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. YOURS ~ - Works entirely offline -- perfect for the table where wifi won't - Dark and light mode with one tap. Font size support. - Auto-rolls initiative with modifier support if needed. - No ads. No tracking. No data collection. - One-time purchase -- pay once, own it forever Simple Initiative gets out of your way so you can focus on what matters: telling a great story. One purchase.
