Read full description

A real chess clock, built for real chess players. Most apps stop at Fischer, swap your color every turn, and put Bronstein behind a paywall. Flag does all of it, without a subscription. FIVE INCREMENT MODES โ€ข Fischer โ€” increment added after every move. OTB and online standard. โ€ข Delay (USCF) โ€” clock pauses for a fixed delay before counting down. โ€ข Bronstein โ€” used time returned at end of move, capped at the increment. โ€ข Hourglass โ€” time flows from one side to the other. โ€ข Byo-yomi โ€” Japanese overtime periods after main time runs out. DISPLAY & TAP โ€ข Split or Color display modes. โ€ข Tap your own half (chess tradition) or tap anywhere โ€” your choice. โ€ข Persistent White/Black sides โ€” they don't swap based on turn. ALSO IN FLAG โ€ข Full game history with per-move timing โ€ข Stats dashboard โ€” averages, move-time charts, time-trouble heatmap โ€ข Pause, resign, agree-draw shortcuts โ€ข Customizable haptics and sounds โ€ข Custom time-control presets โ€” bullet, blitz, rapid, classical, byo-yomi PRO โ€” ONE-TIME UNLOCK. NO SUBSCRIPTION. 7-day trial of every Pro feature. After that, a one-time unlock keeps everything forever. No subscription. No ads. Pay once, own it. Pro adds Bronstein, Hourglass, and Byo-yomi modes; 12+ premium clock themes (Wood, Tournament felt, Brass DGT, Carrara Marble, Library, Fischer 72, Havana, Zen, Frost, Streamer, Neon and more); unlimited custom presets; and premium switch sounds.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Game at none against Flag's 1. Game also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). Flag's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 12 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
