Poker Night Clock is a free tournament clock built for home poker games. Put it on your TV or laptop, pick a quick, standard or deep structure, and it builds the blind levels, breaks and antes in amounts your chip set can actually pay. Instead of fiddling with a spreadsheet or a clunky timer, you get a big, readable clock that everyone at the table can see from across the room.
Beyond the clock itself, Poker Night Clock tracks players, rebuys, knockouts and payouts, so the organizer can focus on playing. A chip calculator splits your chips into sensible starting stacks, and a payout calculator adds up to the exact prize pool. If you run the same game every week, the "run this game again" feature brings back last week's setup in a click.
The clock runs from timestamps, which means a sleeping laptop or a reloaded page comes back on the correct level with the correct time left. After your first visit, the timer and calculators keep working offline, so a flaky connection in the basement will not stop the game.
The core web app is free, with no sign-up and no install. Players who join the game never pay. There is also an optional Pro upgrade at US$19.99, paid once with no subscription. Pro adds phone control by QR code: scan the code on the TV and you can run the game from your phone in about ten seconds. It also adds a smart-TV view and unlimited saved setups.
Poker Night Clock works on the web and as a free iPhone and iPad app, so you can use it on whichever device you have at the table. It is made for friendly home games, kitchen-table tournaments and poker nights with friends, from a handful of players up to a full house. Open it, choose your blinds, hit start, and deal.
