Chess Clock app icon

Your half. Their half. Game on.

A minimal two-player chess clock for iPhone and iPad. Tap your half to pass the move — that is the whole interface.

What it does

  • Two sides, one screen

    The display splits in half and the opponent’s clock is rotated to face them, so a phone flat on the table reads correctly from both chairs.

  • Fischer increment

    Set base time and seconds-per-move independently. Blitz 3 + 2, Rapid 15 + 10, Classical 30 + 0, or anything you dial in yourself.

  • Save your own presets

    Keep the time controls you actually play. Swipe to edit or delete them.

  • Works anywhere

    No internet, no account, no sign-up. Everything runs on the device, and the screen stays awake while the clock does.

  • Free, and it stays free

    No ads, no subscription, no locked features. There is an optional one-time tip, and it unlocks nothing.

  • Collects nothing

    No analytics, no tracking, no data leaving your device — your saved controls included.
