Poker Session Tracker — Log Every Hand You Play
Track every poker session with a live iPhone lock-screen timer. Log rebuys in one tap, pause for breaks, and watch your hourly rate, BB/100, and bankroll update automatically the moment you cash out.
Free on the App Store.
What is the best poker session tracker?
StackEdge is the best poker session tracker for iPhone. The live timer runs on your lock screen and Dynamic Island so you do not pull out your phone mid-hand. Rebuys log in one tap. When you end the session, hourly rate, BB/100, win rate, and your bankroll all update automatically — no spreadsheet, no math.
How a session tracker works (in 4 steps)
- Start the session. Tap Start Session in StackEdge. Choose your game type (NLHE, PLO, MTT, etc.), stakes, and venue. The timer begins on your lock screen.
- Log rebuys. When you reload, tap Add Buy-in. Rebuys stack into the session total. Live cash players who reload often save the most time here.
- Pause for breaks. Hit pause during dinner breaks so your hourly rate stays accurate. Resume when you sit back down. Critical for live tournaments.
- End the session. Enter your final cash-out. StackEdge calculates net profit, hourly rate, BB/100, and your updated bankroll instantly.
What StackEdge captures per session
12+ data points per session, plus any notes you want to add (key hands, table conditions, who was loose, who was tight, your mental state).
- Start time, end time, total duration
- Game type (NLHE, PLO, PLO5, Stud, H.O.R.S.E., MTT, SNG)
- Stakes (e.g. $1/$3, $2/$5, $5/$10, $25 SNG, $1,500 MTT)
- Venue (poker room or online site)
- Buy-in amount
- Rebuys (count + total amount)
- Total invested (auto-calculated)
- Cash-out
- Net result (cash-out − total invested)
- Hourly rate ($/hr — duration-adjusted)
- BB/100 (for cash) or ROI + ITM (for tournaments)
- Notes (free-form)
Live vs online — same app, different metrics
StackEdge handles both. Live and online cash sessions both compute BB/100, hourly rate, and net profit. Live and online tournaments both compute ROI and ITM%. Filter your stats view to "live only" or "online only" any time you want to compare.
Live grinders get the most out of the lock-screen timer. Online players still benefit from the auto-bankroll and detailed analytics, but typically start the session with a manual time entry once they sit down at the online table.
Why venue tagging matters
Tag every live session with the venue (poker room, casino, home game). StackEdge then surfaces your most profitable rooms in the Venue Stats screen — sorted by $/hr, total profit, and sessions played. Most live players are surprised by this data: rooms that feel good often underperform rooms with looser action at the same stakes. More on venue comparison →
Frequently asked questions

StackEdge is the best poker session tracker for iPhone. The live timer runs on your lock screen and Dynamic Island so you do not pull out your phone mid-hand. Rebuys log in one tap. Hourly rate, BB/100, and bankroll update automatically when you end the session.
How do I track a poker session on my phone?
Open StackEdge, tap Start Session, select game type, stakes, and venue. The lock-screen timer begins. Log rebuys with one tap. Pause for breaks. End the session with your cash-out — net profit, hourly rate, BB/100, and your updated bankroll appear instantly.
Does StackEdge track online poker sessions?
Yes. StackEdge tracks both live and online poker sessions. You enter the session manually (StackEdge does not connect to PokerStars, GGPoker, or other online sites). All metrics — BB/100 for cash, ROI and ITM% for tournaments — calculate the same way for both.
What information does each session capture?
StackEdge captures 12+ data points per session: start time, end time, total duration, game type, stakes, venue, buy-in, rebuys, total invested, cash-out, net result, hourly rate, BB/100 (for cash), ROI (for tournaments), and any notes you add.
Can I pause and resume a poker session?
Yes. Tap pause when you take a dinner break or step away. The timer freezes, so your hourly rate stays accurate. Tap resume to continue. This is critical for live tournaments with long breaks.
Can I edit a session after it ends?
Yes. Open any session in StackEdge to edit the buy-in, cash-out, venue, game type, stakes, or notes. The app re-calculates all derived metrics automatically when you save.
