Chess Clock - Chess Timer

Chess Clock is a clean, easy-to-use two-player chess timer for over-the-board (OTB) games. Place your phone next to the board, tap to start, and each player taps their side after every move. Large, high-contrast digits face each player, so both of you can read your remaining time from across the table.

Play blitz with friends, bullet at a café, rapid at your chess club or long classical games. This game clock lets you set up the exact time control you need in seconds.

FOUR TIMING MODES
• Classic: a countdown for each player, with optional Fischer increment or delay
• FIDE: a tournament-style time control for long classical games
• Hourglass: the time you spend thinking flows onto your opponent's clock
• Time Per Move (TPM): every move gets its own fixed countdown

READY-MADE TIME CONTROLS
Start a game right away with built-in presets:
• Blitz 5|0
• Bullet 1|2 with a 2-second delay
• Rapid 10|5 with a 5-second Fischer increment
• Hourglass, 1 minute
• 30 seconds per move
• FIDE tournament, 1:30:00 per player

CUSTOM TIME CONTROLS AND TIME ODDS
• Create your own timers with quick picks, or fine-tune any value with the + and − buttons
• Add a Fischer increment or a delay to every move
• Give each player a different amount of time for handicap games (time odds), ideal when a stronger player faces a beginner or a parent plays with a child
• Save, edit, delete and drag to reorder your favorite time controls

BUILT FOR REAL GAMES
