Poker Blind Timer vs PokerLight

You've got the chips, the cards, and the players. But every few minutes, someone asks: "What are the blinds now?" You check your notes, do the math, and the game grinds to a halt. Sound familiar? TablePilot replaces the chaos with a complete poker tournament director built specifically for home game hosts. Set up your tournament, register your players, and let the app handle the rest — blind levels, rebuys, payouts, all automatic. Made for Big Screens On iPad and the unfolded iPhone Duo, the timer stays large and in view while you manage players, payouts, and settings right beside it. Hide the side panel and the timer fills the whole screen — perfect for a display everyone at the table can read. Turn your iPhone sideways for a full-screen timer, too. Three Presets, Zero Setup Choose from Standard, Turbo, or Deep Stack tournament formats and start your game in seconds. Each preset is designed by experienced poker players with balanced blind progressions. Fully Customizable Blinds Build your own blind structure from scratch. Add levels, set durations, insert breaks wherever you want. Your game, your rules. Player Registration & Seating Register players, assign seats, and track who's still in and who's been eliminated. Manage your table with a tap, not a spreadsheet. Player Name History Previously entered player names appear as autocomplete suggestions the moment you start typing. Your personal address book is managed from Settings and syncs across iPhone and iPad via iCloud — your regulars are one tap away on any device. Multi-Table Assignment Running more than one table? Assign each player to a specific table and seat. The app validates seating conflicts automatically and suggests the next available spot. Toggle table mode on or off at any time — even mid-registration. Random Seat Shuffle Need to redraw seats mid-tournament? One tap, one confirmation, and every active player gets a new random seat. Works in both single-table and multi-table mode, so fair reseating is always a few seconds away. Rebuy & Add-on Tracking Track rebuys and add-ons per player with simple +/- controls. Set custom rebuy periods and add-on breaks. The prize pool updates automatically. Prize Pool & Payout Calculator Set buy-in amounts and let TablePilot calculate the prize pool in real time. Choose from preset payout structures or create your own — percentages adjust automatically. Never Miss a Level Change Configurable warnings at 10, 15, 30, or 60 seconds before each blind increase. Sound alerts, haptic feedback, and voice announcements keep the whole table informed — even when it gets loud. Drift-Free Timer The timer accounts for app backgrounding and device sleep. Come back after checking a text and the clock is exactly where it should be. Session recovery works even after force-quitting the app. Live Activity and Dynamic Island See the current blinds and remaining time right on your Lock Screen or in the Dynamic Island. No need to unlock your phone or switch apps mid-hand. iCloud Sync Your tournament data syncs seamlessly across iPhone and iPad via iCloud. Start setup on one device and run the game on another. Built-In Breaks Schedule break levels between rounds. The timer handles transitions automatically so your players know exactly when to stretch their legs and when to sit back down. English and German Full localization for English and German, including voice announcements in both languages. Dark Mode Design A premium gold-on-dark interface that looks sharp in any lighting — from bright kitchens to dimly lit card rooms. PREMIUM FEATURES TablePilot is free to use with up to 6 players. Upgrade to Premium to unlock unlimited players, rebuy & add-on tracking, the payout calculator, and the player name address book. Available as a monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
