Test and review: FREE Poker Clocks a.k.a. Blind Timers a.k.a. Home Game Organizers

Blind Timer. Poker Tournament Manager. Poker Clock. Poker Timer. Poker Home Game Organizer. Poker Home Game Manager. It has many names, but basically it works all the same: it tells what the blinds are and how much time left before the next level begins.

I searched days for FREE blind timers. Although internet is full of so called "free" poker home game managers, further investigation shows that it isn't true. Many who claim to be free in fact are not, only the test-version of actual software is free. These test-versions may only have limited 5 blind levels etc. Those are useless.

But don't worry! And don't waste your time no more to search those best FREE poker blind timers and poker home game managers... because I just did all that.

Here is the collection of THE BEST FREE poker clocks that really do work. Both for Mac and Windows.

BLIND VALET
This one is simply the best. It is easy to use, has many great features and everything works like a dream. Very enjoyable to use. It has all what you need to create any kind of poker tournament. Highly recommended!

POKERDIY
This one is also available for download. However the downloading part was little kinky. I was able to download the software only after few minutes running the internet version first, and then it prompted me suggestion to download the program in to my computer.

Has nice features and works well. Highly recommended.

POKERBOARDONLINE
Very simple but easy to use poker clock a.k.a. blind timer. It doesn't have anything extra, but it works well.

THAT POKER CLOCK
Same result as PokerBoardOnline clock/timer: doesn't have any extra features, but works well.

THE POKER TIMER
It looks high-tech and seems to have lot's of good features. The only problem is, they don't work. At least they didn't work when I tested them, didn't calculate right payouts and so on. However the blind timer do work, so you can use that, if you didn't like any other blind timers above.

The Poker Timer


So here they are. The only poker clocks, blind timers, home game organizers and home game managers that are truly FREE and truly work in both Mac and PC. And yes, there are dozens and dozens that claim to be free and claim to work... but not really. I know, since I searched through them all.

However, if you find (or you know) FREE clock, timer or home game organizer that is not listed here, please leave a note and I will add it to here as soon as I have tested it.
