Poker Tournament Timer

About Poker Tournament Timer

Plan, time, calculate, and keep the game record

Run a home poker tournament with a focused timer, a planned blind progression, and transparent arithmetic. Enter the details of the night, review the estimated schedule, and keep the current and upcoming level easy to see.

Poker Tournament Timer: Home helps you run a real-table poker tournament without turning the evening into spreadsheet work. Start with the shape of your game: number of players, starting stack, target duration, minutes per level, opening big blind, the level where antes begin, break frequency, and break length. From those inputs the app creates a blind structure with small blind, big blind, ante, breaks, level count, and an estimated schedule before the first hand is dealt.

The clock is anchored to wall time instead of a fragile tick counter. If the phone is locked, the app is suspended, or you reopen it after checking something else, the current level is recalculated from timestamps so the table stays on pace. The timer screen shows the active level, current blinds, next level, break status, and a large countdown. Start, pause, reset, jump back, or move forward without rebuilding the structure.

Optional voice calls and scheduled local notifications can announce blind increases and breaks while the event is running. They are local device reminders for the structure you created, useful when the phone is near the table or the host is also playing.

For repeat games, save up to 20 named structures on the device. Load a familiar setup, adjust the inputs for tonight, or delete structures you no longer use. Persistence is local, with no account, remote sync, or shared lobby.

The payout tools calculate a prize pool from entries, buy-ins, rebuys, add-ons, and fees. Use the standard payout ladder or enter custom percentages for paid places. When the remaining players want to discuss a deal, enter the remaining pool and chip counts to compare chip chop with ICM equity for the field still in play.

This app is a timing and arithmetic tool only. It does not deal cards, host online play, track bankrolls, process payments, place bets, create accounts, or provide a gambling service. Results depend on the inputs you enter, so verify structures, prizes, and deal numbers with the group before using them at the table.

At the end, save the event as a completed-game record along with its setup. Next time, reuse that setup and adjust the players, starting stacks, or target length instead of rebuilding the structure from scratch.
