Bring the home game to your phone. This is poker, re-imagined for real-world players who just want to get the game going. Whether you're hosting a regular house game or organizing a last-minute table, our app makes it easy to create, share, and manage your private poker nights — no chips, no fuss, no distractions. MVP Feature Set Includes: Create a Game Name your table, set the stakes, choose the date and location, and start inviting. Invite Players Instantly Share a game link via text, email, or QR code — or invite contacts directly. As players join, they’re added to the guest list automatically. Assign Seats Manage who's sitting where. Hosts can organize seats manually or let them fill in first-come, first-served. Anonymous Mode Hosting a serious game or just want to keep the drama low? Turn on anonymous mode to hide who’s coming — players will only see placeholders like “Player 1,” “Player 2,” etc. The full list is visible only to the host. Game Details All in One Place Every game has a dedicated screen with the full rundown: time, location, stakes, description, player list, and seat assignments. Deep Link Support Clicking an invite takes you straight to the game — whether you're on your phone, opening from a text, or scanning a QR code. Works Great for House Games, Weekly Tables, or Tournaments Whether you're coordinating a recurring table or a one-off cash game, this app helps you stay organized and focus on the fun. Built with Privacy in Mind Players only see what they’re supposed to see — nothing more. Hosts control visibility of invite lists and player details. No unnecessary ads, gimmicks, or tracking. This app is for players, not for profit. Who It’s For You run a regular poker night and want to make it easier to coordinate. You’re tired of group chats losing the thread about time and location. You want to make your game feel more professional — without making it complicated. You don’t want your game on a public leader board — this is for you and your group. Lock It Up Poker is just the beginning. We're actively listening to feedback and evolving the app to better serve real-world poker hosts and players.
