## What is Buttons & Bugs Companion?

Buttons & Bugs Companion is a clean, focused rules reference for Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs, the solo dungeon crawler from Cephalofair Games. When a question comes up mid scenario, you want an answer fast, not a flip through the rulebook or a scroll through a PDF. This app gets you there in a tap.

Every chapter of the rulebook is organized and cross linked, so following a reference like "see Focus" takes you straight to the right section. A searchable glossary lets you look up any term and jump to where it is defined. Bookmark the rules you check most often and they are waiting for you on the Bookmarks tab the next time you sit down to play.

Everything lives on your device. No account, no sign in, no ads, no tracking, no internet needed once the app is installed. Open it at the kitchen table, on a plane, in the basement, wherever you play.

FEATURES

Complete rules reference organized chapter by chapter, matching the structure of the printed rulebook and the online rules reference.

Quick reference cards on the home screen for the things you check most during play, like turn order, scenario setup, and end of round.

Searchable glossary covering conditions, terrain types, elements, keywords, and ability syntax, with every entry linked to the full rule that defines it.

Smart cross references. When a rule mentions another section, tapping it scrolls to that section if it is in the same chapter, or opens the chapter it lives in. You never lose your place.

Bookmarks that you can sort by most recently added or alphabetically, so your personal cheat sheet grows with your playstyle.

Works completely offline. Install it once and it is ready whenever you are.

Built for phones and tablets, with a dark readable theme suited to low light play spaces.

WHO IT IS FOR

New players learning the rules without getting lost in a long PDF.

Returning players who just need to settle a quick question and get back to the action.

Veteran players who want a fast reference for edge cases, keyword interactions, and monster behavior.
