ChipTable is a virtual chip board for Texas Hold'em played with real cards. You deal the cards; ChipTable handles the tedious part — chip counts, turn order, and the pot. No poker chips, or don't want money on the table? One phone is all you need. ā–  Who it's for - Home poker nights with no physical chips around - Playing for stakes like dish duty or a coffee run instead of cash - Anyone tired of miscounting side pots and minimum raises ā–  Features - Free bet amounts plus Min / ½ Pot / Pot / All-in presets - Only the player to act is highlighted — no more betting on the wrong seat - Undo, even across hand boundaries - Automatic all-in and side-pot math, plus chopped pots - Automatic blinds, with manual and automatic blind-up - Room mode: invite by code and play from your own phones (online sync) - English/Korean, and your game survives a refresh ā–  What it is NOT - It does not render cards or judge hands (you use a real deck). - Chips have no monetary value; there is no cash-out or settlement. - It is not for real-money gambling. ChipTable chips are just a score. Play light, play often.

STACK

STACK is a chip tray for a real poker game. You deal real cards; STACK keeps the money straight. Everyone at the table opens the app, types the same four-letter code, and sees the same chips. Nothing to buy, nothing to count, nothing to lose down the side of the sofa. WHAT IT DOES • Tracks every stack, the pot, and the blinds • Knows whose turn it is, so nobody has to ask • Handles side pots when someone is all in — the part everyone gets wrong • Works out who owes who at the end, in the fewest payments possible • Re-buy any time; it all gets counted at settle-up BUILT FOR A REAL TABLE The app never sees your cards. You shuffle, you deal, you read each other across the table. STACK holds the chips and does the arithmetic, so the game stops pausing while five people argue about the maths. DROPPED SIGNAL? NO PROBLEM Phones lock and wifi drops. STACK puts you straight back in your seat, mid-hand, with your stack intact. NO ACCOUNTS, NO ADS No sign-up, no email address, no advertising, no tracking. Open it, type a code, play.
