Tempo64

Make a chess video in 30 seconds.

Play a chess game inside Tempo64, or paste a game you've already played somewhere else, and the app turns it into a video ready for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or Twitter — vertical for Shorts or widescreen for long-form.

The sounds are what make it. Every check, capture, and checkmate gets its own sound effect — punchy, dramatic, sometimes goofy on purpose. Castling crashes. Captures chomp. Checkmate gets the slow, deep ring-out. Pick your favorites from a menu of ten.

TRAIN WITH PUZZLES

Solve the Puzzle of the Day or play an endless queue of tactics from Lichess's database. The difficulty adjusts to your level — your Elo rating updates after every puzzle. Solve a position you like? Turn it into a video on the spot.

PLAY WITHOUT LEAVING THE APP

- Play against the computer. Five difficulty levels, from Easy to Brutal. It "thinks" for a few seconds before each move so it feels like a real opponent, not an instant calculator.
- Pass the phone to a friend. Two humans, one board. The board flips between turns so whoever's playing always sees their pieces at the bottom.
- Play online with a friend. Create a game, share the 6-letter code, your friend types it in. No accounts. Free.

ALREADY HAVE A GAME YOU PLAYED?

Paste a chess.com link and Tempo64 looks up your moves automatically. Lichess works too.

MAKE IT YOURS

- Six board looks. Ten sound effects you can mix and match. Five pacing speeds so quiet stretches don't drag.
- A "climax teaser" plays your most dramatic move first — so people scrolling stop to watch.
- Big captures (a knight taking a queen, that kind of moment) splice in short cinematic clips with their own audio. (Studio.)
- Record a voice reaction on any move and Tempo64 weaves it in over the board.
- Studio subscribers can film a face-cam reaction that floats over the board in a little circle bubble.

CAPTIONS WRITTEN FOR YOU

Apple Intelligence (the AI built into your iPhone) suggests a punchy headline and a short caption for your post. Don't like it? Tap Regenerate. Copy. Post.

KNOW HOW GOOD YOUR MOVES WERE

Tempo64 grades every move you played using the world's strongest chess engine. Brilliant moves and blunders each get their own dramatic sound effect in your video. A small bar at the side of the board fills up to show who's winning.

GAME REVIEW

Tap the chart icon on any game. Walk every move on an interactive board, see a best-move arrow from the engine, and trace the advantage curve on a scrollable sparkline. Blunders are flagged — jump straight to where things went wrong. Free: one review per day. Studio: unlimited.

WIDGETS

Add a Tempo64 widget to your home screen. Small shows your daily puzzle streak. Medium adds today's board position. Large shows the full board so you can actually see the pieces. Streak updates every time you solve a puzzle.

YOUR GAME HISTORY

Every game you play against a bot and every puzzle you solve saves automatically to your library. Come back an hour later or a week later, tap the entry, and turn it into a video. Your last 30 days of games and last 30 puzzles are always there. Two tabs keep everything organized: Games & Puzzles on one side, rendered Videos on the other.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

Everything happens on your phone. Your videos, your voice clips, your captions — none of it goes through a server we run. Online multiplayer uses Apple's iCloud to sync moves between you and your friend. No tracking. No analytics.
