How to Use Shoveclock

A poker tournament timer that runs entirely in your browser — no download, no registration required.

Quick Start (5 minutes)

1. Build a blind structure

Open the settings panel (⚙ top right) and choose a preset, ask the AI, auto-generate, or edit manually.

2. Open the display

Click the "Local Display" link in the left panel to open the display in a new tab. Project it to your TV or projector.

3. Press ▶ to start

Hit the Play button or press Space. The display in the other tab syncs in real time as you control everything.

4. Adjust on the fly

Use ±1m/±5m/±10m to tweak time, jump levels, send announcements, and more — all without stopping the clock.

Play / Pause

▶/⏸ button or Space key. You can edit settings and structure while paused.

Reset

Resets the current level's remaining time to its full duration. R key.

Next / Prev Level

⏭/⏮ buttons or N/P keys.

Fine-tune time

±1m/±5m/±10m buttons to add or remove time from the current level. Drag the time slider to any second. ←/→ keys adjust ±1 second.

Undo

↺ icon next to the time buttons, or Ctrl+Z. Reverts the last time operation by one step.

Tournament Status

Three states: Waiting → Live → Ended. Press "End" to show the completion screen on the display. "Resume" undoes it. "Set Waiting" resets to idle for the next tournament.
