♟️ CHESS CLOCK

Two players, one device. Tap your clock when your move is done.

Press either player clock to start that player’s time.

Time control

The simplest way to play timed chess online

A chess clock should not need an instruction manual. ZaynClock's chess clock gives you two big tap targets, one for each player, and rotates the top clock 180° so the player on the other side of the table reads their own time right-side-up. Set a time control, then tap the player who moves first to start that player's time. After each move, the active player presses their own clock to stop it and start the opponent's clock.

You get all the popular formats out of the box — 1+0 bullet, 3+2 and 5+0 blitz, 10+5 and 15+10 rapid, plus full custom controls. The clock supports Fischer increment, so the side that just moved gets a few extra seconds added to their time. When time runs out, the flag falls and we visually highlight which player ran out first.
