Chess Clock – time games of over-the-board chess

Chess Clock is a simple application to provide time control for over-the-board chess games.

Intended for mobile use, players select the time control settings desired for their game, then the black player taps their clock to start white’s timer. After each player’s turn, they tap the clock to start their opponent’s, until the game is finished or one of the clocks reaches zero.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

  • Simple interface.
  • Time control method – increment, Bronstein delay, and simple delay.
  • Restart the timer.
  • Option to mute the alert sound.
  • Keyboard shortcuts
