Turn Tracker vs Simple Initiative

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.

Combat is supposed to be fun. Not a logistics problem. Simple Initiative is the combat tracker built for Dungeon Masters who want to spend less time managing turns and more time running the game. Add your fighters, roll initiative, hit Start Combat, and stay in the moment. No subscription. No ads. No account. No bloat. Just clean, fast, intuitive combat tracking made for D&D 5e, designed for the in-person table. ~BUILT FOR THE TABLE~ INSTANT SETUP Add players and monsters in seconds. Initiative auto-sorts highest to lowest. Hit Start Combat, and you're off. PLAYER + MONSTER SPLIT Tag combatants as players or monsters. At the end of an encounter, one tap keeps your whole party loaded and ready -- just add new monsters for the next fight. Added SRD monster database — DMs can now search and drop any monster from the 2014 5e SRD (334 monsters) or 2024 5.5e SRD (235 monsters) directly into an encounter. Initiative is auto-rolled using each monster's own modifier. HP and AC pre-fill automatically. Database is bundled in the app and works completely offline. HP TRACKING YOUR WAY Drag the HP bar to adjust hit points in real time. Every HP unit gives a satisfying haptic tick. Disable HP tracking for players who prefer to manage their own. CONDITIONS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS Apply and remove them with a single tap, right from the combat screen. SMART TURN ORDER Active turn tracks by identity, not position. Drag to reorder mid-combat without losing your place. New creatures added mid-encounter slot in at the right initiative. SAVE ENCOUNTERS Quickly save and reload encounters to run multiple tables or stop mid-fight for the night and return later. ~ALSO DESIGNED FOR iPad ~ On iPad, Simple Initiative transforms into a split-screen command center. The initiative list lives on the left. On the right: the active combatant's name, HP bar, and full condition panel -- all in one glance, no scrolling required. ~ CLEAN. FAST.
