BlindClock vs StackPilot Poker Timer

BlindClock is a blind timer for poker tournaments: home games, friendly tournaments, and small club events. It keeps the blinds on schedule so the host can play too. Build your own structure: set each blind level, add breaks, and turn on Ante or Big Blind Ante. During the game one screen shows the current level, time remaining, current and next blinds, elapsed time, and the estimated finish. The clock keeps time with the screen off and after a force quit, and picks up where it left off. If you would rather not build a structure by hand, enter the player count, starting chips, and how long you want the game to run. The generator produces a casino-style structure with breaks. Save it as a template and use it again next week. NEW: CLOCK THEMES AND TABLE BRANDING (PRO) Seven themes, from Midnight to Daylight. A theme changes the colors of the whole app, not only the clock screen. Put your room name and logo on the big screen. Every theme can be previewed for free. NEW: SETTLEMENT ASSISTANT (PRO) Count each player's stack by denomination in the chip-counting sheet and save your chip set. Before the pool is split, BlindClock compares the chips entered with the chips in play. BIG SCREEN MODE (PRO) Connect an iPhone or iPad to a TV or projector with a cable or AirPlay. The big screen shows the countdown, blinds, and level progress for the whole room, and your device works as the remote. Reconnecting does not reset the tournament. ADVANCED PAYOUTS (PRO) Split the prize pool by ICM equity when players make a deal, set your own payout percentages, and save payout templates for your regular game. LIVE TABLE STATS Average stack, players remaining, and average stack in big blinds, updated at every level. Tap once when a player busts. PAYOUT CALCULATOR Enter buy-ins, rebuys, and the prize split to get the payouts. No spreadsheet needed at the end of the night. Key features: • Custom blind levels, each with its own duration • Breaks wherever you want them • Ante and Big Blind Ante • Blind structure generator • Live table stats: average stack, players remaining, average stack in big blinds • Payout calculator for buy-ins, rebuys, and prize splits • Estimated total tournament duration • Current and next blinds on screen • Start, pause, resume, previous level, next level • Large Time Bank button, tap to reset • Live Activity and Dynamic Island; full-screen StandBy clock while charging • iPad table display: a large landscape countdown the whole table can read • Template sharing: export a tournament and AirDrop it to a friend • iCloud sync between iPhone and iPad, free for everyone • Sound alerts for level changes and time warnings, with a mute option • Keeps the screen awake • Saved tournament templates • Available in 12 languages Made for: • Home poker games • Friendly tournaments • Small club events • Hosts and dealers who need a simple tournament clock The free version includes the timer, Live Activity, structure generator, payout calculator, table stats, iCloud sync, and up to 5 saved custom tournaments. BlindClock Pro is a one-time purchase with no subscription and no ads. It removes the template limit and adds Big Screen Mode, advanced payouts with the settlement assistant, and clock themes and branding, on every device signed in to your Apple Account. BlindClock handles timing, blinds, and table stats. It does not track individual players, seats, or rankings, and it is not a full tournament management system. Requires iOS or iPadOS 18.6 or later.
