Your Move is a beautiful, no-fuss turn timer for board games — a chess clock for 2 to 10 players. Give everyone their own countdown, keep game night moving, and never argue about whose turn it is again. No accounts. No sign-up. No internet required. Just open it and play. HOW IT WORKS Each player gets their own region of the screen showing their remaining time. Tap your area to start your turn, tap again to pass to the next player. Whoever's active counts down — everyone else is frozen. It's the classic chess-clock experience, built for the whole table. BUILT FOR THE TABLE • 2–10 players, each with a name, color, and clock • Text rotates to face every seat, so players on all sides read their own timer right-side up • Adaptive layout fills the screen and re-divides instantly when you rotate the device or add a player • Big, legible digits you can read across the table PLAY IT YOUR WAY • Turn order: clockwise, counterclockwise, custom drag-to-reorder, or free-for-all • Add extra time each turn (increment) and a delay before the clock starts • Out of time? An alarm sounds and the clock keeps counting into the negative — no one gets eliminated • Give more time, add or remove a player, change the order, or undo a mistap — all mid-game NEVER LOSE A GAME • Every move auto-saves, so you can close the app and pick up exactly where you left off • Save multiple games and reload them anytime • Duplicate a setup to reuse your favorite configuration for the next game night MAKE IT YOURS • Light, dark, and colorful themes • Custom accent colors and a color for every player • Adjustable font sizes • Turn-switch clicks, time-out alarms with selectable sounds, and haptics — all with a volume knob and toggles Free to play with a single ad on launch. Prefer none? A one-time "Remove Ads" purchase turns them off for good. Perfect for strategy games, party games, tournaments, speed rounds, and anyone who wants to keep game night fair and fast. Grab your friends. It's Your Move.
