ChipClock vs. Blind Valet

Blind Valet is the minimalist, free, in-browser blind timer — nothing to sign up for, just a countdown. ChipClock does the timer too, and then adds the things a league actually needs: a shared roster, season standings, a phone companion, and an API an assistant can drive.
