Chess Clock

A two-player game clock for chess, checkers, debates or any turn-based game. Set a starting time (and an optional move increment), press Start, then each player taps their own clock after their move to pass the turn.

Set a starting time, then tap Player 1's side to begin — White moves first.

How it works

Press Start game, then tap the side of the player whose turn just finished — that stops their clock, adds any move increment, and starts the opponent's clock. Only the active player's time counts down. When a player's clock reaches 00:00, their panel turns orange and the game stops automatically.

Tips for best results

  • Agree on the time control before starting.
  • Tap your side to end your move and start your opponent's clock.

Good to know

Can I add a move increment?

Yes. Set the starting minutes for each player and an optional increment in seconds per move.
