Read full description

Chess Clock Timers is the tournament-grade chess clock for serious players. Full FIDE and USCF time control support — Fischer increment, Bronstein delay, and simple US delay — in a beautiful, dead-simple timer with DGT-style ergonomics. Tap anywhere on your half to switch turns — the way you would a real chess clock. Only your half responds during your move, so accidental mistaps during your opponent's turn are impossible. BUILT FOR REAL PLAY • Tap-anywhere targets — slap your side with the back of your hand, just like a physical chess clock • Only the active side responds — no catastrophic mistaps during your opponent's turn • Center pause that's deliberately hard to hit by accident mid-game • Audible flag fall even with your phone on silent — tournament reliable • Top half rotates 180° so both players read upright across the board • The clock keeps running when you switch apps or lock your phone — just like a real chess clock EVERY TIMING MODE • Fischer increment — time added at the start of each move (FIDE standard) • Bronstein delay — used time returned, capped at the delay (cannot accumulate) • Simple US delay — clock pauses for N seconds before ticking each move (USCF standard) • Sudden death — pure countdown, no time added EVERY OFFICIAL PRESET, OUT OF THE BOX Bullet: 1+0, 2+1 Fischer Blitz: 3+0, 5+0, 3+2 Fischer, 5+3 Fischer Rapid: 10+0, 15+10 Fischer, 25+10 Fischer Classical: 60+0, 90+30 Fischer (World Championship) USCF: G/30 d5, G/60 d5, G/90 d30 CRAFTED FOR TIME PRESSURE • Digits shift amber at 30 seconds, critical red under 10 seconds • Optional chime at the low-time thresholds • Crisp haptic feedback on every move • Optional tap sound for confirmation • Move counter shown alongside the active clock • Light, dark, and system-matching themes Save your own custom time controls in any mode and any duration — Fischer, Bronstein, simple delay, or sudden death.
