Turn Sync is a shared clock for board games. One player hosts, everyone else joins from their own phone, and the whole table sees the same turn timer. HOW IT WORKS • The host creates a room and sets a time limit per turn • Everyone joins by scanning the QR code or typing the 4-letter room code • Tap when you are done, and the clock moves to the next player WHILE YOU PLAY • One clock, everywhere. The timer runs off the server, so it stays correct after a screen lock, a trip to the background, or a brief drop in signal • Overtime is impossible to miss: the screen turns red, with a sound and a buzz • The host can pause, skip a player, or drag the turn order into shape mid-game • Shared-turn mode for games where everyone plays at once — each player marks themselves ready WHEN THE GAME IS OVER • Per-player statistics: average turn, total time, and how often the limit was passed No account, no sign-up, no ads. Turn Sync signs in anonymously — you pick a display name, and that is all.
