What it is

PoB Redux is a free desktop app for planning builds in Path of Exile 1 and 2. It uses Path of Building Community’s calculation engine, including its calculations, tooltips and breakdowns. Optimize reviews a build, proposes fixes, designs rare items from the real mod pool and ranks passive nodes by gains per point; its search is best effort, so suggestions should be checked. An optional assistant can answer questions about the open build and make changes, with Path of Exile 1 support in beta. It can run through Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Grok, Kimi, OpenCode, Gemini, Antigravity or Ollama. The app imports share codes, PoB XML and links from listed build and game services, and reads and writes the same Documents build folders as Path of Building. An optional MCP server lets Claude Code, Claude Desktop or Cursor read and edit the open build; it is disabled until enabled, listens on localhost and requires a token. The app supports nine interface languages. It runs on Windows, Linux and macOS, which requires Apple Silicon and macOS 11 or later. It is MIT-licensed and requires no account, key or sign-up.
