Old School Character Sheet App
Free · Designed for iPad
Roll, maintain, and store all your old-school characters on your iPhone or iPad with OS Character.
An offline-first companion that saves everything locally with iCloud sync when you’re ready to mirror your binder across devices.
From the first roll to a table-ready sheet takes under two minutes thanks to the guided creation flow that mirrors the SRD, covering ability scores, classes, languages, equipment, and spells.
Highlights
* Guided creation handles 3d6-in-order ability rolls, prime requisite adjustments, gold, gear, spells, character portrait upload, and naming—each step with dedicated UI so new and veteran players stay on track.
* An always-accurate live sheet recalculates HP, AC, THAC0 or ascending attack bonus, saves, movement, and derived stats the moment you edit, with tabbed layouts for combat, inventory, spells, retainers, and notes.
* Make table-side adjustments instantly—enter damage or healing, add XP with auto-calculated prime requisite bonuses, handle coin purses, and settle retainer wages while tracking loyalty, gear, wages, and statuses in context.
* Manage encumbrance and equipment with categorized weapon/armour, general gear, magic items, and treasure sections, complete with quick equip toggles, consumable tracking, and bundle-aware use buttons.
* Run your spellbook with automatic slot grids, known-spell caps, prepared/cast tracking, rest resets, and per-level prep flows tailored to each class.
* Command a multi-character binder with search, swipe actions, and one-tap access to start a new guided flow.
* Export polished PDFs that respect all optional rules then share directly from the live sheet; edit, resize, or replace character portraits any time.
* Keep control of your data with on-device storage, optional iCloud sync toggles, manual upload/download controls, and conflict review tools.
* Customize your table rules with optional AC presentation, encumbrance modes, HP rerolls, individual initiative, sub-par rerolls, and variable weapon damage toggles.

* Advanced Fantasy Classes are now available (all mechanics that utilize app logic exist within the app; however, Class Feature descriptions reference the Old School Essentials: Advanced Fantasy books by Necrotic Gnome; for users who own these books/pdfs, a new "Classes" tab has been implemented to allow manual entry of Class Feature descriptions)
* New “Classes” tab in the main navigation: browse all classes and edit Hit Die, Prime Requisites, and class features.

* Edit Name is now enabled from the Live Sheet, after Guided Creation.
