ChessTimer: Chess Clock Design

The free chess clock: Fischer, Bronstein & delay, tournament controls, handicap — and 22 stunning themes with their own art and sounds. No ads, no tracking.

ChessTimer is the chess clock built to outclass the rest — and it's completely free, with no ads and no tracking.

EVERY TIME CONTROL, DONE RIGHT • Fischer increment, Bronstein delay, simple (US) delay, or sudden death • Multi-stage tournament controls (e.g. 40 moves in 90 min, then 30 min, +30s) • Per-side handicap — give each player a different clock

ONE TAP TO PLAY • Bullet, Blitz, Rapid and Classical presets ready to go • Build any custom cadence and save your favourites

MADE TO LIVE ON YOUR TABLE • Oversized, glanceable digits • Sound + haptic feedback on every move and a flag alert • Screen stays awake during a game; auto-pauses when interrupted • 22 themes in four collections — classic, meme, illustrated and photo — each with its own artwork, typography, sounds and ambient effects • Zen photo themes (lagoon, mountains, forest, aurora) with an elegant analog dial • Pick your style in a swipeable theme gallery on first launch • High-contrast colourblind-friendly theme included

WORKS FOR MORE THAN CHESS Go, Scrabble, debate, or any two-player turn-based game.
