Chess Clock – Fischer Timer is a clean, over-the-board chess clock built for real games: big times, one tap per move, and controls you can hit without looking away from the board. - Dual clocks, your rules Two full-height panels show each side’s time at a glance. Start a game with a tap, then tap your side when you finish a move. Pause anytime from the center bar. - Time controls that match how you play Choose presets or build your own: main time, increment, simple delay before main time counts down, and optional second-stage bonuses. Pick Fischer or Bronstein (or no increment) from a clear menu. Need different controls for each player? Set User A and User B independently when “same time for both” is off. - Feedback you can tune Separate sounds for moves and time-up, optional low-time alerts at your thresholds (sound, haptic, and a quick flash), and accent colors so the active side is obvious across the table. Optional ± second buttons for on-the-board adjustments. - Made for club nights and home games No account. No sign-in. Open the app, set your time, and play. When time runs out, the losing side shows a clear Lose state so there’s no doubt the flag fell. Download Chess Clock – Fischer Timer and keep the focus on the position, not on fiddling with the clock.
