ClockMaster is a clock timing software, in many ways similar to watch timegraphers, but specifically designed to work with mechanical pendulum clocks. The app analyzes the ticking sound of the escapement to determine the clock's running rate measured in Beats Per Hour (B/H). This rate is then compared to a specified Target Rate, and the Error is reported as Seconds Per Day fast or slow (±S/D).
The speed of a mechanical pendulum clock is not constant, fluctuating with age and wear, spring tension and even temperature. The ClockMaster app was created with a focus on accurate long-term measurements where traditional timers often do not function very well.
For the professional horologist or interested amateur, you can now test in the field — put the clock in exact beat and regulate the clock with just a few hours of testing. For increased rate accuracy and in depth investigation of clock movement's behavior, you can conduct long-term measurements for up to two weeks (ClockMaster Pro). Branded, printable PDF reports can be generated for each measurement, and the raw data exported as .csv file for graphing in a spreadsheet (ClockMaster Pro).
ClockMaster Pro (in-app upgrade) provides these additional features:
• Save and share branded, printable PDF reports for each measurement
• Export raw measurement data as a .csv file for spreadsheet analysis
• Conduct long-term measurements of up to two weeks

Great app, used it for years.
I wouldn’t be without this app, it works really well. It can be a fiddle getting the sensor in the optimum place but once there it works. The app can’t position the sensor for you - you have to do that yourself. For those saying the bpm fluctuates so the app is no good, bpm can fluctuate. That might be a slight tight spot somewhere, or simply a pendulum taking a while to “settle” or any number of reasons. This app is simply showing you what the clock is doing - you do need to understand what the app is telling you and you need to understand horology. Like any tool, you need to understand how to use it.
Juts works well easily and simply
I downloaded the app and used it to help me set up a pendulum clock
I have managed to set it to an accuracy of +0.2 seconds per day
That would have been impossible without this app.
So easy to use as well.
ClockMaster
This app is excellent. I work with clocks professionally and this app does the work of software costing 3 times as much. Great work.
Absolute con!
I even bought the expensive sensor!?? I fell for this hook, line and sinker!
It has no idea what constitutes a clock! Simple small ones, it can’t manage because there’s nowhere to clip the transducer! The microphone on the phone does bugger all other than compound the issue.
It can’t do larger ones unless you get them out of the case to get the mike on!!! Even then, it is confused by clicks from the movement.
It can’t distinguish tic toc from the cat with asthma four doors away.
It is completely useless with any kind of master clock because it cannot distinguish a click from a clonk!
I have been optimistic and regulated a few clocks with it! Absolute disaster! I can do vastly better by intuition over a couple of days! Its results are generally worse than educated guess work!
DO NOT PURCHASE!!!!!
Does work.
I use this app with a peterson tuner and by placing the clamp on the winding key find that it works very well without interruption from outside noises. As I have several clocks close by this was a problem with external mic. Would I recommend this yes in a clock beat I would, sorry! If you have trouble look at the tips within the App.

Great little app
Easy to use and graph outputs makes diagnostic much easier
Church Clock Regulation
Currently using to time a turret clock in local Church. 1.25 second beating pendulum. Crude adjustment via rating nut then this app clearly shows the effect of timing washers on the pendulum (old pennies used on the great clock at Westminster). Yet to try on smaller timepieces. May consider upgrading if further trials OK.
Brilliant! Great app
This is a simple-to-use app which does exactly what it says on the tin. No frills, straightforward user interface and it works very well. Has all the features any clock repairer would need. The auto calibration of BPM works perfectly. I look after numerous pendulum clocks as a volunteer in a museum, and this app will enable me to regulate the clocks easily and quickly. Many thanks!
mr
Guys this is awful. just use a stop watch and do adjustment
