Roll dice that feel real. DiceShaker 3D is a fast dice roller built around real physics. Dice tumble, collide, bounce, and settle on the table instead of playing a canned roll animation. What you see is what you rolled. Built for tabletop RPGs, board games, classrooms, and any moment when the dice are missing. Why players use DiceShaker: • True 3D physics: every die moves and settles naturally. • Full RPG dice set: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, d100, and custom pools. • Tap or shake to roll: quick at the table, satisfying in the hand. • Haptics tuned to the physics: you can feel the dice land. • Useful roll tools: totals, modifiers, success counting, keep/drop modes, and exploding dice. • Saved sets: keep your favorite pools one tap away. • Roll history: recent results stay visible. • Fairness stats, free for everyone: check the roll distribution of your own dice. • Works offline: roll anywhere, even with no signal. • No ads, no accounts, no tracking. Made for tabletop RPGs Roll attacks, saving throws, spell damage, ability scores, dice pools, and advantage or disadvantage. Build the dice pool you need, roll it in one throw, and let DiceShaker handle the result display. Rolled, not generated DiceShaker does not pick a number first and animate toward it. The dice are simulated, collide with the tray, and freeze where they land. When the d20 comes up 1, that is between you and gravity. Built-in fairness stats show the roll distribution by die type, so you can check the dice for yourself. A published 1,000,000-roll engine test lives at diceshaker.app. Beautiful dice, your way Start with a complete free dice roller and a handcrafted dice set. Customize the table, save your pools, and add optional extras if you want more: the Power Pack with power-user features like the full background library, plus premium dice set packs. Free means usable Everything needed to roll dice is free, and the optional extras never change how the dice roll. The original, rebuilt DiceShaker has been rolling dice since 2011, with over a million downloads along the way. This version is rebuilt from the ground up: new physics, new dice, cleaner controls, and the same goal it started with. Make rolling digital dice feel close to the real thing. Great for Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, Shadowrun, World of Darkness, Warhammer, Savage Worlds, Yahtzee, backgammon, Farkle, Bunco, math classrooms, and game nights of every kind.

A dice roller made to sit on the table with you. Dice Builder is one screen of eight dice: d3, d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, d100 on a single glowing dial. Tap one for a quick roll. Switch to builder mode and assemble the pool you actually need, twenty dice and a modifier, then roll it. No menus to dig through mid-combat. TABLETOP MODE Most dice apps assume one person looking at one phone. Turn on tabletop mode and the phone lies flat in the middle of the table: the dial rotates to face whoever needs it, and a mirrored results bar reads right-side up to the players across from you. Tap the control to turn the wheel, hold it to choose the step. Turn it off and everything comes back around to you. THE ROLLS YOUR TABLE ALREADY MAKES Dice Builder is specifically designed for you to create complex build outs of multiple dice combinations sprinkled with an ensemble of modifiers. Save them, name them, see their usages. - Keep highest or lowest: advantage, disadvantage, 4d6 keep high 3 - Reroll dice at or below a threshold, once or until they behave - Exploding dice: once, chained, or compounding - Success counting for dice-pool systems - Modifiers that show themselves, active rules ride the hub as lit badges SAVE THE ROLL YOU MAKE FORTY TIMES A NIGHT Name a build, file it in a group, re-arm it in two taps. Two builds can hold the same dice and still be different things, so your two 8d6 spells keep their own names and their own history. Some pre-assembled builds are already there when you install, including Advantage, Stat Roll and Percentile. IT REMEMBERS A running roll log with break points and subtotals, so a long fight stays readable, and historical steps of undo and redo for when it doesn't. MADE OF EMBER AND LIGHT Built for the pocket sized screen, not a mimic of physical dice. Ember line work on near-black, drawn as light rather than shape. A torch burns at the hub until the dice are rolled. Dice land one at a time, however many you trigger. The whole app ignites from a single spark when you open it. All of it respects Reduce Motion, and the content type scales to S, M or L without ever shrinking the dial. QUICK ROLLS Fire off rolls straight from Control Center and the lock screen, to either provide results right there or jump to app.
