## What is ChessTimer?

ChessTimer is the chess clock built to outclass the rest — and it's completely free, with no ads and no tracking.

EVERY TIME CONTROL, DONE RIGHT
• Fischer increment, Bronstein delay, simple (US) delay, or sudden death
• Multi-stage tournament controls (e.g. 40 moves in 90 min, then 30 min, +30s)
• Per-side handicap — give each player a different clock

ONE TAP TO PLAY
• Bullet, Blitz, Rapid and Classical presets ready to go
• Build any custom cadence and save your favourites

MADE TO LIVE ON YOUR TABLE
• Oversized, glanceable digits
• Sound + haptic feedback on every move and a flag alert
• Screen stays awake during a game; auto-pauses when interrupted
• 22 themes in four collections — classic, meme, illustrated and photo — each with its own artwork, typography, sounds and ambient effects
• Zen photo themes (lagoon, mountains, forest, aurora) with an elegant analog dial
• Pick your style in a swipeable theme gallery on first launch
• High-contrast colourblind-friendly theme included

WORKS FOR MORE THAN CHESS
