Run your poker tournaments like a seasoned professional. Chip Up Poker Timer is the ultimate companion for home game hosts, league organizers, and Tournament Directors. With an advanced, lifecycle-resilient blind clock, player roster tools, and local screen synchronization, Chip Up brings casino-grade tournament management to your device. The Free Core Timer - Robust and Accurate * Bulletproof Blind Clock: Lifecycle-resilient wall-clock synchronisation keeps the countdown accurate down to the millisecond, even if the app goes to the background or your device sleeps. * Display Sleep Prevention: Automatic wakelock integration keeps your device screen active during active tournament play. * Customisable Blind Structures: Create custom structures with configurable small/big blinds, antes, levels, and break milestones. Includes pre-configured standard and turbo templates. * Dynamic Chimes and Text-to-Speech: Premium sound notifications (beeps, bells, fanfares) and high-quality voice announcements that dynamically read out level transitions (e.g., "Blinds are now 100 and 200, ante 25"). * Historical Archive: Log completed tournament stats, including game times, entries, total rebuys, and final placements. * Go Professional with the Premium Pack (Annual Subscription) Unlock the full power of Chip Up Poker Timer with our annual premium subscription, giving you ongoing access to professional director features: Local Multi-Device Screen Sync Run auxiliary timer displays for your players. Pair secondary devices (phones, tablets, or laptops running the app) in seconds using a secure 4-digit PIN over your local network. Paired screens display live synced countdowns, active player stats, and current blind levels in real-time. Visual Table Felts & Animated Seat Draws Say goodbye to manual seating assignments and chaotic table redraws. Our dynamic seating manager assigns seats round-robin across tables to guarantee balanced player counts matching official TDA guidelines. Experience a premium, animated virtual green-felt seating reveal. The app automatically prompts you when it is time for a single "Final Table" redraw. Advanced Player Pool & Import Management Store a permanent pool of players on your device and organize them into custom groups (ideal for league tiers, venues, or seasons). Import large rosters instantly by pasting the URL of a player roster or league table page. The app automatically fetches the page, lets you choose which HTML columns hold the name and member ID, runs a dry-run preview, and merges new players in a single transaction to prevent duplicates. Live Payout Calculation & Custom Structures Define exactly how your prize pool splits among top finishers. Save custom payout percentages up to 100 places, support fixed or percentage-based house cuts, and set custom buy-in amounts. During active play, the main Timer screen dynamically computes and displays live cash payout values in real-time as rebuys and entries increase the pool. Result Sharing Export and share final standings, total rebuys, and payout distributions using your native system share sheet. Formats clean text layouts perfect for posting to league forums, chat groups, or social channels. Technical Requirements & Offline Capabilities Offline-First Architecture: Core clock, structures, database, and chime notifications run 100% offline. No account sign-up is required. Local Area Sync: Multi-device sync runs entirely over local Wi-Fi or hotspots, consuming no internet bandwidth. Host and secondary devices must be on the same local network. External Sharing: Sending results via external apps (SMS, Email, WhatsApp) requires active network connectivity at the time of sending. Speech Availability: Voice announcements depend on your device's built-in system TTS engine. Voices and offline performance packages may vary by manufacturer.
