New to 5e? How the App Works in 5 Minutes

This is a character sheet you fully own. Everything works offline, nothing needs an account, and your character is saved the instant you change it. Here's what each part does.

The tabs

A character lives across six simple tabs. Nothing is hidden behind a paywall, and there's no separate "premium" version of any of them.

Sheet

Who your character is — ability scores, saving throws and skills. Tap any skill or save to roll it.

Play

Your table surface during the game: hit points, attacks, dice, spell slots, conditions, and short & long rests.

Spells

Your spellbook, for casters — search every spell, read the full rules, and mark the ones you have prepared.

Items

Your gear and coin. Equipping armour, a shield or a weapon updates your AC and attacks automatically.

Journal

Remember the story — log each session with a scene, note the people you meet, and keep track of your quests.

Export or back up your character to keep it safe or share it, and delete it.

How a real session actually runs

Fifth edition is played in sessions — a group meets for a few hours, guided by a game master who runs the world and everyone in it except your own character. Those sessions string together into a campaign that can run for months. Because there's a real gap between sessions, everyone forgets things — who that NPC was, what you promised them, what happened three weeks ago. The app is built around that rhythm:

Prepare

Before you play, check your Sheet, prepare Spells, and sort your Items.

Play

Run the session from the Play tab — track HP, roll dice, make attacks, cast spells, take rests.

Remember

Afterwards, log what happened in the Journal: the recap, who you met, and what you're chasing next.

Grow

Reach a milestone and level up from the Sheet — your hit points and spell slots update for you.

That "Remember" step is the one most character sheets skip entirely — they track your stats but not your story. The Journal is built specifically to hold what a stat block can't: the adventure log, the people you've met (and whether they're friend or foe), your open quests, and your character's own goals and backstory.

You don't need to know the rules to start. Tap New character and follow the guided steps — the app fills in the maths (hit points, saving throws, spell slots) for you. Or open one of the nine sample heroes to explore a finished character first.

What you won't find

No account to create, no login, no sync required, no ads, and nothing held back behind a subscription. Your characters live on your device — export them any time to back them up or hand one to a friend.

Try it yourself

Open a sample character and see it working in under a minute.
