DuelTempo is a precision chess clock for focused over-the-board games. Pick a familiar bullet, blitz, rapid, or classical control, place your iPhone or iPad beside the board, and tap after every move. The default 3+2 clock and full-half tap zones get a game running in seconds. NOW ON IPAD DuelTempo runs natively on iPad. The clock fills the big screen in portrait or landscape, with large digits both players can read from across a club table. TRUST THE CLOCK DuelTempo saves a live game locally and reopens it safely paused after an interruption. Undo one mistaken clock press exactly. Correct either player's time, apply quick penalty adjustments, and review a clear rescue log. Calls and app switching can pause the game automatically, and leaving a live game requires confirmation. PLAY YOUR WAY The free clock includes common sudden-death and Fischer controls such as 3+2, 5+3, and 10+5, the Obsidian & Ember, Odyssey, and Classic themes, precise touch handling, corrections, recovery, undo, move counts, statistics, and head-to-head scores. DuelTempo Pro is one optional lifetime purchase. It unlocks a time report after every game, your full game history, and thirteen expressive themes: Marble, Gambit, Solstice, Aurora, Blueprint, Guilloché, Emberline, Deep Water, Signal, Shanti, Modern, Kings, and Tournament LCD, plus custom presets, time odds, multi-stage controls, Bronstein, US delay, and hourglass timing.
