Tickmate was born out of frustration.
Too many times we sat down for a casual blitz or rapid game, only to waste minutes searching for a decent chess clock app — bloated with ads, trackers, forced logins, or ugly interfaces that felt more like a mobile game than a serious tool.
We wanted something different: a chess clock that disappears into the game. Clean. Fast. Reliable. No distractions. No data collection. Just a timer that works the way real players expect.
Every pixel, every feature, every line of code exists only because it serves the player over the board. Nothing more, nothing less.
No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No cookies for tracking. A single HTML file you can save and use offline forever.
Per-player rotation, precise timing with performance.now(), sound & vibration feedback, FIDE-standard increment/delay modes — everything tuned for kitchen-table bullet to serious rapid games.
Crafted with ♟ in Beni Mellal — by players who love the game and hate complicated tools.
