## What is Thinking Poker?

Thinking Poker is your private journal for live poker. Record hands with one thumb, see where your results come from, then study and reset.

TiltFree is now Thinking Poker: the same app on the same App Store page, now version 5.0. If you used TiltFree 4, your journal comes with you.

PLAY A SESSION
• Start a cash game or tournament with stakes, location and buy-in.
• Your stack stays in view. Tap it to switch between money and big blinds.
• Finish with a recap: profit, time, hourly rate, hands recorded, mood and one thing you would change.
• Keep your rooms and their rake. Add a past session by hand.

RECORD HANDS AT THE TABLE
• Seats and action buttons sit under your left or right thumb.
• Pick cards from a full-deck grid, or ranks and suits separately.
• Antes, and a straddle from any seat. PLO, PLO5, double-board and bomb-pot hands go in the manual builder.
• Add notes and tags, mark favourites, and finish unfinished hands later.
• Select several hands, sessions or notes and delete them at once, with undo.

REPLAY AND SHARE
• Replay any hand street by street.
• Save a hand as an image, or share it to thinking.poker with a link. It stays private until you share, and other players' names are hidden by default.

AI REVIEW
• Send a hand, or a finished session, for a street-by-street AI review: key moments, leaks, a read on the villain and a mental-game note.
• It is a second opinion, not a verdict. A review uses 1 credit, and a failed review is refunded.

KNOW YOUR TABLE
• Player profiles with exploit notes, labels and an optional photo that stays on your phone.
• Stats from the hands you record: VPIP, PFR, 3-bet, c-bet and more. Style reads appear from 30 hands. Merge duplicate players in one tap.

INSIGHTS
• Profit over time, bb/100, hourly rate with a confidence band, biggest upswing and downswing.
• Goals, and a bankroll with deposits and withdrawals.

STUDY BETWEEN SESSIONS
• Chart trainer: ten hands against a chart, with feedback on where you differed.
• 13x13 preflop charts with action frequencies. Build your own chart packs, mix actions by percentage or paste a range.
• Play whole hands against bots (TAG, LAG, nit, maniac, calling station, weak-tight), with preflop graded against the charts.
• Equity calculator for Hold'em, PLO and ESG with multiple boards.
• Poker 101 library, short chapters.

KEEP YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME
• Tilt SOS: one tap, one minute of guided breathing, any time things turn.
• Reset lines: a sentence to say to yourself when tilt starts.
• Commitments: pick a few promises before you sit, mark each kept or not at the recap.
• Guided audio for before you sit, after a hard stretch and to wind down, in English and Chinese.

YOUR DATA
• Works offline. Sign in with Apple or Google to keep your journal across phones, or stay a guest on this phone.
• Export your whole journal as a ZIP with JSON and CSV. Delete your account from inside the app.

COMING FROM TILTFREE 4
Your sessions, hands, players, notes, chart packs, saved equity spots and settings come over the first time you open 5.0. Nothing on your phone is deleted. If asked, sign in with the Apple or Google account you used in TiltFree 4. Pro carries over too.

Pro lifts the daily hand limit, the chart-pack limit and the saved-spot limit, and includes AI review credits every month. Credit packs are also available as a one-time purchase.

A tracking and study tool. No real-money gambling.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 5.0.0 — 2026-11-08

TiltFree is now Thinking Poker 5.0, rebuilt on the same App Store page.

YOUR JOURNAL COMES WITH YOU
• The first time you open 5.0 it brings over your TiltFree 4 sessions, hands, players, notes, chart packs, saved equity spots and settings. Nothing on your phone is deleted.
• If asked, sign in with the Apple or Google account you used in TiltFree 4.
• Pro carries over.

NEW
• A Play tab: start a session, watch your stack in money or big blinds, finish with a recap.
• Straddle from any seat.
• Set yourself as a player right from the player's page.
• Card entry, three modes: full-deck grid (the new default), single-select (pick ranks and suits separately, with two-tone and rainbow shortcuts), and card-by-card.
• Select and delete many hands, sessions or notes at once, with undo.
• Share a hand to thinking.poker with a link, or save it as an image.
• AI review for a hand or a whole session, using credits.
• Insights with goals and a bankroll.
• Study: chart trainer, your own chart packs, drills against bots, and an equity calculator for Hold'em, PLO and ESG.
• Tilt SOS, reset lines, commitments and guided audio.
• Sign in to sync across phones. Still works offline.

GOOD TO KNOW
• The widgets, warm-up and cool-down routines and CSV session import from 4.15 are not in 5.0. Export to CSV and JSON is still there.
• Missing something from 4.15? Tell us from the Me tab.

### 4.15 — 2026-10-11

Record a hand with one hand. Get a second opinion on it.

• One-handed recording: choose left, centre or right mode and the action buttons, street row and pads dock where your thumb rests. In landscape, every input panel opens beside the table. The board picker opens by itself when you need cards.
• AI coach: ask for a street-by-street review of any hand. It reads the hand together with your stats, your notes and the villain's file, then gives you one takeaway. It is a second opinion, not a verdict.
• Free to start: 30 recorded hands a day and 3 AI reviews, plus 1 more review every 25 hands you record.
• Pro: no daily limits and 20 AI hand reviews every month, on both the monthly and the yearly plan.
• Faster practice: the chart trainer is one tap per question with instant feedback, and drills load quicker.
• Seats and stacks: tap a seat and type the stack on the built-in number pad, with 100bb, 200bb and "same as Hero" shortcuts.
• Your data stays with your account, and the sample session is always there to explore.

### 4.11 — 2026-09-05

• Chinese (Simplified and Traditional): the whole app now speaks Chinese, AI hand reviews included.
• Ante: record the ante on quick and active sessions; it shows in your session history.
• Fixes and polish.

### 4.10 — 2026-07-09

• Coach Inbox — one place for every AI review (hands, sessions, My Game) plus failed jobs, with New / Earlier and filters
• Review-tab badge now counts unopened coach items and clears when you open them
• Hand and session lists show which items already have a review
• From any AI review, jump straight to the hand, session, or seated players

### 4.9 — 2026-07-09

Meet your in-app poker coach. Get an AI read on any hand or session — it cites your own tracked notes on opponents, so the advice is about your table, not generic theory. Log hands freely; request a review whenever you want a second opinion. Plus a refreshed Pro experience.
