Built for tournament play

Every detail tuned for serious chess. Nothing in the way.

Tournament-correct

Fischer, Bronstein, and simple-delay timing match FIDE and USCF rules to the millisecond. No surprises mid-event.

Three timer modes

Increment, delay, sudden death — pick the rule your event uses. Switch on the fly between games.

No mistaps in time trouble

The whole player half is one giant tap target. Slap the screen. The opponent's half stays inert until it's their turn.

Plays on silent

Flag-fall and low-time chimes cut through the silent switch — like a real tournament clock. No more missed flags.

Low-time warnings

Amber at 30 seconds. Red at 10. Distinct haptics so you feel time trouble before you see it.

Curated presets

14 ready-to-use time controls — bullet to classical, plus US-delay G/30 d5 and friends. Build your own with one tap.

Every time control

From 1-minute bullet to 6-hour classical. The rules your tournament uses, ready out of the box.

How it works

Three taps to first move. No setup. No account.

1

Pick a time control

Tap to choose any preset. Tournament-ready in seconds.

2

Tap to start

Either player taps their half. The opposite clock starts running.

3

Tap on every move

Whoever just moved taps their half. Their clock pauses. Opponent's runs.
