Sandglass logs each removal request under the TAKE IT DOWN Act as it arrives, runs its 48-hour clock, tracks the identical copies found and taken down, and will not close a request until the image is down, the copies are searched and the requester has been told.
Opens in this browser with an invented platform already in it. No account, no email address, nothing installed. No image is ever kept.
The problem
From 19 May 2026 the FTC enforces Section 3 of the TAKE IT DOWN Act: a platform that hosts what its members post must take down a reported intimate image, and known identical copies, within 48 hours of a valid request - and post its removal process where people can find it.
Not a reminder. Close refuses, naming the reason, while the image has no removal time, nobody searched for identical copies, a copy found is still up, or the requester has not been told. A request is declined only if it is not valid, with the reason written and the requester told what is missing. A closed request stays closed. There is no override.
How it works
Who, how to reach them, where the image is, and whether it is signed with a good-faith statement. The clock starts.
The removal time, every identical copy found and its own removal time.
When the requester was told. Only then does it close.
What it will never do
Sandglass holds addresses and times, nothing more.
Pricing
For one site.
Every request, every copy.
Monthly, per site. Your bank statement says Sandglass Software. Your licence key is on your screen as soon as the payment confirms.
Pay by card through Square, on Square’s own checkout page — we never see or store your card number. Or pay with bitcoin through our own bitcoin server. Either way you come back here, type your business name, and your licence key is on the screen — no email, no waiting on us.
Questions
No. Only the address where it was and the times. Nothing that could be seen.
A signature, enough to find the image, a good-faith statement that it was shared without consent, and a way to reach the person.
No. It is the record and the gate in front of closing a request.
The demo on this page is the whole program, running on invented records. Paying gets you a licence key — one line of text, on your screen as soon as the payment confirms: the checkout brings you back to our thank-you page, you type your business name and the key appears. Paste it into the program and from then on it keeps your own records. Until then, nothing you type into it is kept.
The key is checked inside the page, on your own machine. It never calls us, so there is still no account and nothing about your business goes anywhere. If you ever stop paying, your records stay exactly where they are, read-only, and Export still hands you every one of them.
One request is past its 48 hours, one is down with a copy still up and the requester never told, and one is missing its signature.
