About DuelTempo: Chess Clock
DuelTempo is a precision chess clock for focused over-the-board games. Pick a familiar bullet, blitz, rapid, or classical control, place your iPhone or iPad beside the board, and tap after every move. The default 3+2 clock and full-half tap zones get a game running in seconds. NOW ON IPAD DuelTempo runs natively on iPad. The clock fills the big screen in portrait or landscape, with large digits both players can read from across a club table. TRUST THE CLOCK DuelTempo saves a live game locally and reopens it safely paused after an interruption. Undo one mistaken clock press exactly. Correct either player's time, apply quick penalty adjustments, and review a clear rescue log. Calls and app switching can pause the game automatically, and leaving a live game requires confirmation. PLAY YOUR WAY The free clock includes common sudden-death and Fischer controls such as 3+2, 5+3, and 10+5, the Obsidian & Ember, Odyssey, and Classic themes, precise touch handling, corrections, recovery, undo, move counts, and statistics. DuelTempo Pro is one optional lifetime purchase. It unlocks eleven expressive themes: Marble, Gambit, Solstice, Aurora, Blueprint, Guilloché, Emberline, Deep Water, Signal, Shanti, and Modern, plus custom presets, time odds, multi-stage controls, Bronstein, US delay, and hourglass timing. There are no ads and no subscription. FOCUSED AND PRIVATE Game data and preferences stay on your device. DuelTempo has no account or ads. Made for home games, chess clubs, cafés, schools, coaching, and casual OTB play. Event organizers may require dedicated approved equipment; DuelTempo does not claim tournament certification.

What’s new
Version 1.3 · Updated October 23, 2026
New in 1.3: • Low-time warning: your clock turns amber when time runs low and red in the last 10 seconds, in every theme. Choose when it starts in Settings. • See your increment: each press shows the time you gain, like "+2s", and the time control is spelled out on the clock before you start. • Pro: edit and reorder your saved time controls. Three Pro themes, redesigned: • Deep Water: each half is a lit aquarium, and the water level shows your remaining time. • Emberline: glowing digits and a fuse that burns down with your time. • Modern: new, cleaner digits. Plus small fixes and improvements.
