About Tempo - Game & Chess Clock
Tempo turns your phone into a shared game clock for the whole table. Put it down in the middle, and every player gets their own clock rotated to face their seat. When it's your turn, your side counts. Tap it to pass to the next player. No passing the phone around, no fumbling with a chess clock built for two. Perfect for chess, but built for any turn-based game - board games, card games, word games, or anything where keeping time fair matters. TWO WAYS TO PLAY > Stopwatch - each player counts up from zero. See who's taking the longest. > Countdown - each player starts with a set time and counts down, with an optional Fischer increment added after every turn. Run out? Tempo keeps counting into overtime instead of knocking you out, so your game is never decided by a single buzzer. MADE FOR THE TABLE - 2 to 6 players, each tile angled toward their seat - Tap-to-pass turn in clockwise order - Custom times and increments, plus one-tap presets - Per-player names and colors - A clean center hub for pause, reset, and settings - The screen stays awake the whole game No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Just a clock everyone can see.
