Pool Shot Clock is a simple, distraction-free shot clock for pool and billiards practice. Keep your shots on time, train your pace, and play like the pros. Tap to start the countdown, and the app counts your shot time down to zero. As the clock runs low it warns you with on-screen color changes and sound, then sounds a final buzzer when time is up. A one-tap extension lets you add extra time once per shot, just like in match play. Your iPhone is the clock, and the optional Apple Watch app acts as a remote and a mirror so you can start, stop, and restart from your wrist while the phone does the timing. FEATURES - Clean, large, glanceable countdown that's easy to read across the table - Clear phase changes: normal, warning, and foul, with color and sound - Sound plays even when your phone is on silent, so you never miss the buzzer - One extension per shot to add time, just like tournament rules - Optional Apple Watch companion: control the clock from your wrist - Works in both portrait and landscape FREE AND PRO - Free: a fixed 45-second shot time, with everything you need to practice - Pro (one-time purchase): set a custom shot time and extension time, each from 25 to 60 seconds in 5-second steps PRIVACY No accounts. No tracking. No analytics. No ads. The app does not collect any data. Perfect for pool, billiards, snooker, and cue sports players who want to practice with discipline and tempo.
