Polo timing,
beautifully kept.
ChukkaTimer is the essential app for the field: a one-tap chukka timer with warning bells, a full game mode with handicaps and scoring, club chukkas with rotating sides, and live sharing so anyone can follow along.
From practice chukkas to match day.
Whether you're umpiring a club game or keeping time for your team, ChukkaTimer has exactly what you need — and nothing in the way.
Simple Timer
Start a 7-minute chukka with one tap. Audible bells at the 30-second warning and the end of the chukka — just like on the field.
Full Game Mode
Set up a complete match: team names and colours, multiple chukkas, and score tracking chukka by chukka with full history.
Club Chukkas
Run informal club sessions with rotating Whites & Blacks sides. The live board shows who's on now and who's up next — nobody misses their chukka.
Automatic Handicaps
ChukkaTimer calculates the HPA handicap goal start for you, and folds it into the live score. No mental arithmetic mid-match.
Live Sharing & QR
Share a link or QR code and friends, family, and spectators follow the match live in any browser. No app required for viewers.
Live Activities
Keep the countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Glance down and see the time left without unlocking.
Bell Sounds
Choose between three different bell sounds, and set the chukka length (1–15 min) and extra time (0–60 sec) to match your club.

Built for club play, not just matches.
Club chukkas don't fit a fixed two-team fixture — sides are picked fresh each chukka, Whites and Blacks, from a rotating roster. ChukkaTimer runs the session and broadcasts a live board, so the whole club stays in sync.
No scores to chase — just the time, the chukka number, and exactly who's on. Everyone at the club opens the same board on their phone.
Rotating sides
Whites and Blacks are set per chukka — the line-up that changes from chukka to chukka is the data.
Now & up next
A clear board shows who's on the pitch right now and who's up next, so the next four can start tacking up.
Find me
Pin your name and the board highlights you — "on now", "up next", or "done" — no squinting at a paper sheet.
From your chukka sheet
Built around how clubs already work — players down the rows, chukkas across the top, W / B in each cell.
Let everyone follow the match.

Just polo.
ChukkaTimer keeps it simple. There's no sign-up, no analytics, and no data collection. It runs on your phone and stays out of your way.
Data not collected
The App Store privacy label says it all: ChukkaTimer collects nothing about you.
No account required
Open the app and start timing. No email, no password, nothing to sign up for.
Works offline
Timer and game mode run entirely on device. Live sharing is the only thing that uses the network — and only when you choose to.
Glance down, stay in the game.
A Live Activity keeps the countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you can set the phone down on the pony lines and still see exactly how long is left in the chukka.
Made by one person.
ChukkaTimer is built and maintained by a single developer who plays polo. If it earns a place in your kit bag, a coffee helps keep it going.
