What it does

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Free chess clock apps are often ad-cluttered or app-store-only. So, I built Chess Clock Online — a browser-based timer, zero sign-up, zero ads. FIDE-standard Bullet/Blitz/Rapid presets, Fischer/Bronstein/simple delay modes, FIDE multi-stage controls, and a Face-to-Face mode that flips the screen 180° for two players sharing one device. Works offline once loaded. Try it for your next OTB game — feedback welcome!

Free online chess clock & timer app. Bullet, Blitz, Rapid, Classical controls with Fischer/Bronstein/delay increments and FIDE rules. No sign-up.

Bullet, blitz, rapid and classical time controls with real Fischer, Bronstein and delay increments, FIDE-standard multi-stage controls, and a face-to-face mode built for two players sharing one screen. We looked at what existing free chess clocks get right — and what they leave out. Competitors only offer a plain Fischer increment. We add Bronstein delay and US/simple delay too. Set a second time control that kicks in after a move count, matching FIDE-standard multi-stage formats. Flip the top clock 180° so two players sharing one tablet can both read their own time right-side up. Chess Clock Online is a free chess clock that runs in your browser — no download, no account, and no ads…from chessclockonline.com

    Hi HN! I'm the developer of rdx, a mildly popular ad-free, privacy and user friendly Reddit client. This time, I made something for a very specific use case: solving chess puzzles with no internet. Why? Well, my Wi-Fi is terrible in the bathroom—and that's where I do some of my best thinking. I tried printing out “mate in X” puzzles to solve offline, but they weren’t fun without interaction. So I built OffChess. OffChess is an iPhone/Android app that contains over 100,000 chess puzzles, fully offline and completely ad-free. You can solve puzzles by category (Mate in…

  • OwnTime – a chess clock for your day's prioritiesSep 2026 · owntime.app · ▲118

    I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up. One…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
