100% The Best Poker Timer for Texas Hold’em Your game. Your blinds. Your rules. A professional poker timer and tournament clock for Texas Hold’em, built for home games, poker nights, and players who take their tournaments seriously. It keeps track of the blinds, announces the levels, warns you when time is running out, and occasionally tells you what you are doing wrong. A Poker Clock That Actually Looks Good Most poker timers look like they were designed for a spreadsheet. This one was not. Built for iPhone and iPad, with a large, easy-to-read display, smooth animations, and premium themes that make your poker table feel a little more like a real poker room. Choose your look. Start the game. Let the chips do the talking. Your Very Own Tournament Director You could appoint someone to sit there all night watching the clock. Or you could let the app do it. The voice announcer calls blind changes, round updates, and important time warnings. It is clear when it needs to be clear and has just enough attitude to keep things interesting. Because apparently someone has to tell everyone that the blinds are going up. Build the Tournament Your Way Turbo? Deep stack? Something completely ridiculous you invented at 2 AM? Go for it. Create your own poker tournament structure or start with a preset. Set the small blind, big blind, ante, and duration for every level. You can also: • Change rounds manually • Pause and resume the tournament • Skip levels instantly • Set an unlimited final round • Configure your own blind structure • Choose different tournament timings You are in control. The timer is just here to make sure everyone follows the rules. Keep the Table Moving Someone taking five minutes to decide whether to call 200? Not anymore. Use the built-in player timer and give players 30, 60, or 90 seconds to make their move. There is always one. Everything You Need at the Table • Professional poker tournament clock • Texas Hold’em blind timer • Large, high-visibility display • 3-minute and 1-minute warnings • Voice announcements in 6 languages • Player decision timer • Custom blinds, antes, and round durations • Multiple premium themes • iPhone and iPad support • Landscape mode • AirPlay support • Works completely offline • No account required • No server dependency From a casual poker night with friends to a serious home tournament, this poker timer keeps the game running while you focus on the cards. No spreadsheets. No complicated setup. No one needs to be the guy watching the clock. Just start the tournament, grab your chips, and try not to bust.

Turn your TV into a personal art gallery. Open Frame is an independent app that sends your own photos to your TV's art gallery over your home Wi-Fi — no cloud account, and nothing ever leaving your local network. If you have an art-mode TV on your wall and you've been looking for a simple, private way to get your personal photos onto it, this is for you. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Send photos from your iPhone straight to a compatible TV on your Wi-Fi • Crop and resize automatically to match the TV's 4K display • Choose from your TV's built-in matte styles and colors (modern, shadowbox, flexible, panoramic, triptych, and more) • Preview how your photo will look with each matte before you send it • Rotate and adjust portrait or landscape photos for the best fit • Browse and manage what you've already sent — select or remove images • HEIC, JPEG, and PNG photos all supported (HEIC is converted automatically) WHY PEOPLE USE OPEN FRAME • Private — your photos travel only between your iPhone and your own TV on your local Wi-Fi; they are never sent to any server • No account required — just open the app and connect • No tracking, no analytics — your photo library is your business • Works with the art-mode TV you already own HOW IT WORKS Open Frame scans your home Wi-Fi to find a compatible TV on first launch. From there, pick a photo, pick a matte, and send it to the TV's art gallery. It's that simple. SUPPORTING THE APP Open Frame is free to install and free to use — uploads are never gated or interrupted. A small banner ad appears on a few screens, and a one-time $1.99 purchase removes it forever. Either way, your photos go directly from your iPhone to your own TV; ads are served separately and never see your photos. WHAT YOU NEED • A 4K television with a built-in art or gallery mode, on the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone • That mode switched on • Local Network permission, so the app can find the TV on your Wi-Fi Not every art-mode television is supported. If Open Frame cannot reach yours, your television manufacturer's own companion app remains the supported way to transfer images. HAVE FEEDBACK? Open Frame is actively developed. Use the built-in "Report a Bug" option to send suggestions or issues directly to the developer. --- Open Frame is an independent app developed and published by Raylytics. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise associated with any television manufacturer. All product names and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
