tickline

Free online chess clock

Two tappable clocks for over-the-board chess — no download needed. Choose 3+2, 5+0 or 10+0, tap your own side to end your move, and the opponent's clock starts. The flag falls automatically at 0:00 with an audible alarm. Great for casual games, blitz puzzles and learning tournament pace.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use the clock?

Each side taps their own clock to end their move and start the opponent's clock.

What is an increment?

An increment adds a small amount of time (e.g. +2 s) after every move — Tickline supports the classic 3+2 preset.
