About

Poker Blind Timer & Clock

Features
Read full description

Poker Timer runs the blind clock for your home game. Huge numbers you can read from the far seat, a structure editor for any format, and a payout split that ends the argument about who gets what. BLINDS EVERYONE CAN SEE The live level fills the screen: small blind, big blind, ante and a countdown nobody has to squint at. The next level sits underneath, so the table always knows what is coming. Portrait or landscape, on an iPhone in the middle of the table or an iPad propped up beside it. FIVE STRUCTURES BUILT IN Turbo for a quick night, Standard for a normal one, Deepstack for a marathon, plus Hyper-Turbo and Long Weekend. Or build your own: any blinds, any ante, breaks wherever you want them, levels as long or short as your game needs. BUILT FOR THE TABLE - Skipped a level by accident? Undo puts the clock back exactly where it was. - The screen stays awake while a tournament runs (you can turn that off in Settings). - Close the app mid-tournament and pick it back up: a running clock catches up to the real level and second, a paused one resumes at the exact second. - A structure generator builds the blinds from your players, starting chips and game length, and estimates when the game ends. - Breaks are a level like any other β€” the clock turns blue and everyone knows to get up. PAYOUT HELPER Type in the players and the buy-in and get the prize split to the cent. Standard home-game percentages for one to six paid places, and the amounts always add up to exactly the pot β€” no rounding leftovers, no arguing. POKER TIMER PRO Unlock unlimited saved structures, the two bonus templates, the Payout Helper and the display themes, and remove every ad. Pay once and keep it for good, or pick a weekly, monthly or yearly plan and cancel any time from your App Store settings. The clock, structures, history and generator work offline. The free version shows ads (never on the clock while a level counts down); purchases and the optional ad unlock need internet. No account, no sign-up. Poker Timer is a clock for games you play in person. There is no real-money play, no chips to buy, and nothing to wager inside the app. COMMON QUESTIONS Will the clock drift if the phone rings or the screen locks? No. Every reading is computed from timestamps, not from counted ticks, so a call, a notification or a trip to the home screen cannot move it. The screen also stays awake while a tournament runs. Can I build my own blind structure? Yes: any blinds, any ante, breaks wherever you want them, levels as long or short as your game needs. Five are built in, from a quick turbo to a long weekend. What if we skip a level by accident? Undo puts the clock back exactly where it was, to the second. Close the app mid-tournament and a running clock catches up to the real level and second; a paused one resumes where you left it. How does the payout split work? Type in the players and the buy-in. It splits the prize across one to six paid places using standard home-game percentages, and the amounts add up to exactly the pot, with no rounding left over. What is free and what does Pro add? The clock, the three built-in structures (Turbo, Standard and Deepstack) and the table display are free. Pro adds unlimited saved structures, two bonus templates, the payout helper and the display themes, and removes the ads. Does it need internet? The clock, structures, generator and history work offline, with no account. Ads, purchases and the optional ad unlock need an internet connection.
