🎲 Rolling Dice

Tap any die button to toss it into the cup. Tap the Roll button (or just shake your phone) and watch them fly.

All nine dice types are free, from the humble COIN flip to the mighty d100:

COIN
d4
d6
d8
d10
d12
d20
d100
DX

Need 3d6? Tap the d6 button three times. It's that simple.

The DX button is special — it lets you create dice with any number of sides, custom number faces, or even word/emoji faces. More on that below!

The Dice Cup

The cup is your staging area — the felt-lined tray at the center of the screen. Every die you tap appears here as a visual chip showing its type and color.

Build whatever combo you need, then hit Roll and let fate decide.

⚡ Modifiers

Below the cup you'll find the modifier row — powerful tweaks that change how your dice behave.

+/- Modifier

Add or subtract a flat number from the total. Rolling 2d6+3? Tap the + until it shows 3.

Drop Lowest / Drop Highest

Classic D&D stat roll: 4d6 drop lowest. Toggle Drop Low and only the best three dice count. Drop High does the opposite — perfect for disadvantage.

Floor & Cap

Floor sets a minimum for each individual die. Cap sets a maximum. Roll a d20 with floor 5? No result below 5. Cap at 15? Nothing above it.

Min & Max

Min sets a floor on the total (not individual dice). Max caps the total. Different from Floor/Cap, which work per-die.

Exploding 💥

When a die rolls its maximum value, it explodes — roll it again and add. And if that one maxes out too? It keeps going. Savage Worlds players, this one's for you.

Success Threshold 🎯

Count dice that meet or beat a threshold instead of summing. Set success to 5 with a pool of 10d6 and you'll see "4 successes" instead of a total. World of Darkness, Shadowrun, you know the drill.

🔮 DX — The Wildcard Die

The DX button (the heptagon) is the most versatile die in the vault. Tap it and you get a prompt with a count stepper and a text input. Here's what it can do:

🎲 Any Number of Sides

Type a number like 13 and you get a d13. Want a d37? Go for it. d1000? Sure, why not.

🎮 Custom Number Faces

Type comma-separated values like 1,1,2,3 and you get a die with exactly those faces. Perfect for Formula De gear dice, weighted dice, or anything weird.

💫 Word & Emoji Faces (Symbol Dice)

Type words or emoji separated by commas: ⚔,🛡,💣,✨ or Hit,Miss,Crit,Fumble. The die shows symbols instead of numbers!

Symbol dice get their own special result display — no totals, just the symbols that came up.

🔢 Count Stepper

Use the + and - buttons next to the input to add multiple identical dice at once. Need 5 copies of your custom die? Dial it up to 5 and tap OK.

If you have a DX or custom die selected in the cup (see Per-Die Selection below), tapping DX will preload its value — making it easy to tweak and add variations.

💾 Presets

Found the perfect dice setup? Save it as a preset. Tap the save button, give it a name, and it appears in the preset bar above the cup.

Tap a preset to instantly load that configuration — dice, modifiers, everything.

Long-press a preset to move it between packs. Long-press a pack tab to rename, reorder, submit to community, or delete.

🎯 Results & History

After rolling, the result area shows your total (or symbol faces) with a full breakdown of each die. Dropped dice show as crossed out, exploding dice show their chain.

Every roll is saved to history — tap the 🕒 clock button in the header to see your complete roll log with timestamps.

📈 Distribution Chart

Curious about the probability? The distribution chart appears below your dice, showing the full probability curve for your current configuration.

It updates live as you add dice and change modifiers. Great for understanding the odds — is 2d6+3 really better than 1d12+2? Now you can see it.

🔒 Lock Mode

Toggle the lock and your cup becomes read-only. You can still roll, but you can't accidentally add or remove dice. Perfect for game night when you've got your setup dialed in and don't want to fumble it mid-encounter.

When locked, the modifier row hides to give you a cleaner view focused purely on rolling.

📤 Share Results

After rolling, a share button appears next to your result. Tap it to copy a text summary to your clipboard — paste it into Discord, iMessage, or wherever your group hangs out.

🎨 Themes

Tap the 🎨 palette button to switch themes. Free users get two:

Pro unlocks four more ✨:

✨ Pro Features

Everything above works in free mode. Pro unlocks the advanced tools that serious players and GMs reach for. Here's what you get:

✨ Multi-Group FormulasPRO

In Pro mode, you get a formula bar at the top where you can build complex expressions with multiple dice groups connected by operators.

Tap the + Group button to add another group. Each group gets its own dice and modifiers. Then connect them:

2d6+3 + 1d8 - 2
4d6 drop low max 3d6 drop low
1d20+5 + 2d6 (exploding)

Operators: + - max min

Tap the ? button next to the formula bar for a quick syntax reference right in the app.

✨ Per-Die SelectionPRO

Long-press any die in the cup to select it individually. Once selected, modifiers like Exploding, Min, Max, and Success apply to that specific die instead of the whole group.

This is huge for mixed pools — maybe your d20 attack roll explodes but your d6 damage dice don't.

✨ Game PacksPRO

Game Packs are curated preset collections for specific games. Install a pack and get instant access to every common roll for that system.

18 built-in packs ship with the app:

⚔️
D&D 5e
🛡️
Pathfinder 2e
💣
Blades in the Dark
🌈
FATE / Fudge
👾
Call of Cthulhu
💥
Savage Worlds
💫
PbtA
☠️
DCC
🌚
Ironsworn
🔮
Shadowrun
🥫
World of Darkness
🏎
Formula De
🎮
King of Tokyo
🎲
Yahtzee
🌐
Catan
🧟
Zombie Dice
🎲
Farkle
🎰
Slot Machine

Plus community packs — anyone can submit a pack for their favorite game.

In a Game Room, you can push your installed pack to all players so everyone has the same presets instantly.

✨ Game RoomsPRO

This is the big one. Game Rooms let you roll dice together in real time with your group — no sign-up, no app install required.

🚀 How It Works
  1. Tap the 👥 Room button in the header
  2. Create a room — pick a name and color
  3. Share the 4-letter room code with your group
  4. Everyone joins with the code and picks their color
  5. Every roll broadcasts instantly to all members via a live feed

The live roll feed shows every player's rolls in real time with color-coded names. You can see exactly what everyone rolled, when, and with what dice.

After the session, the room host can view a full session log with every roll, downloadable as a text file. Rooms expire after 30 days.

Push a Game Pack to your room so every player gets the same presets!

✨ Symbol DicePRO

Symbol dice show words or emoji instead of numbers. Create them with the DX button by entering comma-separated text:

⚔️, 🛡️, 💣, ✨, 🤔, 💀
Hit, Miss, Crit, Block, Dodge, Fumble

When you roll symbol dice, the result area shows the symbols that came up instead of a numeric total. Great for custom fate dice, action decks, oracle tables, or any game with non-numeric outcomes.

Symbol dice can't be mixed with numeric dice in the same cup — clear first to switch modes.
