Turns Timer

About this app

Turns Timer is a multi-clock timer that can be used in games with time control where the players take turns. So it is basically a chess clock but with more that two clocks. The timer can be used in a variety of multi-player games to control the total time each player takes for his/her own moves.

Turns Timer is extremely easy to use. Just set up the timers (each one can be set with its own name and time) and start the first one. Then push the large button in the center of the screen to stop the current timer and start the next one, thus making it the next player's turn. If the current timer runs out, it gets excluded, letting the other players continue the game.

Some of the key features:
- simple yet elegant design;
- customizable sound;
- easy to set up and organize timers;
- an option to add increments for timers;
- an attack mode, that lets you manually select the next timer to switch to;
- timeline that shows how much time has passed for each turn.

Ratings and reviews

Great and simple and just the thing we need. One suggestion for a feature that I'd like to see is a multiplayer chess style timer, where you start with several turns' worth of time and switch players while you still have time remaining; and You'll return to that pool of time when your turn comes back around. This is great strategically where you have a pool of time from which to draw throughout a number of turns.

The best timer app for keeping players accountable during longer board games such as Twilight Imperium or Root. Highly recommend it! The one feature I wish the app had: an option to count down past 0:00. Our workaround right now is to have the timer count up and use (negative) increment. At the beginning we increment twice to give -10:00 to all, and every turn a player gets -5:00. If a player passes 0:00 we start complaining, but the timer doesn't stop and the player gets less time next turn.

Great app with great support. I had an issue trying to remove a players timer while not reseting all the timer counts, so I emailed the developer. He responded the next day with instructions on how to do what I wanted in the app, and said that there would be an update coming soon to make the function easier to perform. I liked this app before. Now I love it.
