Android is almost here โ€” and you can help. ๐Ÿ™ Before Google will publish the app, it needs 12 testers opted in for 14 days, and I'm stuck at that gate. If you have an Android phone, two quick steps get VisionChess onto your device and push it toward a public release for everyone:
  1. Join the testers group with your Google account.
  2. On that phone, open the Play opt-in link and install. Please keep it for ~2 weeks โ€” thank you!

What is VisionChess?

Point your phone at any real chess board and VisionChess instantly detects every piece, tracks your moves, and runs a chess clock โ€” all on-device, no internet required.

How to set it up

You don't need anything except your phone. A tripod helps, but isn't required.
