LiveHands

LiveHands bridges the gap between live play and digital analysis — purpose-built for serious tournament players. You have 30–60 seconds between hands. LiveHands is designed for that constraint. Log complete hands at the table while the details are fresh, then export them to the same analysis tools online players use. For the first time, live players get a complete study pipeline. BUILT FOR THE PACE OF LIVE PLAY A guided, step-by-step flow walks you through each hand from preflop to river. Contextual action buttons show only what's valid at each point — no guesswork, no wasted taps. Custom keypads for chip entry, tap-based card selection, and dedicated buttons for common bet sizings let you record a complete hand between deals. When you log hands sequentially, player stacks carry forward automatically. Win/loss results from each hand update all stack totals so the next hand starts with accurate chip counts across the table. TABLE MEMORY Return to any tournament and pick up exactly where you left off. Stacks, blinds, and positions carry forward automatically — so you spend less time setting up the table and more time capturing hands. TABLE TO DATABASE IN ONE TAP LiveHands exports in PokerStars text format — the de facto industry standard. Your live hands flow into PokerTracker 4, Holdem Manager 3, and Hand2Note exactly like online hands. No conversion, no reformatting. Export a single hand to share with your coach, or an entire tournament for your database. YOUR LIVE HANDS, STUDY-READY A complete record of every hand: starting stacks, pot sizes, SPR, betting lines, and showdown results. Mark any hand as a favorite or add a note — reads, table dynamics, mental state, anything. Filter by position, outcome, pot type, showdown, all-in, and more. SHARE YOUR HANDS, NOT WALLS OF TEXT Turn any hand into a visual share card — a polished image that tells the full story of the hand. Event context, street-by-street action, board runout, and showdown result in a single image. Sized for X and Instagram. Log a hand, tap share, post. No Canva, no manual formatting. BUILT TO KEEP UP WITH YOU LiveHands was born from the WSOP Main Event — live poker's ultimate endurance test. Every action is saved locally as you log it and synced to the cloud when possible. Phone dies, battery runs low, you get moved to a new table — your hand is preserved. Draft hands appear on your dashboard ready to finish. Missed a detail? Edit any hand after it's saved. YOUR DATA, YOUR WAY You own your hand data. LiveHands will never sell your raw hand histories — that's a legal commitment in our Terms of Service, not a marketing line. No ads. No ad tracking. Export anytime in PokerStars text format — an open, portable standard. Your data is never locked inside the app. FEATURES - Speed-first hand logging with guided flow - PokerStars format export (.txt files) - Compatible with PokerTracker 4, Holdem Manager 3, and Hand2Note - Table memory — resume any tournament where you left off - Social share cards for X, Instagram, and more - Full hand history review with favorites, notes, and filtering - Filter by position, outcome, pot type, showdown, and all-in - Hand editing after the fact - Draft auto-save and resume - Continuous session tracking with automatic stack updates - Cloud backup and sync - Local-first storage for offline reliability PRICING New users get 7 days free, no payment method required.
