Chess Clock: Board & Go Timer for iPhone and Android
Chess Clock: Board & Go Timer puts a large, touch-anywhere game clock on one phone for chess, go, shogi and board games. It supports Fischer increment, Bronstein and simple delay, Japanese and Canadian byo-yomi, hourglass, multi-stage controls and sudden death. Two to six players can rotate through a game, receive individual handicaps, and review move counts or export the game history afterwards. Full-screen digits, an optional seven-segment theme, tap tones and last-five-seconds alerts make the clock usable across a table or in a tournament hall.

What is it?
Chess Clock: Board & Go Timer is an app for chess, go, shogi, and multiplayer board-game time controls.
What problem does it solve?
Physical game clocks can be hard to configure for byo-yomi, increments, or uneven players. This clock puts those controls on a large, touch-friendly display with move statistics.
What it can do
- Fischer increment — time added after every move
- Bronstein delay — get back what you used, up to the increment
- Simple delay — count down only after the delay expires
- Japanese byo-yomi — periods that reset each move
- Canadian byo-yomi — a block of time for a set number of stones
- Hourglass — your time flows to your opponent
- Multi-stage controls — "40 moves in 90 minutes, then 30 minutes"
- Sudden death, and any combination of the above
