Hey everyone,

  I've been working on a poker desktop app called ApexTell for a while now and it's finally in open beta. Figured I'd share it here since I built it to solve a problem I had myself — juggling 4-5 different poker tools.

  What it does:

  The core idea is everything in one app. HUD, tracker, solver, trainer, AI coach — no more alt-tabbing between tools or paying for separate subscriptions.

  Some of the stuff I'm most proud of:

  \- GTO Trainer — it deals you random spots and you play against GTO-approximate strategies. Uses neural network models for instant feedback (\~2ms response), or you can switch to exact CFR+ solving. It tracks

  your accuracy over time so you can see where your game is actually improving.

  \- AI Coach — this one's my favorite. It's a local LLM (Llama 3.2 3B) with a RAG system over 3,500+ poker theory chunks. You can ask it anything about theory, and it actually understands context. The cool    

  part: you can launch it directly from the Hand Replayer with the full hand context pre-loaded, so you can go "what should I have done on the river here?" and it already knows the action, positions, stack    

  sizes, everything.

  \- Behavioral Analysis Engine — 45 rules that automatically classify players into types (NIT, TAG, LAG, FISH, WHALE, etc.) with postflop style indicators. Not just a simple VPIP/PFR label — it generates      

  actual scouting reports with preflop tendencies, postflop patterns, and exploitable leaks.

  \- HUD Overlay — real-time color-coded stats on your poker client, positional breakdowns, in-HUD notes, draggable layout. Supports up to 24 tables simultaneously. Works with PokerStars, 888, WPN, Winamax,    

  iPoker, and Chico out of the box (PartyPoker and Unibet stats-only per their ToS).

  \- Embedded GTO Solver — postflop CFR+ engine with configurable bet sizing trees and a strategy browser. Not a cloud lookup — it actually solves on your machine.

  And that's not even all of it — there's also a full stats browser with 23+ tracked stats and deep filtering, a leak detector that ranks your biggest leaks by BB/100 impact, an equity calculator (hand vs.    

  hand, hand vs. range, range vs. range), session graphs with EV-adjusted lines, a hand tagging system, auto-notes rule builder, and more. You can check out the full feature list at

  https://apextell.net/features.

  The local-first thing:

  Everything runs on your machine. The AI coach runs offline, your hand histories stay local, your stats never leave your computer. No cloud uploads, no accounts needed for the analysis tools. I built it this

  way because I personally didn't want my hand data sitting on someone else's server.

  It's free right now (+ a Founders Pack):

  The app is in open beta — full access to every feature, no paywall, no time limit. Once it goes live it'll be subscription-based, but during the beta I'm offering a Founders Pack — a one-time purchase that  

  gives you lifetime access to everything, forever. That deal goes away once the beta ends, so if you end up liking the app it's worth a look.

  But zero pressure — you can use the full app completely free right now. I genuinely just want people to try it and tell me what's broken or what's missing. If you play online cash games or tournaments, I'd  

  love for you to rip it apart.

  You can grab it at https://apextell.net — Windows and Linux today, macOS coming soon.

  Bug reports, feature requests, honest "this sucks because X" feedback — all welcome. Thanks for reading.
