Chess Clock & Game Timer vs Ply

Chess Clock turns your iPhone or iPad into the clock that sits between two players. Two huge tap zones, no menus in the way, and timing that stays exact from the first move to the last. FOUR TIMING MODES - Sudden death: the classic. Run out and you flag. - Fischer increment: time is added to your bank after every move you complete. - Bronstein delay: you get back what you spent on a move, up to the delay. - Simple (US) delay: your main time only starts running once the delay is used up. READY IN ONE TAP Blitz 3+2, Blitz 5+0, Rapid 10+0 and Classical 90+30 are built in. Build and save your own for club nights, with any name and an optional move-limit label. BUILT FOR THE BOARD - Both halves are mirrored, so the clock reads right-side up from either side of the table. - A move counter for each player. - Undo the last tap when someone hits the wrong half. - Pause and resume without losing or gaining a single second. - The screen never dims or locks during a game. - Close the app mid-game and pick the position back up where you left it. - Time odds for Black, an option for Black to move first, warning beeps at 60, 30 and 10 seconds, and time correction while paused EXACT, NOT APPROXIMATE The clock never counts ticks. Every reading is computed from timestamps, so a phone call, a notification or a trip to the home screen cannot make it drift. GAME HISTORY Games are saved when a flag falls or when you pick the result as you leave: the result, how long it ran, and how long each single move took for both players. Add a note, tag where you played, attach photos of the board or the scoresheet, and export the move times as a CSV file. CHESS CLOCK PRO Unlock three extra board themes (four with the free Classic) and three extra flag alert sounds (four with the free Classic Beep), and remove every ad. Pay once and keep it for good, or pick a weekly, monthly or yearly plan and cancel any time from your App Store settings. The clock, presets and history work completely offline. The free version shows ads, which need an internet connection (never during a game). No account, no sign-up, nothing to configure. Chess Clock is a timer for over-the-board play. It does not validate moves, enforce rules or record notation. COMMON QUESTIONS Which time controls does it handle? Sudden death, Fischer increment, Bronstein delay and simple US delay. Blitz 3+2, Blitz 5+0, Rapid 10+0 and Classical 90+30 are one tap away, and you can save your own. Does the clock drift? No. Every reading is computed from timestamps rather than counted ticks, so a call, a notification or the screen turning off cannot gain or lose a second. Someone tapped the wrong half — can we fix it? Yes. Undo takes back the last tap, and you can pause and resume without gaining or losing time. Can both players read it? The two halves are mirrored, so the clock reads right-side up from either side of the board. Each side also has its own move counter. Does it check whether a move is legal? No. It is a clock for over-the-board play: it counts time and moves, not pieces. Positions, rules and the result stay with the players and the arbiter. What is free and what does Pro add? All four timing modes, the presets, your own saved controls, time odds, the warning beeps and the game history are free. Pro adds three extra board themes and three extra flag sounds, and removes the ads.

Ply is the chess clock that never misses a tap. Open it, tap a time, and play: two taps to a running game. THE CLOCK • The switch happens the moment your finger lands, not when it lifts. Slap the whole half of the screen, with any number of fingers. • The time never drifts and never jumps: every move is measured on the phone's own clock, not counted in ticks. • The side to move is bright. The side that waits is dim. You can see whose turn it is from across the room. • At 10 seconds the clock turns red. Warnings at one minute, 30 and 10 seconds, a beep for each of the last 5, and an alarm when a flag falls. • A click on every move, made so that fast bullet taps do not cut it off. Loud Sounds for a noisy room. A light tap of the phone on each switch. • One small pause button in the middle, away from your hand. Turn on Hold to Pause, and a stray finger in blitz does not stop the game. • Add or take away time for a penalty, take back the last tap, restart, or end the game. • Upright, or on its side beside the board. On iPad too. TIME CONTROLS • Bullet, blitz, rapid and classical presets: 1+0, 2+1, 3+0, 3+2, 5+0, 5+3, 10+0, 15+10, 30+0. • Your own control: minutes and seconds, an increment, and its kind: Fischer, Bronstein or US delay. Save it as a tile. • Time odds: give one player more time than the other. • Keep Running After a Flag, for US Chess rules. AFTER THE GAME • A summary when a game ends: the time each side used, the average and the longest move, and a chart of the seconds for each move. • Your games stay on your phone. No account, no ads, no tracking. PLY PRO • Board games for 2 to 8 players: names and colors, one tap passes the turn. Time bank, time per turn, or count up. For Catan, Scrabble, Rummikub, backgammon, wargames and more. • Byo-yomi for Go and shogi: main time, then periods. • The FIDE tournament control: 90 minutes for 40 moves, then 30 more, with 30 seconds a move. • A mechanical clock face in 3D: hands, a button that goes down, and a flag that falls. • The OLED Black clock theme, wood-and-bell sounds, and a voice that says "one minute", "thirty seconds" and "ten seconds". • Every game in charts: games by week and by weekday, what you play, how your games end, and where your time goes.
