Editor's Overview

Backgammon Clock is a game helper application developed by Hans de Zwart, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.1 weighing in at 1015.72 KB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 1015.72 KB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "Hans de Zwart" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

A backgammon clock and scorekeeper for two players sharing one phone between them.

The app asks for no permissions at all. There is no network access, no analytics, no accounts, no ads, and nothing to configure before you can use it. The whole clock is a single HTML file inside the app.

Features

- Large area with the remaining total time/delay time for this move. Tap on your half to end your turn and start your opponent's clock.
- Set the number of points to play for (1, 3, 5, 7, …, 29).
- Set the reserve time per point (e.g. 2 minutes or 3 minutes), in 15-second increments.
- Set the delay (free seconds every turn which don't carry over to the next turn), in 1 second increments.
- Choose 1 of 5 colour schemes.
- Turn sounds (for the turn change, when the delay runs out, and when the time runs out) on or off.
- Pause/play the clocks.
- Number of moves for this game and current score (when playing a multi-point match) are always shown.
- Once a game is done, click the score icon in the middle to set the score. The clocks stay at their current time.
- Adjust the clocks from the score sheet, if necessary.
- Press the reset button twice (within 2 seconds, so you can't press it accidentally) to reset the clock and scores and start a new match.
- Keeps running in the background, returns to the last known clock timings and scores after a crash or forced quit.
- The screen stays awake while you play.

Functional design is by Hans de Zwart, partially inspired by the open sourced Chess.com clock. Code is by Claude Opus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Backgammon Clock free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Backgammon Clock require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Backgammon Clock safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Hans de Zwart. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Backgammon Clock?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
