Chess Clock by Chess.com
Chess Clock by Chess.com turns a phone into a two-player timer for an in-person game.
Choose it for configurable increments, delays and multi-stage controls.
Both players can see and tap large timers, and asymmetric settings support handicap games.
Keep in mind: The clock pauses if the app is interrupted, which may matter under event rules.
