I have a chess clock on my iphone but it’s hard to use during an otb tournament because how do I switch it to Shredder and take it to the bathroom without my opponent noticing

You should get someone to proofread your website.

Should probably put somewhere that it works completely different on a mobile device than it does on a computer. 

The UI for a full computer is kind of useless - doubtful that I will have a computer sitting next to the chess board and if I did I would find it harder to hit individual keys rather than hitting the space bar or, even better, ANY key on half the keyboard to switch sides. 

The right player has to hit 8,9,0,i,o,p,j,k,l,; to stop their clock/switch clock. That means they have to make sure they DON'T hit -,=,"delete", [,],\,',"return"",", ., /, "shift". 

On a regular chess clock it is kind a combination of muscle memory and peripheral vision to reach out and hit the single button/switch to stop my clock, now I need to look for correct key to do that. 

Just some thoughts.

Interesting concept. Using a computer or laptop keyboard and screen as a giant chess clock.

Why did you not make the ENTIRE left side of the keyboard as the "button" for player 1. And the ENTIRE right side of the keyboard as the "button" for the player 2? Instead of just 123qwweasd and 890iopkl; ?  It will be easier for the players to hit the correct button without looking.

One thing I just noticed - on the computer you do not press one of the keys to start the clock you have to click the side that has the first move. Then you move to the keys to switch sides. 

Huh?

Suggestion - when you drop to less than 10 seconds include tenths of seconds, so 0:09.5.
