• New players now start on Ply Pro: their first 3 clock games come with Walnut & Brass, every other Pro face and the full record after each game. Then it's one payment to keep it, or the free clock as before. • Every time control is still free, forever. • Bug fixes and stability improvements.
Lay your phone flat between two players and play. Ply is a chess clock built to feel like a real one: a heavy press you can feel, a rocker that tips to the side that just moved, and a flag that really falls when time runs out. The far player's digits face them, and the screen never dims mid-game. Ply keeps time, not score: every chess, go and shogi time control, a radial turn timer for up to 8 players, and a real sand hourglass. EVERY TIME CONTROL, FREE • Sudden death, Fischer increment (after or before the move), Bronstein delay and simple (US) delay • Multi-stage controls by move count, byo-yomi with a spoken count (in your language or in Japanese) for go and shogi, and Canadian overtime • Word-game overtime: at zero nobody flags, and the clock counts on in minus so the table can score the penalty • Sand Duel: one hourglass between two players, where every second you think pours into your opponent's side • FIDE/USCF-style time controls, named in plain words, so everyone agrees on the rules before the first move • Move counter, undo the last press, and time correction while paused • Silent mode for tournament rooms, a talking clock, large-tap mode and a High-Contrast face ROUND TABLE (PRO) Time a whole board-game table of 2 to 8 players on one dial. Every name faces its seat, the current player's segment lights up, and a tap in the centre passes the turn. Per-turn limits, a time bank for each player, or no limit at all, with turn stats at the end that show who took the longest. A REAL HOURGLASS The Glass tab is a sand timer made of real, falling grains. Turn your phone over and the sand starts to run; tilt it and the sand follows. Classic durations are free; Hourglass Pro adds any length, six sands and three glasses. CLOCKS WORTH LOOKING AT (PRO) Walnut & Brass with an analog dial and a falling flag, Bakelite, Tournament LCD and anodized metals. Aluminium, Night and High-Contrast are free. MADE FOR THE TABLE • Flat between you, or standing beside the board in landscape, like a real clock • A game survives your phone closing the app: it comes back paused, right where you were • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Siri, Shortcuts, the Action Button and a Control Center control • A game card after every game, with each move's think time, ready to share • Works offline. No account. No ads. No tracking. • For casual, club and teaching play. Rated events may require an approved clock. HONEST PRICING The complete two-player clock, with every time control, is free forever. Ply Pro adds Round Table, the Pro faces, your full game history and any hourglass. It's a single one-time purchase, never a subscription, and it works with Family Sharing. Your first game in every Pro mode is on us.
