About
Chess Clock Timers is the tournament-grade chess clock for serious players. Full FIDE and USCF time control support — Fischer increment, Bronstein delay, and simple US delay — in a beautiful, dead-simple timer with DGT-style ergonomics.
Tap anywhere on your half to switch turns — the way you would a real chess clock. Only your half responds during your move, so accidental mistaps during your opponent's turn are impossible.
BUILT FOR REAL PLAY
• Tap-anywhere targets — slap your side with the back of your hand, just like a physical chess clock
• Only the active side responds — no catastrophic mistaps during your opponent's turn
• Center pause that's deliberately hard to hit by accident mid-game
• Audible flag fall even with your phone on silent — tournament reliable
• Top half rotates 180° so both players read upright across the board
• The clock keeps running when you switch apps or lock your phone — just like a real chess clock
EVERY TIMING MODE
• Fischer increment — time added at the start of each move (FIDE standard)
• Bronstein delay — used time returned, capped at the delay (cannot accumulate)
• Simple US delay — clock pauses for N seconds before ticking each move (USCF standard)
• Sudden death — pure countdown, no time added
