Your grimoire. Your notes. Your game. BotC Notes is an unofficial companion app for Blood on the Clocktower — the social deduction game of bluffing, hidden roles, and one very busy Storyteller. Whether you're running a game or just trying to keep track of who's alive, BotC Notes keeps everything organized so you can focus on the chaos at the table. The Game Board Place player tokens freely on a grimoire-style board, or let the app arrange them automatically in a clean oval layout. Tokens snap to an invisible grid for tidy placement, and a soft haptic confirms every lock-in. Track votes, nominations, and deaths — by type — across every day. Mark someone dead retroactively and all subsequent days update instantly. Drag reminder tokens anywhere on the board, and manage Fabled characters as chips in the info panel. Roles & Scripts Import any custom script from a .json file — including community scripts from the BotC Script Tool. Browse a built-in roles database with full night order, Jinx cards showing paired role icons and names, expandable role cards by team, and a Fabled section. Traveller roles are always available, no matter which script is loaded. The role database updates automatically when new roles are added. Player Management Edit names, role claims, votes, nominations, notes, and death status per day. Save your regular crew to a Friends list and assign them to seats in a single tap. Game History Every saved game shows date, time, edition, player count, alive count, days played, and winner. Swipe to mark the result — Good wins or Evil wins — or clear it anytime. Clean & Private No ads. No accounts. No internet required. English and Spanish supported. BotC Notes is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Pandemonium Institute or Steven Medway, creators of Blood on the Clocktower.
