What a classic tracker does
- HUD at the table: opponent stats live over the table. Poker Studio does not do this today.
- Auto-import from the hand history folder while you play. Planned for Poker Studio, with a desktop app.
- Many rooms and games, depending on the product. Planned for Poker Studio.
- In exchange: installation, often a local database, licence costs, usually tied to one operating system.
What Poker Studio does differently
- No installation. Runs in the browser, the same on Windows, Mac and Linux. Your hands live in your account, not on one machine.
- Understand hands, not only count them. Replayer, your thoughts per street attached to the hand, session journal and maxims. Every stat shows "x of y hands", so you see how solid a number is.
- Ranges and training in one place. Your own range library, range trainer, push/fold drill, flashcards and our own standard ranges from our solver, not copied.
- Equity and pot odds in the same tool.
- Share hands with a link and preview image, e.g. on Discord or with your coach.
- AI assistant via MCP: give your assistant a token with exactly the rights you choose, for learning after the session, never as help at the table.
What Poker Studio does not do (yet)
- No HUD and no live help at the table.
- Import today covers PokerStars hand histories (English) and the Open Hand History format (OHH); more rooms as needed.
- No background auto-import: you drag and drop files, or an AI agent such as Claude, Codex or Gemini imports them for you with an access key from the settings.
- No desktop app yet. It is planned, together with more rooms and games.
- Closed beta: access by invitation.
Which fits whom?
| You want to … | Better fit |
|---|---|
| see opponent stats live at the table | desktop tracker with HUD |
| review hands after the session, keep your thoughts, work on ranges | Poker Studio |
| work without installation, on several computers | Poker Studio |

Today they are not exclusive: many players use a tracker at the table and work in the studio afterwards.
Where Poker Studio is heading
Poker Studio wants to be the one tool for your game, with everything in one place: hands, notes, ranges, training and review. Hence the motto "One Game - One Tool". A desktop app, more rooms and more games are planned but not available yet. What is being built right now is on the roadmap.
In short
- Tracker = at the table, studio = after the session.
- Poker Studio: browser, replayer, thoughts, ranges, trainer, equity, sharing.
- No HUD; import today covers PokerStars and OHH.
- Planned: a desktop app with auto-import, more rooms and games, all in one tool.
