Best Solo RPG Apps

Choose what the app should handle

Choose the responsibility you want to share: an oracle answer, a dice result, a character record, notes, campaign state, or a complete session loop. A useful selection starts with your own process, not a claim that one tool suits every table.

Compare solo RPG app types

Oracle-only helpers

Give a prompt or random answer when you need inspiration. Best when you want to run the rest of play yourself.

Dice and rules aids

Calculate rolls, surface procedures, and keep rules close. Best when you already own the session’s fiction and notes.

Character sheets

Hold stats, assets, and trackable resources. Best when your main need is a reliable character record.

Journal and notes

Capture scenes, discoveries, and decisions. Best when you want a written record without automated resolution.

Campaign-state tools

Track places, people, clocks, and consequences across sessions. Best when continuity is the problem you want to solve.

Full-session runners

Coordinate play from character action through rules, response, and record. Best when you want one system to run the loop while retaining hero choice.

This ledger names categories, not third-party products. Verify a tool’s current data handling, support, and behavior from its own evidence before trusting it with a campaign.

Protect player choice

Keep the responsibility boundary visible: the player chooses the hero’s intent and decisions; rules, dice, and the world answer uncertainty; a narrator carries the fiction within those results. Read the solo RPG overview and the AI Game Master boundary before choosing a full-session approach.

Evaluate continuity and privacy

Ask what survives the session: character facts, a journal, locations, unresolved vows, and consequences. Then inspect what information a tool stores, where it goes, and what evidence supports the promises it makes. Continuity is valuable only when you can understand its record and trust its handling.

Where Table for One fits

Table for One is a rules-driven Ironsworn full-session approach. It pairs AI narration with dice and moves, then keeps state, map, journal, memory, consequences, and continuity in the campaign record. It is currently available through a waitlist, not a finished public product listing. See how Table for One works for the responsibility boundary and system shape.
