## What is Turn Tracker?

Turn Tracker (the successor to the popular app InitiativeBoard) is a slick and easy to use initiative tracking aid for combat in pen-and-paper role playing games like D&D (5e or any other edition), Pathfinder (1e or 2e), Starfinder, Shadowrun and many other systems. Initiative rules are configurable to your game's rules: choose dice (d20, d10, 1d6 to 5d6), ascending/descending order, range of values and more. Also choose from one of the built-in color schemes, or design your own.

No more messy whiteboards, magnetic boards or pencil and paper! Quickly and easily create draggable tiles for PCs and NPCs, and arrange them in initiative order on the board, or let the app take over the dice-rolling for you.

Determining initiative, changing the turn order and starting new encounters is all a matter of seconds.

Turn Tracker fully supports landscape and portrait orientation as well as slide-over and multitasking - no more app switching just because you need to look something up in a PDF or on the web. 

The free version of Turn Tracker supports one campaign with up to 10 tiles on the board (5 PCs/NPCs each). Upgrading to Premium lifts these restrictions and you can run multiple campaigns in parallel, with unlimited PCs/NPCs per campaign.

### 5/5 — Simple and Functional

*2025-07-06, version 2.8*

This is exactly what I was looking for.

### 3/5 — Simple but Need more features

*2025-05-27, version 2.8*

One of the issues I have with this app is that I track enemies/NPCs by color (red, yellow, blue, green, orange, purple, black, and brown.). I’d like to be able to color each individual NPC tile/card by a unique color, but the app only allows me to make ALL NPCs the same color. Is there a way to make each NPC its own unique color? Is that something that’s available in premium?

### 5/5 — Minimalistic Perfection

*2023-02-22, version 2.4*

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I have been searching for many months now for a turn tracker app that integrates well into my RPG games. I downloaded the free version of Turn Tracker and began setting up my campaign. I enjoyed how easy it was to manage and add all my information and immediately purchased the Premium to unlock all content. I absolutely do not regret my purchase. THANK YOU for making this great app! This has now replaced all my turn tracker apps going forward, and I am excited to start using it today!

### 4/5 — Good!

*2022-11-08*

There should be a better way to track “conditions”…

**Developer response:** Hey, thanks for the feedback. I'm a little reluctant to add conditions to the app (likewise for AC, HP and other combat-related stats) as I would like it to stay focused on tracking initiative.

### 5/5 — Super App

*2022-09-16*

Die App ist super, fast perfekt für das System, das wir spielen. Lediglich eine Funktion zum duplizieren von SC fehlt mir, da in unserem System Charaktere, deren INI über bestimmten Werten liegt, eine oder zwei Bonusaktionen bekommen.

Perfect App for our RPG, I’m just missing the option to duplicate PC’s.

**Developer response:** Hey, danke für das Feedback! Das sollte sich leicht nachrüsten lassen :-)

### 5/5 — Minimalistic and easy to use

*2022-02-05, version 2.0.1*

I love this initiative tracker.  Is simple and super easy to use.  You can drag and drop, add notes and use some d20 actions like Delay or Ready.  Highly recommended.  I only wish the developer would create something like this for Exalted 3e, with positive and negative numbers for initiative.
