Run poker night like a professional tournament director. StackPilot is a premium tournament clock built for the table — a gorgeous, room-readable timer designed iPad-first, with animated blind changes, break handling, and a refined look in felt green and gold. THE SEAT DRAW CEREMONY Stop scribbling names on napkins. StackPilot deals branded cards face-down onto a virtual felt table, then flips them one by one to reveal each player's seat — with haptics, chip drops, and the Ace claiming Seat 1 and the dealer button. It's the first big moment of the night, before the first hand is even dealt. A CLOCK EVERYONE CAN READ • Big, bold timer built for TV mirroring and across-the-room glances • Animated level changes with sound and voice announcements • Automatic breaks, with "play resumes at" times • Paused state that's unmistakable from the couch • Keeps the screen awake through the whole game FULL TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR TOOLS (PRO) • Player roster — entries, re-entries, add-ons, and eliminations • Optional results calculator — set final placements and work out the split however your group decides (1st / 2nd / 3rd and beyond) • Blind structure editor — Standard, Turbo, Deep Stack presets or fully custom levels, breaks, and antes • Seat draw ceremony with dealt cards and dealer button • Save your setup as a template and reuse it every game night • Remote control — pause the clock or eliminate players from your iPhone while the iPad stays on the table • Player database with lifetime stats, win rates, and a league leaderboard • Complete tournament history FREE FOREVER The tournament clock, blind structures, and setup basics are free — no account, no ads, no subscription. One $4.99 purchase unlocks everything else, forever, with Family Sharing. BUILT FOR YOUR GAME Whether it's a casual home game or your league's championship, StackPilot handles dead-button rules, house rotations, late entries, and the blind-movement debates that stall every home game (there's a built-in Poker Rules reference for that). StackPilot is a tournament timer and organizer for in-person games. It involves no wagering, no real money, and no simulated gambling of any kind. Shuffle up and deal.

Poker Timer

The clock that runs your home game. Tell it how many players and how long you want the night to last. It builds the blind structure, schedules the breaks, plans the chip colour-ups and tells you roughly when you will finish. Three taps and you are playing. ON THE TABLE A big landscape countdown you can read from the far seat. Blinds now and next, level number, time to the break, players left, chips in play, and the average stack in big blinds — the number everyone actually asks about. The screen stays awake all night. NOTHING GETS LOST Close the app, take a call, reboot the phone. The tournament comes back to the exact second. Change the structure while the clock is running: stretch a level, insert a break, nudge the time a minute either way, jump forwards or back. Nothing restarts. BUILD IT YOUR WAY Four ready structures, or your own with any blind values, any ante mode — big blind ante included — any per-level duration, and breaks with your own labels. Save as many as you like. PRIZE POOL Track the pool through rebuys and add-ons, then split it across the right number of places, rounded to real notes so nobody is counting coins at midnight. No account. No subscription. No player limit. No permissions. Works on a plane. Poker Timer is a clock and a calculator: it never accepts, holds or moves money, and no game is played inside it. Free.
