I recently started using Chess Position Trainer. It's absolutely amazing. Especially for what you are looking for. I don't even use the training, just the repertoire building, and I still highly recommend it.

Which version do you have?
(I like building a repertoire, but I feel like I need to practice against it)

Check out their YouTube videos, that's what convinced me

Chess Position Trainer is good but old, not user friendly, and doesnt work on Mac. Im frankly amazed a better product hasnt come out yet
Hey all . . . there's a great thread with a similar name at https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-openings/chess-openings-trainer-1 -- but it's three years old. Software and tools have been updated, new ones made, etc. So, I thought it might be useful to start a 2021 thread.
I would love to see opinions on two thoughts:
1. I want to design my own (not necessarily very deep) repertoire. I'd like to practice my own lines, but I also want to make sure I feel comfortable with off-beat lines that many folks may throw at me
2. It's be great to create some of this in "puzzle" form. Not actually a puzzle, but more along the lines of "what's the best move here" (yes, yes, I know that many positions don't have a single "best" move), and explanations. (Chess.com has something like that here, https://www.chess.com/lessons/play-like-ian-nepomniachtchi, although, obviously, I'm not looking to create something so fancy -- I just like the concept)
I look forward to hearing the collective wisdom here!
