Multiplayer chess clock for tabletop games
Use this multiplayer chess clock for chess variants, board games, card games, debates, and any turn-based game that needs a shared time limit. It is designed for casual games, tournament practice, classroom sessions, and multiplayer play on a phone or tablet.
Countdown mode is best when each player has a fixed budget and running out of time should remove or skip that player. Count-up mode is better when you want to measure how long turns take without enforcing an elimination rule, such as for teaching, playtesting, meetings, or slower strategy games.
The clock is intentionally simple. It does not implement chess increments, delay settings, federation rules, or official tournament controls. For official competitive play, use the clock format required by the event.
How the timers are calculated
The clock divides the configured total time across all players at reset. In countdown mode, each active player's remaining time decreases during their turn and expired players are skipped. In count-up mode, each active player's elapsed time increases.
The active player changes when you tap the next-turn button or a player tile. Pausing stops elapsed-time updates until the clock is started again. Resetting rebuilds the player timers from the current player count, mode, and total-time settings.
