Build your DFS lineups with a swipe. Optimal DFS turns lineup building into a deck of cards. Every card is an optimized DraftKings Showdown or FanDuel Single Game lineup, best projected first. Swipe right to keep it, left to pass, then export your lineups straight to DraftKings or FanDuel. No spreadsheets. No guesswork. Just swipe. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set your rules: how many lineups, how different they are, which stacks to allow and your salary range. 2. Swipe: every card is a legal lineup with its captain, projected points, salary, stack and exposure. Right keeps it, left passes. 3. Export: get an upload-ready file for DraftKings or FanDuel, checked before it's written. SWIPE BUILDER - Swipe a few, then tap Fill the rest to keep the next best lineups until your set is full. - Choose your spacing: Diverse, Balanced or Top Projected. - Leave out any stack, like 5-1 or 4-2, set a salary floor, and see how many lineups still fit. - Lock a player into every lineup or out of all of them, as captain or flex. - Edit any projection before you swipe. - Track captain and player exposure as you go. - Undo a swipe, or take a second look at the lineups you passed. - Import your DraftKings entries file to fill every contest you've entered, then upload it on DraftKings' Edit Entries page. CLASSIC OPTIMIZER For classic slates, the optimizer builds up to 150 lineups in seconds. - Lock, exclude and edit player projections. - Set max exposures for players and roster spots. - Stack your QB with RBs, WRs or TEs, and keep opponents away from your defense. - Optimize for tournaments, and filter by injury status or projected starters. - Export lineups to CSV for DraftKings or FanDuel, with lineup summaries and player exposures. - Check spreads, totals and projected box scores for every game on the slate. NEVER MISS A SLATE Turn on notifications and we'll let you know when new slates and projections are ready to swipe, plus breaking news that moves lineups.

The scorecard is a mess. Nobody agrees on the math. And three days later, nobody can reconstruct what happened on Saturday. Circles & Squares fixes all of it. Set up your game, score it hole by hole, and let the app do the arguing — points, presses, side games, and final balances are all worked out automatically. When the round is over, everyone can see a clear summary. EVERY GAME YOU ACTUALLY PLAY - Match Play — singles or teams, with automatic 2-down presses - Skins — carryovers, birdie doubles, the whole pot - Wolf — lone wolf, blind wolf, partners rotating every hole - Nassau — front, back, and total, pressed or not - Stableford — standard or modified points - Stroke play, plus birdie/eagle/sandy side games on top of any format KEEP THE GROUP HONEST Score with real golf notation — circle it when you go low, square it when you don't. Snap a photo of a paper scorecard and let the app read it in. Live standings update as you go, so everyone can see where they stand without doing napkin math. WRAP UP WITHOUT THE AWKWARDNESS Circles & Squares nets group balances down to the fewest possible settlements. Optional Venmo and Cash App buttons open the installed third-party app with an amount ready for the user to review and confirm. Circles & Squares never accepts bets, holds funds, or completes a transfer. PLAN THE WHOLE TRIP Heading somewhere for the weekend? Build the itinerary, sort out lodging and who's rooming with who, set tee times and pairings, collect deposits, and see who's actually in — all in one place, right next to the golf.
