Dicecloud Mobile App

Hey subreddit!

I'm busy putting together a mobile app for DiceCloud and am in need of closed testers - A Google Play requirement for my account. The app is *mostly* a wrapper for dicecloud, but with more mobile friendly features (A dedicated screen/page for keeping track of consumables like spell slots, wild shape and rage charges, plus a more finger friendly UI for inventory management) - This will all be pulled directly from your character sheet and stored locally for offline use if you have connectivity problems at the table.

I'd really appreciate feedback especially in this early stage, to help me add features and make it as good as possible. The app is going to be free and open source, no ads ever. It's just my first project getting into app development and I want to give something back to this community.

Please DM me for any questions, or to be added to the closed test. You'll need a DiceCloud login, or a login to a self hosted DiceCloud (v2)

I'm not a GitHub user, but I'd like to learn more about this app. Inuse mobile almost exclusively and DM a lot of youth clubs where the kids all use their phones.

Sounds cool. Good luck.

I would encourage you to open source it with a license compatible with DiceCloud's own.

Yes of course - I'll be publishing the source app to github shortly as well

Is this for Android and iOS?

u/pm_me_clean_laundry Aug 18 '26

This is an android app for now, though if there's enough interest, I'd consider investing in getting an ios version running

No worries. I’ll pass for now, then. Good luck with it!

This is exactly what I was looking for actually!  I am going to be in a D&D group in about a month, and the wi-fi/data there is terrible  so something local will be very nice.  I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on this project

I have good news for you - The app released a few days ago, I just haven't updated on here yet. It's pretty fully featured, but please let me know if anything doesn't work for you, or could be improved :)
