A little niche, but https://run-in.app is an online encounter manager for DnD 5e that I've been (slowly) building this year. I initially built it because I was dming a one-shot for some friends and got overwhelmed tracking the health and position of 6 enemies + the party on pen and paper.
I wasn't happy with the solutions I found to this online, and thought it'd be fun to try and build one myself.
The main features for creating and running an encounter are ready:
1. Adding any 5e SRD mob or a custom mob to battle maps
2. Dragging mobs around the battle map
3. Turn and health tracking
4. Status effect tracking
But there are a few bugs to iron out, and more features to come!
As a heads up, if you visit the site and get a cold start of the container, it might take a while to be properly interactive. This is, unsurprisingly, the first thing to fix on the roadmap.
Something like this is exactly what I've been looking for! Barebones, easy to use, and snappy. I find most other encounter builders are way to bloated for my purposes. But this seems to strike a really nice middle ground of convenience with all the right features.
