EightNine vs Shot Clock

A scoresheet that survives the match. EightNine keeps score for 8-ball, 9-ball and 10-ball on your phone. It opens straight into scoring — no account, no sign-up, no ads — and it keeps scoring when the Wi-Fi drops or there is no signal at all, which is the normal condition in most rooms rather than the edge case. IT DOES NOT LOSE YOUR MATCH Every tap is written down as it happens, so the app rebuilds your match rather than remembering it. Close the app mid-rack, run out of battery, let the phone restart — when you come back the score is exactly where you left it, right down to whose turn it is. UNDO THAT ACTUALLY WORKS One tap, never buried in a menu, and it still works after the match is over. The most valuable undo is the one that takes back a mis-tapped winning ball. RACK BY RACK Open any match and read the whole thing back: every ball, every foul, every safety, in the order it happened, with corrections shown rather than hidden. RULES THAT MATCH YOUR ROOM Whether the 8 on the break wins, how long the race is, what a third foul costs — these vary by venue and by region, and the app asks instead of assuming. Your answers are saved with that match, so changing a preference later never rewrites a game you already played. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Your matches never leave your phone. There is no account and no server for your scores. The only thing that ever touches a server is a purchase receipt, if you buy Insights. Export your full history to JSON or CSV any time, free and unlimited. BUILT FOR A POOL HALL High-contrast dark screen for dim rooms, large controls you can hit without looking, and the display stays awake while you are scoring. EightNine is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any pool league, federation, or rating system, and it does not calculate any official rating.

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
