Tick Tock Poker Clock is a focused poker timer for home games, where reliability matters more than endless configuration menus. Set up a tournament in seconds and let the app run the night. Building a structure is fast. Choose a format inspired by the World Series of Poker or the European Poker Tour, pick a faster paced turbo, or build something for your own game. Blinds are not locked to simple doubling either: a level can run 200/300 the way real deep stack ladders actually step, and chip up breaks retire the small denominations once nothing needs them. Antes are built in. Run a big blind ante or traditional antes, and the creator works out sensible amounts for every level. Already have a structure you like? Fill Antes adds them in one go, and you can still adjust any level by hand. Turn antes off and they are hidden, not erased. The clock itself is bold and readable from any seat at the table. Choose the look that suits your game: the original ring with the blind schedule either side, a rolling number wheel, or a Now & Next board that shows the coming level and how long until the next break. You can switch mid-game without stopping the clock, and the controls change color with the game: red during a level, green on a break, orange before a scheduled start. It speaks up when it matters. Every level is announced out loud with its blinds and ante, with a warning two minutes before the blinds go up, so nobody is caught halfway through a decision. Breaks are announced too, along with when play resumes. Give a break a message, such as when the kitchen opens or which chips to color up, and it stays on screen for as long as the break lasts. Some games wait for the table. Turn on Pause Between Rounds and the clock holds each new level until you press play, so the blinds go up when everyone is ready rather than in the middle of a hand. Hold after every level, or only after breaks, so play runs straight through and waits only for everyone to sit back down. A free companion app puts the clock on your Apple TV. This is not screen mirroring. The TV draws the clock itself, in whichever face you chose, so your iPhone or iPad stays free to use, and there is nothing to configure beyond both devices being on the same network. You can also run the game from an iPhone. Pause, resume, skip forward or back, change the clock face on the big screen, or start the next tournament from wherever you are sitting. When the game ends, the remote gets out of the way by itself. Made for iPhone Duo as well: the clock fits the tall inner screen, the half folded phone and the outer display. If the app is ever closed mid-game, it picks up where you left off. And a scheduled start counts down to the first level and starts it on time, with a spoken warning two minutes before. The app is free to use, with a full tournament structure included that you are free to edit. Premium adds the blind structure creator, multiple saved tournaments, antes, a choice of clock faces, Pause Between Rounds, scheduled starts, voice selection, Apple TV syncing and the iPhone remote, available monthly, annually or as a single one time purchase.
