Dice Roller
Read full descriptionHide full description
Shake your phone. Roll the dice. Dice is a fast, beautiful polyhedral dice roller for tabletop RPGs, board games, classrooms, and everyday decisions. Pick a die, choose how many to roll, add a modifier if you need one, then tap Roll — or simply shake your device like a real handful of dice. The accelerometer feels your motion, the dice tumble in 3D, and haptic feedback clicks in your palm as they slow down and land. It is the closest thing to real dice your phone can do. ALL 7 POLYHEDRAL DICE d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20 and d100 — every die you need for tabletop play, all in one app. Switching takes a single tap, so you can jump from a d20 attack roll to d6 damage without breaking the flow of your game. ROLL SETS LIKE 3d6 Roll up to 12 dice of the same type at once. Every individual result is shown on its own die, and the total is calculated instantly. Whether it is 2d6 for a board game or 8d6 for a big spell, you see everything at a glance. MODIFIERS FOR TABLETOP PLAY (+X) Add a modifier from -30 to +30 for skill checks and damage rolls. The total updates automatically and the breakdown (dice total + modifier) is displayed, so there is never any mental math to double-check. Tap the modifier value once to reset it to zero. SHAKE TO ROLL — OUR SIGNATURE FEATURE This is what makes Dice special. You do not have to press anything: physically shake your device and the dice start tumbling, driven by the accelerometer. The numbers flicker rapidly, slow down, and settle with a satisfying thunk of haptics — just like dice coming to rest on a table. Every shake is a fresh roll. ROLL HISTORY Every roll is logged automatically: the notation (like 3d6+2), each individual die result, the total, and the time. Up to 100 entries are kept on your device. Tap any entry to instantly restore that exact setup — die type, count, and modifier — and roll it again. CRITICALS AND FUMBLES Roll all maximums and the app celebrates with a Critical banner, special colors, and a double-tap haptic. Roll all ones and you get the dreaded Fumble. The big moments at the table deserve to feel big. TWO THEMES Night, a calm dark table for evening sessions, and Felt, a bright green gaming table. Switch anytime with one tap; your choice is remembered. ENGLISH AND JAPANESE The app follows your device language automatically, and you can also pick English or Japanese manually in Settings. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no sign-up. Your settings and roll history are stored only on your device and never leave it. The gameplay works offline; the only network use is the in-app ads, served by Google AdMob (which may use an advertising identifier). On first launch you can decline tracking via Apple's ATT; ads still work, just non-personalized. HAPTICS DONE RIGHT Selecting a die, changing the count, starting a roll, tumbling, landing — each has its own carefully tuned vibration. You can feel the dice rolling without looking at the screen. Criticals and fumbles get their own signature haptics. ABOUT EACH DIE - d4: the classic caltrop, used for small damage rolls - d6: the familiar cube from every board game - d8: a common damage die - d10: rolls 1 to 10, great for percentile systems - d12: the underused beauty, big damage rolls - d20: the heart of many tabletop systems - d100: rolls 1 to 100 in a single tap — no need to pair two d10s PERFECT FOR - Tabletop RPG players who forgot or lost their physical dice - Board game nights when the dice have rolled under the couch - Teachers demonstrating probability and randomness - Picking who goes first, seat orders, chores, or lunch - Anyone who enjoys the small thrill of leaving it to chance FREE, WITH RESPECT FOR YOUR TIME Dice is free, with no aggressive full-screen ad loops and no pressure. Requires iOS 17 or later. Settings and history live on this device only and are removed if you delete the app. Simple, quick, and satisfying. Put a full set of polyhedral dice in your pocket — and may your next roll be a natural 20.

Dice Drop is a free 3D physics dice roller — real, tumbling dice that bounce off the tray, knock into each other and settle where they land, just like the dice on your table. No sign-up, and it works offline. Nothing is pre-decided. There is no random number dressed up with a picture of a die: the dice are thrown into a walled tray, the physics runs on your device, and the result is read from whichever face finishes upwards. EVERY DIE YOU NEED • D2 (coin), D3, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and the iconic D20, A true 100-sided D100 ball, plus classic percentile D% (two D10s) • Build a mixed pool of up to 20 dice and roll them together — 8d6 for a fireball, a fistful of d6 for a wargame, 4d6 drop-lowest for stats • A live running total, with dropped dice shown separately so you can see the maths • Roll history and lifetime statistics, kept on your device BUILT FOR REAL GAMES • Advantage, disadvantage and modifiers built in • Create and save your own formulas and macros — fire "Fireball 8d6" or "Longsword 1d20+5" with one tap, grouped by character • A D2 for every call: heads or tails, hit or miss, yes or no, go or stop, attack or defend, success or fail, odd or even • Shake the phone to throw, or tap ROLL — whichever suits the table KNOW THE GAME • A Dice & Games Guide built into the app: 73 game guides covering D&D, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, Warhammer 40,000, Blades in the Dark, Shadowrun, Vampire, Traveller, Yahtzee, Catan, Craps, Farkle, Backgammon and dozens more • Each one explains which dice the game uses, how a roll resolves, and what the odds actually are — worked out, not hand-waved • Plus the dice themselves: what a D4 is for, how percentile is rolled with two D10s, and where each shape came from • Free, behind no purchase, and every word of it works with no internet connection MAKE IT YOURS • 20 dice materials — steel, marble, wood, liquid-core, frosted glass, neon, galaxy, onyx, ivory, jade, amber, copper, silver, gold and gemstones • 9 table colours plus a custom colour picker, from tavern green to wine, midnight and sand • 7 tray surfaces — felt, wood, stainless steel, ceramic, marble, slate and glass • Hear the material: felt, wood, ceramic, gem and metal impact sounds, each recorded to match • Tune the physics yourself — gravity, bounciness and throw force PLAY TOGETHER • Share a four-letter room code and everyone sees each other's rolls live, in the same room — no accounts, nothing stored • Pass and play on one screen, passing the phone round the table • Push every roll straight to Discord or a virtual tabletop such as Foundry FAIR AND FAST • Every throw is seeded from your device's secure random source (crypto.getRandomValues) — no result is weighted, nudged or re-rolled • Full haptics on collisions and on the result • Dice settle quickly and decisively, with no waiting around • Works offline once loaded, including the whole guide FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE Every die type, the whole guide, roll history, statistics and the tavern green table are free — up to four dice a roll — supported by a single banner ad.
