phone and real gravity pours thousands of sand grains through gel and rising bubbles inside a glass vessel. The scenes run as a live simulation of the device's real orientation, so what you see is generated in the moment rather than played from a recording. Pour and stir the sand with a finger, or shake the phone to churn a new landscape. As the sand moves, a procedural ASMR soundscape of ticks, bloops, and churns is generated. Dunarium is available on iPhone and Android. Its tagline is "Relaxing falling sand toy app."

What the numbers do not cover:

  • Controls: device tilt drives a real-time gravity simulation. Freeze gravity anytime, and "Make this upright" sets any resting angle as level.
  • Interaction: pour and stir the sand with a finger, or shake the phone to churn a new landscape.
  • Look: layered sand, viscous gel, and rising air bubbles inside glass vessels, plus a random look roll.
  • Moments: Zen (slow drifting gravity), Ambient (dim bedside scene with a clock), Sleep (a timer that fades light and sound out), and Focus (a sand hourglass ending in a soft chime). Sleep and Focus durations use a recents list plus an hours:minutes:seconds picker.
  • Portrait: turns a photo into sand that holds still until you tap it.
  • Clips: record with the soundscape baked into the video, plus a caption editor and an animated end-card showing the look used ("Made by @handle in Dunarium app").
  • Privacy: no ads, no account, and it works offline after installation. Your camera frames and sensor readings stay on the device.
