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

Ratings and Reviews
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 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.
Developer Response ,
Glad you like it! Completely agree.
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!
