This app is free software. Its source code is available under the Apache License 2.0.
A chess clock made for blitz
- Defaults to 5+3 Fischer timing: 5 minutes + 3 seconds per move
- FIDE-compliant: initial time for 5+3 is 5:03, not 5:00
- Privacy-friendly: no ads, no permissions
Fast and intuitive controls
- Touching the screen switches to the next player
- Horizontal and vertical dragging set the time and increment
- Haptic feedback is enabled by setting the ringtone to vibrate
- Back gestures pause and reset the clock
Robust time implementation
- Uses the most precise time source available on the device
- Clock implementation tested with 100% code coverage
Free and secure
- Free software with reproducible builds
- Meets Android 15 security requirements
- Enables memory tagging on compatible devices
The app can be installed from four different sources:
- F-Droid: built and signed by the developer and verified by F-Droid to correspond to the available source code.
- Accrescent: built and signed by the developer.
- Play Store: built and signed by Google who can modify the app to optimize its performance, security and/or size.
- GitHub: built and signed by the developer but requires Obtainium to update automatically.
As the app is signed using the same private signing key on all sources, it can be updated using a different source to the one it was installed from. For example, an app installed from F-Droid can be updated to a newer version downloaded from the Play Store.
