I made a free Android app, Game Master Journal, that helps keep track of your NPCs, Cities, and Loot! I hope some of you find it useful!

So for a while, I had been wanting a way to consolidate all the different things I wanted to keep track of when running my D&D games. None of the available notebooks and journals out there did exactly what I wanted, and I had been wanting to learn mobile development for a while, so I took it upon myself to create the tool that I wanted to use, and it's finally finished and available for whoever wants to use it.

The main things the Game Master Journal helps track are NPCs, cities, and loot. For NPCs, you can add races, descriptions, plot hooks, a reference image, and you can also upload a voice file, in case you use accents or speech patterns you want to remember months down the line when that NPC finally makes a return appearance. In addition, you can tie an NPC to a specific city, in order to filter out only the NPCs in certain cities.

For the loot, you can add prices, rarities, descriptions, and images. I've been using this page to basically store an entire list of different stuff to stock the various magic shops in my world.

For cities, you can add custom environments, economies, sizes, and additional notes. You can see a list of all NPCs associated with each City (With links to their individual NPC page). You can add travel times between different cities so you know how long your players will spend in transit, and you can also add individual locations/buildings/points of interest within each city.

All of this is offered for free on the Google Play store, and I also added support for French, Spanish, German, Russian, and Japanese languages. It's universal, so it should work with any TTRPG that you use. I hope some of you find good use for it!

You don't happen to have a version of this that works on a desktop PC, do you? :)
Unfortunately it only exists for android devices at the moment, sorry!

My next project will be learning Full stack web development though, so if that goes well, I might look into porting this application into a web version! If that every happens, I'll definitely return to promote it here.

I just released a new update that allows users to export their databases in CSV form! It also prompts you to send/share it, which means you can directly upload it to google drive, or whatever other service you'd like. Super handy in case you want to consolidate all the info you create in the app across all your tools.

Do you have a website or social media presence where we can see your progress, share ideas and such?
So far all of my updates, and suggestions have been on various rpg forums like this one. I also made a ko-fi page but I never really used or shared it, as I didn't think there'd be a demand for it. I guess I could use that to detail new updates and get new ideas. If I end up setting it up for that, I could include the link to it the next time I post here.
