Run combat smoothly. Never lose track of whose turn it is. Party Initiative Tracker keeps turn order clear during tabletop RPG combat — whether everyone shares one iPad or each player uses their own phone. SET UP YOUR PARTY Create a new party or join one with a code. Build the roster on a single device, or let each player add their own characters from their phone. Save characters as presets and bring them back for your next session. ROLL INITIATIVE The DM starts an initiative call. The app can roll for everyone automatically, or players can enter their own results. Set a max dice value in Settings, or enter any roll manually. FIGHT WITH CONFIDENCE Combat begins and turn order is set. The active player is highlighted and notified when it’s their turn — tap to advance and the app handles the rest. Track optional health, drop characters out of combat mid-fight, and keep rounds organized without juggling paper or spreadsheets.
