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.

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, and the total display shows the sum of elapsed player time.
