Features

What Apex Solver does today, grouped by where you find it in the app.

The workspace

Everything for one decision point sits on one screen: who acts, the board, pot and stacks, and how the range splits across actions.

Node summary: the player to act, the board, pot and stacks, and each action's share with its combos.

Node summary

Each action's share of the range and its combos, with the board, pot and stacks for the node.

Line panel

The path from the root to the current node with every action's frequency. Collapse it when you need room.

Light and dark themes

Both themes use the same layout. Action colors, EV and range gradients can be changed in the settings.

The strategy grid

The 13 by 13 grid shows the action mix per hand class. Change what the cells show without leaving the node.

Views
Strategy, Strategy + EV, Range, Equity, EV, Blockers
Layouts

The OOP and IP layout: the out-of-position strategy grid on the left and a note on the right explaining that the in-position player does not act at this node.

Hand detail and range explorer

Pick a hand to break it into combos. Blocked combos are marked so you can see why a hand has fewer combos than usual.

Combos
Action mix, equity and EV for each combo of the selected hand
Hands table
Strategy bar, combos, equity and EV, sortable
Range explorer
Equity buckets for both players, suit filters, a custom filter and a graph view

Solving and trees

Accuracy target

Set the target exploitability as a percentage of the pot. The toolbar shows the current iteration and exploitability, and you can stop at any time.

Tree building

Define postflop trees and run calculations from the Postflop Tree Building and Calculations tab. Preflop has its own tab.

Tree information

See the settings a tree was built with before you study it.

Recent files and favorites

Reopen recent trees from the Recent menu in the toolbar or from the Favorites menu.

Strategy basis

Choose which strategy the viewer reports from the Strategy basis selector in the toolbar.

Keyboard shortcuts

Common actions have shortcuts, and you can change them in the settings.
