NEW: Heartforge is now localized for German, Italian, and French, and now comes with a built-in music and sound effect player!
Forge your next adventure. Heartforge is a powerful, tactile Daggerheart-compatible assistant for both game masters and players.
Whether you’re building a campaign, running a tense encounter, or managing your character sheet, Heartforge brings your table together on iPad or iPhone. It’s designed to be fast, visual, and easy to use.
For Game Masters
• Adventures: Build, organize, and run your worlds with characters, loot, encounters, and locations. Link content with notes, @-mentions, and embedded statblocks.
• Encounters: Track combat with tools built for Daggerheart—manage Hit Points, Stress, and Fear with quick taps. Add adversaries directly from the environment your players are exploring.
• Compendium: A searchable library of creatures, loot, equipment, and environments. Create your own, import content, and drop items into adventures or encounters with a tap.
• Soundscapes and Sound Effects: Embed music and sounds in statblocks, encounters, and your prep notes for instant atmospheres at the tabletop.
• Homebrew Drops: Regular new creatures and environments, each with a One Page Adventure that works as a one-shot or a drop-in for ongoing campaigns.
• Utilities: Calculator-style dice roller with quick shortcuts, plus a built-in Fear Tracker.
For Players
• Character Sheets: Track your abilities, Hope, Feats, equipment, and advancements in a clean, touch-friendly layout.
• Level Up: Follow a guided flow to apply new traits and improvements without digging through reference material.
• Companions & Beastforms: Manage companion stats and transformations right from your sheet.
• Offline Ready: Everything works with or without an internet connection.
Heartforge content is written by people, not AI, and the app is illustrated by real artists.
