You watch the tutorials. You read the Reddit posts. You show up to the table with good intentions. But when you're done playing, you have no idea if you actually got better. Pool Drill Tracker fixes that. Pick a drill, run it, tap your makes and misses, and the app keeps score. Do it again next week and you can see the difference. That's it. No video analysis, no AI, no subscription. Just a dead-simple way to turn random practice into something you can measure. WHAT'S INSIDE - 12 built-in drills across Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced — straight-in pocketing, draw shots, cut angles, banks, position play, and more. - Add your own drills if you practice something specific. - Build multi-drill sessions or start a single drill from the library. - Tap to log each shot — the app counts makes, misses, and tells you if you passed. - Stats that actually matter: sessions per week, accuracy by drill, and your current day streak. WHO THIS IS FOR You play at a bar, a pool hall, or on your home table. You're past the "just hitting balls around" phase and you want structure, but you don't need a $200 coaching app with features you'll never touch. You want to know: am I getting better? This app is your practice notebook — except it does the math for you. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the app, pick your drills, and hit Begin. 2. Tap Potted or Missed after each shot. 3. When the drill finishes, the app shows your score and whether you passed. 4. Check Stats to see your accuracy trends and practice streak over time. All data stays on your phone. No account, no cloud, no tracking. Just you and your table. BUILT BY A PLAYER Pool Drill Tracker was built by a pool player who wanted a simple practice tracker and couldn't find one that wasn't bloated, expensive, or abandoned. This is the app I wanted to exist. Free to download. Free to use.

About

Shot Clock

Read full description

Shot Clock gives every billiards shot a clear time limit, whether you are practising or playing at the table with another player. YOUR TIME AT THE TABLE • Set your shot time and break countdown • Start, pause and resume the clock • Reset and immediately start the next shot • Choose each extension’s duration and how many each player receives • Personalise player names and restore extensions for a new rack SEE AND HEAR THE COUNTDOWN A large countdown and coloured ring show the remaining time. Signals sound at 10 seconds, during the final 5 seconds and when time expires. On iPhone and iPad, the countdown and signals continue when you switch apps or lock the screen. LIVE ACTIVITIES See the remaining time on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island on compatible iPhones. From iOS 17.2, pause, resume, use either player’s extension, or reset and start the normal shot time from the Live Activity. iOS controls when the display updates; use the in-app buttons for the most immediate response. OPTIONAL VOICE CONTROL Control the clock in English or German with commands such as “Start”, “Pause”, “Resume” or “Extension Player One”. Recognition runs on the device and requires compatible local speech recognition plus microphone and speech permissions. The app must be active for voice control. Manual controls remain available without voice support. YOUR STYLE Choose English or German and a Light, Dark or Midnight appearance. Shot Clock supports iPhone and iPad in portrait and landscape. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED No account, advertising or in-app purchases. Settings stay local. The app does not save voice recordings or upload speech data to its own server. PLEASE NOTE Live Activities require iOS 16.2 or later; Dynamic Island requires a compatible iPhone. Signal sounds use media volume and the selected audio output. Audio interruptions pause the clock. Fully quitting the app stops playback; a fresh launch does not restore a running countdown. Support: shotclock@danielsorger.de
