Set up a visible timer for a home poker game
A visible timer helps a table follow the same level. Prepare it before the gathering so one person knows which structure is loaded, when breaks occur and what to do after an interruption.

How to use this resource
- Write the agreed small and big blind values in a separate structure plan.
- Check the first, middle and final level against the plan before starting.
- Place the device so the table can read it and agree who operates pause and resume.
- After an interruption, inspect the displayed level and remaining time before resuming.
The downloadable CSV matches the printed table. It has no formulas and is not an app-import file. Entered browser-tool data, when offered, has its own download button.
Check structure and clock separately
A correct countdown can still be running the wrong level. Read the blind values and level number as well as the seconds. A short practice run before guests arrive can reveal a misplaced break without changing the agreed structure.
Keep a clear pause procedure
Announce a pause rather than assuming everyone saw the operator tap the screen. After recovery, tell the table which level and remaining time will resume. Do not silently advance the plan to compensate for an uncertain interruption.
Device planning
Use a readable position and your normal device power arrangements. Check sound if you rely on it, while keeping the visual timer available. These steps are a hosting checklist, not a promise that an operating system will keep an unattended app active.
iPhone
