About

Desktop app that lets you search for monsters from Dungeons and Dragons and easily view them and their actions, abilities, stats for your DM:ing needs. Currently, only supports monsters and spells that pops up when you select an ability containing spells. Actions and abilities are displayed in scrollable lists with clickable items for actions with attack rolls, which will display a popup with attack roll results and damage.

The app UI is built with Compose Multiplatform and supports both dark and light themes. Uses an embedded database for local storage to cache recently fetched monsters and spells.

The information is fetched from an open Dungeons and Dragons API that lets you fetch information from monsters, items, spells, etc.
