When I tried to host a home poker tournament myself, I realized there were no timer apps that were both well-designed and pleasant to use. Most existing tools were overly complex or visually outdated. I wanted something more intuitive. An app that felt good to use. That desire led me to create Poker Timer Pocket, designed from a player’s perspective with real-world use in mind. Poker is about focus, flow, and enjoying the moment with others. So the structure manager should be smooth, minimal, and stress-free. Poker Timer Pocket was built to make that experience possible.

Poker Timer runs your home game tournament so you can play it. It does the two things most blind timers get wrong. First, the next blind level is always on screen — no surprises when the clock hits zero. Second, it splits your chips for you: enter your players and your chip set, and it hands you a clean starting stack. RUN THE CLOCK • Next blind level always visible — see what's coming • Big full-screen countdown, readable across the table • Tap to pause, skip or rewind a level with one button • Screen stays awake, works in portrait or landscape SOUND THAT ACTUALLY WORKS • Three level-up alert sounds — pick and preview • Spoken blind announcements and a 5-second warning • Alerts fire even when your phone is in your pocket CHIP CALCULATOR • Enter players and your chip set → suggested starting stack • Shows exactly how many of each chip per player • Tells you what's left in the box when chips don't split evenly BLIND STRUCTURES • Built-in Turbo, Standard, and Deep Stack presets • Build your own ladder — blinds, antes, breaks, minutes • Drag to reorder, save unlimited structures EVERY FEATURE INCLUDED The timer, the sounds, the chip calculator — every feature works without a purchase. The app includes ads, and no full-screen ad appears while the tournament clock is running. To remove ads, open Settings > Remove ads and choose a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or one of three lifetime options. The lifetime options differ only in support amount; the benefit is the same. Earlier Pro purchases can still be restored in Settings. Perfect for home games, poker nights, and small tournaments.
