Super GameTimer is a native iPhone turn timer for board games and chess-clock style play. Configure a match, keep both time banks readable at a glance, and pass the turn with one large control—so you can focus on the game, not the phone. SET UP YOUR MATCH Choose seconds per side (from one second up to two hours). Name two to eight players, add or remove seats, then start when everyone is ready. Optional advanced timing adds tournament-style rules without cluttering the main screen. CHESS-CLOCK STYLE TIMING • Dual banks: see both sides’ remaining time while only the active player is highlighted. • One-tap pass: end your turn and hand the clock to the next player in order. The pass control shows your remaining time and who receives the turn next. • Fischer increment: add a few seconds to your bank each time you pass, when you want that classic digital-clock behavior. • Simple delay or Bronstein-style delay: let a delay window run before your main bank counts down—pick the style that matches how your group plays. DURING PLAY • Sub-second precision on the active clock so you always know where you stand. • Pause and resume from the Match menu—End game and Restart live there too, away from the main pass button so you do not trigger them by accident. Restart keeps the same setup and names; End game returns you to setup when the match is over. • Minute reminders as the main bank crosses whole minutes, plus faster ticks in the last twenty seconds so the final moments feel clear. • When time hits zero on the active side, you get a short alert sound and haptic feedback; the match then shows that time has expired and passing is disabled until you end or restart. PROFILES & LOOK Save game profiles and timing presets to start familiar setups quickly. Adjust appearance options so the timer matches how you like to read the room—evening game night or a bright café table. RELIABLE WHEN LIFE INTERRUPTS If you briefly switch apps or lock your phone, the app reconciles with real time when you return so the countdown stays fair. PRIVACY & ACCOUNTS No sign-in and no cloud account are required. Your profiles and settings stay on your device. Whether you play chess, Go, bridge, word games, or anything where fair turns matter, Super GameTimer keeps time clear and passing simple.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Super GameTimer at none against Lumen Garden's 8. Super GameTimer also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 days). Lumen Garden's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
