Poker Diary is a fast, private way to log your live poker sessions — talk through a tournament or hand the way you'd tell a friend about it, and Poker Diary turns it into a structured record you can actually search, chart, and learn from later. HOLD TO TALK Press and hold one button and just describe what happened — buy-in, cash-out, rebuys, key hands, positions, cards. Poker Diary listens, transcribes on-device, and fills in the details for you. Everything's editable by hand too, whenever typing is easier than talking. TRACK WHAT MATTERS Every tournament logs buy-in, rebuys, cash-out, and automatically calculated profit and ROI. Link satellites to the events they fed into, group tournaments into a Series (a whole festival, a weekly game, whatever makes sense to you), and see rolled-up stats for each one — wins, losses, ROI, and a running bankroll chart over time. MULTI-CURRENCY Log tournaments in whatever currency you actually played in. Set a preferred currency and Poker Diary converts and combines totals automatically using live exchange rates, without touching the original numbers you logged. HAND HISTORY, REPLAYED Every hand you log gets a clean visual replay — hero cards, board, villains, result — plus your own street-by-street notes exactly as you described them. AI FEEDBACK, ON YOUR TERMS Optionally get post-hand commentary from an AI model on hands you log — clearly labeled as commentary, never presented as solver-verified strategy, and never generated mid-hand. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your poker history lives on your device. No accounts, no ads, no selling your data. What you log is yours. Whether you play one tournament a month or grind a full series, Poker Diary is built to make the boring part — actually writing down what happened — fast enough that you'll keep doing it.
