BlindClock is a focused poker tournament timer built for running smoother home games, friendly tournaments, and small poker events — for any host or dealer who just needs to keep the blinds on schedule. Create your own tournament structure: set every blind level, add breaks, and enable Ante or Big Blind Ante. Once the clock starts, a single screen shows the current level, remaining time, current blinds, the next level, elapsed time, and estimated total duration. The clock stays accurate when the screen is off and survives a force-quit, so you always pick up right where you left off. Don't want to build the structure by hand? Enter your player count, starting chips, and target length, and the blind structure generator creates a clean, casino-style structure — breaks included — in one tap. Save it as a template and reuse it next week. NEW — BIG SCREEN MODE (PRO) Plug your iPhone or iPad into a TV or projector — or AirPlay it — and the big screen becomes a full-room tournament clock with a dedicated big-screen layout: giant countdown, blinds, and level progress. Your device becomes the remote control. Disconnect and reconnect any time — the tournament never resets. NEW — ADVANCED PAYOUTS (PRO) Chop the prize pool by ICM equity when players talk a deal, set custom payout percentages, and save payout templates for your regular game. LIVE TABLE STATS As the blinds climb, see the average stack, players remaining, and the average stack in big blinds — live with every level. Tap to bust a player when they're knocked out. PAYOUT CALCULATOR Enter buy-ins, rebuys, and prize splits and get the payouts on the spot — settle up at the end of the night without a spreadsheet. Key features: • Custom blind levels with flexible per-level durations • Manual break setup • Ante and Big Blind Ante support • Blind structure generator — one tap from player count to full structure • Live table stats — average stack, players remaining, average stack in big blinds • Payout calculator — buy-ins, rebuys, and prize splits • Estimated total tournament duration • Current and next blind display • Start, pause, resume, previous level, and next level controls • Large tap-to-reset Time Bank • Live Activity & Dynamic Island, with a full-screen StandBy clock on a charging iPhone • iPad table display — a giant landscape countdown the whole table can read • Template sharing — export a tournament and AirDrop it to a friend for one-tap import • iCloud sync — templates follow you across iPhone and iPad, free for everyone • Sound alerts for level changes and time warnings, plus a mute mode • Keep-screen-awake support • Save tournament templates for repeated use • Fully localized in 12 languages Designed for: • Home poker games • Friendly tournaments • Small club events • Dealers or hosts who need a simple tournament clock • Players who want clear blind, chip, and action timing without unnecessary setup The free version is fully playable: timer, Live Activity, structure generator, payout calculator, table stats, iCloud sync, and up to 5 saved custom tournaments. BlindClock Pro is a single one-time purchase — no subscription, no ads — that removes the template limit and unlocks Big Screen Mode and advanced payouts, on all your devices. BlindClock focuses on timing, blinds, and table stats. It is not an individual player-management system (no named players, seating, or rankings) and not a full tournament back office. It is built to do one job well: keep your poker tournament moving. Requires iOS / iPadOS 18.6 or later.
