Chess Timer – Master Your Moves, Perfect Your Timing
Timing is everything in chess. Whether you’re battling over the board in a classical tournament or playing blitz in the café, your decisions aren’t just measured by precision—they’re measured by time. Chess Timer brings that same thrill and control to your phone or tablet with a clean, reliable, and modern design built for serious players and casual enthusiasts alike.
With Chess Timer, you can simulate real tournament time controls anywhere. Tap to start your opponent’s clock, pause the game with a single touch, or reset instantly for your next match. Every second counts, and every tap matters. Designed to feel like a real wooden chess clock but with the accuracy and convenience of digital timing, this app helps you sharpen your time management and discipline in every match.
FEATURES
• Simple Tap Controls – Start, pause, and switch turns effortlessly with intuitive tapping.
• Dual Timer Display – Two large countdown timers representing each player, visible from any angle.
• Move Counter – Track how many moves each player has made during the game.
• Blinking Warning Mode – The active player’s timer flashes red and plays a warning sound in the last 8 seconds, so you’ll never lose track under pressure.
• Sound Alerts – Optional beeps notify you in the final seconds (can be muted anytime).
• Pause and Resume Anytime – Perfect for analysis, teaching, or casual games.
• Reset Button – Restart both timers instantly for the next round.
• Screen Always On – Keeps your display active while the timer runs—no interruptions.
• Elegant Dark & Light Themes – Focused visuals that look great in any environment.
• Offline Use – No internet connection required. Play anywhere, anytime.
HOW IT WORKS
Tap the center play button to start both timers. The first tap activates the top clock, counting down your opponent’s time. Tap the active section when your turn ends—it stops your timer and starts theirs. Each player’s clock runs alternately, ensuring fair timing just like in over-the-board tournaments. The middle timer keeps track of total session duration, while move counters update automatically.
When only 8 seconds remain, the timer turns red and plays a short beep each second—a psychological nudge that builds focus and tension, just like a real match clock. If you need to take a break, tap pause; everything freezes instantly. When ready, resume or reset with a single tap.
FULL CONTROL IN YOUR HANDS
Unlike physical clocks, Chess Timer gives you total flexibility. You can adjust time limits, increments, and delay rules before starting, experiment with different formats, or train under faster conditions to sharpen your reflexes. For coaches and clubs, it’s a reliable companion for training sessions and tournaments.
WHY USE CHESS TIMER?
Because time isn’t just a rule—it’s part of the strategy. Learning to balance deep calculation with time pressure is what separates good players from great ones. This app helps you practice that discipline anytime, anywhere. Whether you’re preparing for tournaments, teaching beginners, or simply enjoying a friendly match, Chess Timer gives you the professional precision you need without the hassle of carrying a physical clock.
PERFECT FOR:
• Club tournaments and friendly games
• Blitz, bullet, and rapid formats
• Chess coaching and training
• Timing other two-player board games (Go, Shogi, Checkers, etc.)
• Players who want accuracy, speed, and reliability in one app
Your Time, Your Move, Your Victory
With Chess Timer, every game becomes a test of both mind and time. Stay sharp, stay fast, and never lose on the clock again.
