Tempo. Time, beautifully. A chess clock built for the way you actually play — across the table, across centuries of tradition. Tempo brings the feel of a tournament clock to iPhone and iPad, and reimagines it in iOS 26's Liquid Glass. ONE TAP. THE CLOCK CHANGES HANDS. You'll feel it. A precise haptic. A satisfying tap. The same elegant gesture chess players have used for over a hundred years, now in the device already in your pocket. TIME CONTROLS FOR EVERY GAME. • Sudden Death — for blitz, rapid, and classical. • Fischer Increment — to keep games breathing. • Bronstein Delay — for true tournament play. Every preset you'd expect. A custom mode for everything else. BUILT FOR TWO. Set Tempo on a table between you and your opponent. The top half rotates 180° so each player reads their clock right-side up. The active side rises. The waiting side rests. The state of the game is clear, even at a glance. DESIGNED IN LIQUID GLASS. Translucent panes that refract a warm walnut backdrop. Soft, refined cream typography. A queen overhead — the most elegant piece on the board. THE DETAILS THAT MATTER. • A red haze as time runs low. • A panic blink under the wire. • A heavy haptic and a clear chime when the flag falls. • Always-on display while you play. • Sound and haptics — independently silenceable. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT. No accounts. No tracking. No analytics. Tempo runs entirely on your device. Your games are yours alone. ONE TIME. YOURS FOREVER. A single purchase. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. No ads. REQUIREMENTS. Universal app for iPhone and iPad. Requires iOS 26 or later. Designed in Costa Rica.
