The chess clock built for serious over-the-board play. Whether you're running a blitz match at the coffee shop or a classical tournament at the club, Chess Clock Pro gives you precise, reliable time control with zero fuss. EVERY TIME CONTROL YOU NEED Bullet: 1+0, 2+1 Blitz: 3+0, 3+2, 5+0, 5+3 Rapid: 10+0, 15+10 Classical: 30+0, 60+30, 90+30 Pick a preset and start playing in seconds. Your last-used time control is remembered so you can jump right back in. THREE INCREMENT MODES - Fischer: Time added after each move - Delay: Grace period before your clock ticks down - Bronstein: Time bank up to the increment value Most chess clock apps only support Fischer. Chess Clock Pro handles all three — the same modes used in FIDE-rated tournaments worldwide. DESIGNED FOR REAL GAMES - Tap to switch — responsive controls with debounce protection against accidental double-taps - Move counter for both players - Low-time warnings at 10s, 20s, 30s, or 60s — you choose the threshold - Fractional seconds displayed under 20 seconds for precision timing - Screen stays awake during play — no interruptions mid-game - Pause and resume anytime - Game-over screen with final times and results LOOKS GREAT, FEELS RIGHT Clean, modern interface with a monospace display built for readability at a glance. Choose Dark, Light, or System theme. Clock tap sounds and haptic feedback make every move feel satisfying. Turn them off if you prefer silence. PRO FEATURES Unlock the full clock with a one-time purchase: - Custom time controls — set any base time and increment you want - Delay and Bronstein increment modes - Classical time control presets - Unlimited time control combinations Perfect for tournament directors, chess coaches, and players who need specific time settings for their club or event. NOT JUST FOR CHESS Chess Clock Pro works beautifully as a game timer for Go, Scrabble, Shogi, and any two-player board game that needs a countdown clock. If your game needs a timer, this is it.
