I have an app on my Android called "Chess Clock for Android" and it has several types of time controls available.
Sudden Death, Simple Delay, Fischer, Bronstein, Scrabble and Japanese Byo-Yomi.
I don´t know what some of these mean, but the Fischer Time control is the same as the Arimaa time control, except that you can´t define the percentage of remaining move time that gets added to your reserve.
The app also has no mechanism for preventing a player to think for his whole reserve time, but I don´t think this is such a big issue. This part of the Arimaa time control is there for the spectators and for protecting the players from using too much of their time.
Players who go over the time limit for one move will have it more difficult later anyway.

Any recommendation? I expect, there´s numberless products. Important for Arimaa would be to reach as close as possible the standard game time convention such as 60s/4m/100/0/4h/4m, i.e. a clock providing the move time, a starting reserve, maximum reserve for one move and move rest time accumulation would be fine.
Maybe some smartphone Arimaa clock would be best (Thiagor used a chess clock App on his smartphone).. |

For iPhone/etc. I've been using the "A1 Game Clock", which has specialized support for Arimaa time controls. I think it was free.

I'm from germany too but munich is not very close to here. I think roundabout 4 hours.
I will probably visit a friend living near munich around easter. But I'm not sure about that yet. If so I could attend such a meeting.
