Honest comparison
Felt vs a basic poker clock app
The App Store has plenty of basic poker clocks. They count down. Felt counts down too, and runs the rest of the night: who bought in, who busted, who owes who, and how to pay them. iOS native, iPhone + iPad, with the clock on your TV via AirPlay when you’re ready to host like a charity director.

When a basic poker clock app fits better
- You only need a stopwatch and a "blinds went up" sound. Nothing else.
- You write down buy-ins on a notepad and settle by Venmo over text.
When Felt fits better
- You want the timer plus the ledger that records who paid what.
- You want the settle-up step at the end of the night to be one tap each, not a group chat.
- You host on iPhone + iPad and want the clock on your TV.
- You run more than one game a month and want season standings.
If all you need is a countdown, the App Store has plenty of free options. If you want the night recorded end-to-end (every chip, every cash-out, every "I owe you twenty bucks"), that’s what Felt was built for.
