MageHand

Overview

MageHand — an Android tracker for
5e
Dungeons & Dragons 5e (2014)Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (D&D 5E) is a heroic fantasy tabletop roleplaying game published by W...Beginner-friendlyHigh-Fantasy
, standalone or DiceCloud-synced The stuff you poke fifteen times an hour at the table — slots, HP, resources — deserves to be one tap away on your phone. MageHand does that two ways: Standalone, no account. Create a character on the device and run it: HP, custom resource rows, your own abilities with use counts and costs, rests that reset the right things. Nothing to sign up for, no server, no network. If you don't use DiceCloud at all, the app still works. Or synced to DiceCloud v2. Sign in to dicecloud.com or your own self-hosted instance (you enter the server URL) and the tracker builds itself from your sheet, live in both directions.

What's in it

Tracker — spell slots, class resources (rage, ki, wild shape, inspiration…), hit dice, HP with temp HP, death saves, concentration, conditions, resistances/immunities. One tap to spend, undo on everything, short/long rest buttons that reset exactly what the sheet says they reset, with a badge on each row telling you which rest touches it. Inventory — collapsible sections, equip/unequip, move items between containers, wallet summary, search, sort by weight/value/name. Actions & spells — what your character can do, by level and prepared/known, with attack and damage modifiers resolved, weapon mastery lines surfaced, and a "Use" button that spends the slot or charge for you. Full sheet (synced mode) — the DiceCloud web UI embedded and already signed in, so the character creator and anything not yet native is right there. DM view (synced mode) — live trackers for a whole party on one screen plus a read-only feed of who spent what and who rested. Built for a tablet. Offline — the last synced sheet stays readable with no connection. Customizable — pin/hide/reorder tracker rows and inventory sections, per-character accent colour and portrait, configurable tab order, UI scale from 70% to 150%. What it needs: Android 11 (API 30) or newer. Nothing else unless you want sync — and then your credentials only mint a login token you can revoke, stored encrypted in the Android Keystore. What it doesn't do: no ads, no analytics, no crash reporting, no account of its own, nothing sent anywhere but the DiceCloud server you chose. Licensed GPLv3, same as DiceCloud itself, so code can flow either way with upstream.

Virtual tabletop (VTT)

Beyond Tabletop is a streamlined, web based suite of tools designed to enhance both online and in person roleplaying sessions. Developed as a lightweight alternative to bulky virtual tabletops, it focuses on speed, simplicity, and real time synchronization using Google Firebase technology. It is built for players who want digital character sheets and tactical maps without the steep learning curve or high system requirements of more complex platforms. Description Beyond Tabletop is designed to remove the "baggage" often associated with digital gaming tools. It offers a clean, mobile friendly interface that works on any device with a web browser. The platform provides dedicated support for Dungeons & Dragons 5e and Pathfinder, featuring automated character sheets and a highly intuitive mapping system. Rather than replacing the tabletop experience, it seeks to modernize the traditional pen and paper feel through real time collaboration and easy link sharing. System Overview & Key Features Real-time Firebase integration Every change made to a character sheet or a map is updated instantly for all connected players. There is no need to refresh the page or manually save progress, making it one of the most responsive browser based tools for tracking combat and health. Streamlined Character Sheets The platform includes built in libraries for core classes, feats, spells, and conditions for 5e and Pathfinder. These sheets are designed to handle the tedious math of leveling up while remaining flexible enough for homebrew customizations and unique character builds. Simple Tactical Mapping The map tool focuses on core utility over flashy graphics. GMs can quickly upload background images, place tokens, and draw shapes to define the battlefield. It includes a built in initiative tracker and status effect markers that are visible to the entire party. Device Agnostic Design Because it is a lightweight web application, Beyond Tabletop runs smoothly on smartphones, tablets, and laptops. This makes it a perfect companion for in person games where players want to manage their sheets digitally without taking up massive space at the physical table. Easy Link Sharing Sharing a campaign or a specific map is as simple as sending a URL. There are no complicated server permissions or software invites required, allowing new players to join a session and see the game state in seconds. Donation Based The full suite of tools is available for free. The developers maintain the servers through the generosity of the community, ensuring that there are no paywalls or subscription tiers blocking access to essential gameplay features.
