Feels like the real thing
The whole side is the button — tap it, slap it, palm it. A deep click, a proper clack, and a flag that falls. Timing is timestamp-based, so it never drifts.
Chess clock & timer
Duo turns your iPhone or iPad into the clock beside the board. Tap anywhere on your side — even a full-palm slap counts. White plays on paper, Black plays on ink.
Built for the board
The free clock is complete: every essential below is included, forever.
The whole side is the button — tap it, slap it, palm it. A deep click, a proper clack, and a flag that falls. Timing is timestamp-based, so it never drifts.
Sudden death, Fischer increment, Bronstein, simple delay, multi-stage FIDE controls, per-player handicap and hourglass. Byo-yomi and penalty overtime with Pro.
A red glow, chimes at 60 and 30 seconds, a per-second tick under ten, and haptics you can feel through the table. Never lose on time in silence.
Lay the device flat and each half rotates to face its player — a tournament clock sitting beside the board. Works on iPhone and iPad.
Every game ends with a shareable game card — winner, moves, think times and the clock race in one designed image. Post it or save it.
Game history, think-time habits and head-to-head records for every opponent. Duo records every game from day one, so Pro unlocks your past games too.
