About

A chess clock for board games, for 2 to 12 players, so games don't drag on.

Set each player's game reserve and the time added every turn, put the players in turn order, and start. When your turn is over, tap anywhere on the screen and the next player's clock starts.

During the game the screen shows only whose turn it is, in their color, and their time left in large numbers. A small alert above it warns when time runs low. A chime plays at every turn change, and the added time counts up on the clock so everyone sees it.

When a player's turn time runs out and their reserve starts draining, a short warning sounds.

Pause stops the clock and turns the screen grey. While paused you can add or take away 10 seconds. Undo takes back a mistaken tap, and that player's clock picks up where it stopped. Hold Pause for 5 seconds to end the game and see how long each player took, then rank the players or add scores and screenshot the result to share it. Turn on "Save unused turn time" for a chess-style increment.

Pick your game to load settings made for it, for over 140 games: a clock sized to how long the game really runs, plus its rounds and turn order. It shows the longest the game can take for your number of players, and you can still change anything. Rounds are optional: count each go-around or play until everyone passes, and change the turn order between rounds. Each player can have a color, including colorblind-safe ones or an exact hex code.

The screen stays on for the whole game. Works offline. No account, ads or in-app purchases, and your games stay on your device.
