I like GTO wizard and GTO trainer.
The free version of GTO wizard is really helpful.

Tea, I recommend tea.
And biscuits, it's a good tool that usually helps me to play more concentrated and patiently :)

I used to use Hand2Note 4 as HUD (it was entirely free past year due to beta conditions, but even if it is not completely free today, probably they maintained a free version of it, so I think you should search for it) and you can try to learn more with GTO Wizard.

I could mention, also, YouTube (obviously) and Primedope, if you want to calculate variance and rake.

The best part: you can use all of these tools even if you don't want to pay them!

GTOWizard is pretty good, has a lot of preflop spots for free.

If you will have a paid GTOWizard you won't technically need a solver, but if you want one for experiments you can take PiOSolver (which is paid). There are some free solvers out there if you want to go full free mode, aka TexasSolver (crashy) or WASM/Desktop Postflop (quite decent), but they lack some features that paid solvers have.

Also I recommend having Equilab for researching equity (free). PocketSolver is another free equity research tool that has some useful features that Equilab doesn't have, but the interface is clunkier than Equilab's making it annoying to use.

OpenPokerTools is a fun thing to play around for postflop statistics.

Also if you are an MTT grinder you can look for free ICM calculators, like the one on holdemresources. There are also ICM solvers like ICMizer, but I haven't used it.

If your room allows HUDs you should probably look for one too.

You can use RakeAtPoker.com to calculate and compare rake between different poker rooms.

I recommend a simple screenshot programme. I often take screenshots so that I can reflect on my actions in my free time and think about how I could improve my game.

Holdem Manager for the HUD, GTO Wizard, and Range Craft Poker to build your ranges and train on them.
