About this game

This app provides a lightweight, convenient, and ad-free way to manage your Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition spellbook and determine relevant spell properties while playing.

-Duration
-Casting Time

Spells can be filtered by any combination of the following:

Ratings and reviews

Apparently I set a minimum 60 second duration filter, and couldn't find shield, lol. This spellbook works great. Being able to use filters in the first place is huge and makes it much easier than having a bunch of tabs open in a browser. It took me a moment to figure out how to put in homebrew spells, but once I figured it out, it was easy to fill in information.

Get this instead of D&D beyond. Genuinely the best way to organize and look up spells on the fly, and easy to use. You can also make custom spell lists for multiple characters which is real convenient. Note to the devs, There is an error in the Contagion spell. It says that the disease in Contagion activates if the melee spell attack hits, but it shouldn't activate unless that creature also fails three saving throws. However this is the only error I have seen so far in 2 years of using this app.

This app is really nice once you figure out its small quirks with the filters. The only things that I think could be improved is adding in subclasses (when I was adding my twilight cleric in I had to go to the main list a lot) and the backgrounds that give you an expanded spell list such as the ones from Strixhaven or Ravnica, and I could not find any functionality for adding in homebrewed spells. These are pretty nitpicky reasons, but on the whole it works very well, hence 4 stars.
