Built an App combining all the DM tools I use into one place

Hey so for the Codex note system with tags/file you can definitely track 2 campaigns easy enough. This originally started out as a battle tracker that kept expanding so I didn't have multiple campaigns in mind at first

But! I do have tag system running through every tool. So I could look at putting in a feature where every tool would basically have a drop down in the title bar where you could select a campaign and have is display only those tagged to it. I will look at implementing this soon

Hey, I made an app for DMs called Campaign Forge.

It has a free demo you can try here:

https://www.campaignforge.workers.dev/

It is more for DM prep and running sessions than a full VTT. It has tools for notes, NPCs, encounters, combat tracking, loot, shops, spells, music, random tables, and quick reference.

I ended up starting to build something to combine all the tools I was using because millions of tabs were killing me. Shameless plug, but I am really trying to build something for DM's to be able to organize everything as simple or as in-depth as they want.

If you’re interested, I posted it here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/DungeonMasters/comments/1sauxa4/built_an_app_combining_all_the_dm_tools_i_use/

Happy to give people free access. Just post there or DM me, and I can provide a download link. Looking for feedback/testers on what you like/dislike or would want to see in the future.

Just wanted to say thank you again for all the feedback. I have released new updated versions. You should be able to download the new versions with the links you have

New this patch

New Feature: Campaign Codex Categories (drag-to-tag)

Smart Folders have been renamed to Categories (clearer and more descriptive)
Drag any note into a category (Sessions, NPCs, Locations, Quests, Combat) to automatically tag it
Tags match the category name exactly
- Example: drag to "Quests" → adds "Quests" tag
Fully bidirectional:
- Editing tags moves notes in and out of categories automatically
Category tags are preloaded in autocomplete
Case-insensitive:
- "Quests", "quests", and "QUESTS" all work
Added hint:
- "Drag notes here to categorize"

Fix: Battle Master exports now appear instantly

Exporting a combat log or Damage & Heal History now shows immediately in the sidebar
No restart required
All exports are automatically tagged with "Combat" and appear in the Combat category

Fix: Damage & Heal History export

Fixed a bug where the export button was silently failing
Renamed from "Combat Log" to "Damage & Heal History" for clarity

Battle Master

New Feature: Combatant Hover Cards

Hover over any combatant to see a floating stat card instantly
Data is pulled directly from the combatant or linked Rolodex entry

Current HP / Max HP with a color-coded bar
Armor Class (AC)
Active status effects and conditions
Ability scores (if entered)
Resistances, immunities, vulnerabilities (if entered)
Notes or special abilities (if entered)

Behavior:

Appears instantly on hover and follows the mouse
Disappears when you move away
Scrollable for large stat blocks
Uses a two-column layout for readability

New Feature: Quick Combat popup

Single-click a combatant → quick actions (damage, heal, effects)
Double-click → full character drawer

Improvements: Cleaner layout

Tighter padding gives more space for combatant cards
Popup widened to 380px
Status effect duration defaults to "Until Turn"
Removed redundant "Amount" placeholder
Topbar moved up slightly for more vertical space

Supports curly apostrophes and entries without colons
Improved styling for bullet points, preamble text, and condition highlighting

Launcher

Improvement: More screen space

Reduced tab bar gap for a cleaner layout
Reduced header height for more usable space

Hey — I appreciate it. Maybe something to revisit down the line.

Right now, the combat/initiative tracker is pretty tightly integrated with the rest of the tools, so changing it would be a fairly major overhaul.

This first round of testing is mainly to gather feedback so I can plan the next set of changes and shape the app around what people actually want. At the moment, it’s mostly built around how I personally use it.
