What are the best blind timers? (1 Viewer)

What is your favorite blind timer that you recommend checking out?

I'm looking for one that ideally I can have on my phone and screen share onto a TV. Or a desktop version one would do the job as well.

I've been using Blind Valet which I find to be quite good. I run it on my Mac so everyone can see the blinds and countdown.

I use The Tournament Director on an old PC. I have a monitor connected to it and then cast wirelessly to two other screens. I have a small wireless keyboard to control it.

Texas Holdem Poker Timer is great, and the pro version is even better with more options:

On a phone or iPad, screen share to a tv.

For a web-based timer, Ultimate Holdem Timer is pretty good. For Android, Blinds Are Up works well. If you want something that works well on both PC and Android, HPTM is a good choice.

HPTM is now also running on iOS and Mac

I'm not ashamed to admit it... I use PowerPoint.
Besides taking a little bit to set-up, it runs perfectly and is free.
The slides change every 20 mins (and 5 seconds) with a YouTube timer that automatically starts/restarts with the slide change and has an alarm at the end.
Like I said, works great, and I can customize the screens to add whatever pictures, memes, blinds, I need to.
For people a little less tech savvy though, I would recommend forking over $9.99 and getting one of the aforementioned timers. I think TD is a popular choice here.

Roku has a good. Blinds, rebuys, and add/ons. Keeps average chip stacks as well. Not too bad at all.

I really like it and I think it’s easy fast setup but if you wanna dive in to details you can

I use this one as well. I connect my two iPhones to two TVs in two separate rooms. You can sync up the two iPhones so the timers start at the same time. It figures out payouts and displays them on the screen. It also keeps track of starting chip count and average chip stacks. You can set up the chips values and colors too.

I developed one to be simple and generate a tournament structure based on your available chips and how long you want it to run.

It also calculates chip distribution per player based on how many chips you have of each denom. Let me know if you have any feedback.

Not sure I need to check out your timer but I am interested in your forum handle.

I think.

Maybe not.

but I am interested in your forum handle.

It's typically a reference to an MMORPG (Mostly Men Online Role-Playing Girls), where they stand there doing nothing but yelling juvenile insults at poorly written AI mobs. Some of them even try to see how close they can get the group killed by almost overpulling in an effort to go faster.

was more for the halo days when I was terrible and all I was good for was attracting bullets

Yup, I’m a +1 on this Texas Holdem Poker Timer by Ron Booth… but it’s only for Apple products.

I especially love the text-to-voice feature that announces my blind and level changes out loud with spoken words, not just a tone or sound or music riff.

A very useful feature when planning blinds/levels is to input the game specifics and have it predict duration.

I also love the syncing feature to keep the tourney format updated between the app installed my different devices as well as the screencast feature so it’s visible to all on my tv screen.
