A night at the table
One cockpit in front of you. One view for the table. Everything else stays hidden.
You control everything on your laptop. On the second screen - TV or projector - players only see what they should see. No shared login, no waiting, no loading moment in the middle of play.

Zwei Handgriffe
Zeig die Karte. Steuer die Stimmung.
01 · Battlemap at the table
The map is on the table - without anyone seeing your GM layer.
Open the player window on TV or projector, pull back fog when the party enters a room, and keep sight lines and grid tools to yourself. No player sees more than they should.
- ◆ Reveal fog of war room by room
- ◆ Dedicated player window for the second screen
- ◆ Grid, measurement & blackout in one click
02 · Control atmosphere
One control for the mood - not three open players.
Music, ambience, and combat run as separate layers. Switch into combat mode, fade in rain, fire a quick sound effect from the soundboard - without falling out of the scene.
- ◆ Music, ambience & combat as separate channels
- ◆ Scenes as reusable soundscapes
- ◆ Soundboard for spontaneous moments
The long-term core
RollBerry brings everything into one local VTT suite.
Maps, tokens, fog, initiative, audio, and campaign knowledge in one desktop app - built for control at the real table. The individual apps are usable today; RollBerry brings them together step by step.

Why the real table
"Why build a local tool instead of just playing online?"
Because things happen at a real table that no video call captures. The small grin before someone says a foolish idea. The shared breath while the die is still rolling. The hand reaching for chips while the party quietly makes a plan.
Online geht viel davon verloren. Die Verbindung hakt im falschen Moment, alle reden durcheinander oder gar nicht, und man starrt am Ende doch nur wieder auf Kacheln in einem Browser. Es funktioniert – aber es fühlt sich selten nach diesem einen Abend an, von dem man Wochen later noch erzählt.
Mir ist dieser Abend wichtig. Deshalb soll die Technik ihn unterstützen, nicht ersetzen: Karte auf den Beamer, Nebel per Klick, der richtige Track zur richtigen Szene – und dann verschwindet das Werkzeug wieder im Hintergrund. Kein Login, keine Cloud, kein „wer hört mich nicht?". Nur ihr, der Tisch und die Geschichte.
That is exactly what RollBerry is made for. Local, because your table belongs to you - not to a server.

FAQ
Before you download.
Do I need an account or subscription?+
No. RollBerry apps run locally on your machine. No login, no subscription, no payment requirement. Download and start.
Is this for online play or the real table?+
For the real table. RollBerry assumes you are in the same room: you control the laptop, players see the second screen. It does not replace an online VTT platform - it does not want to.
Why local instead of online?+
Because the real table carries what makes the hobby special: reading faces, laughing together, hearing dice roll. Online loses much of that - connections stutter, people talk over each other, and everyone stares at tiles. RollBerry keeps the table in focus and the tech in the background. Local also means no server outage, no account, no cloud - your campaign belongs to you.
Auf welchen Systemen läuft es?+
Als Desktop-Apps für Windows, macOS und Linux. Die browser tools laufen zusätzlich direkt im Browser, ohne Installation.
Welche Apps kann ich bereits nutzen?+
MapBerry steht als öffentliche Beta bereit. RollBerry Sounds ist als geschlossene Beta über die Produktseite erhältlich; RollBerry wird weiterhin in einer geschlossenen Testgruppe erprobt.
Muss ich alle Apps installieren?+
Nein. Jede App löst eine Task für sich. Nutze nur die tools, die zu deiner Runde passen; der Product finder oben hilft bei der Wahl.
Show the map, play the soundtrack - and stay with your table.
Find the right tool for your next game night in 30 seconds. Free, local, no account.

WHY · Why RollBerry exists
For the nights people still talk about weeks later.
RollBerry did not begin with the wish for another VTT. It began with the wish to protect a shared night—and make technology good enough to fade into the background again.
The starting point
“Why build a local tool instead of simply playing online?”
Because things happen at a real table that no video call can capture. The small grin before someone voices a foolish idea. Everyone holding their breath while the die is still rolling. A hand reaching for the bowl of chips while the group quietly makes a plan.
Online sessions have their place. RollBerry deliberately serves a different moment: people sharing a room, reading faces, laughing together, and living through a story that should not be interrupted by connection issues, logins, or browser windows.
That night matters to me.
That is why the technology should support it, not replace it: the map on the projector, fog with one click, the right track for the right scene—and then the tool fades into the background again. No login, no cloud, no “Who cannot hear me?”. Just your group, the table, and the story.
That is exactly what RollBerry is made for. Local, because your table belongs to you—not to a server.
What RollBerry is here to protect
Not more screen. More shared night.
A personal motivation becomes clear decisions about what the product should be—and what it deliberately should not become.
Presence over platform
People and their story remain at the center. RollBerry carries work without demanding attention for itself.
Calm over feature noise
Powerful does not mean overloaded. Tools appear where they make a decision faster and safer.
Ownership over dependency
Campaigns are long-term creative work. Data and media stay local, understandable, recoverable, and under your control.
Reliability over demo appeal
A feature is only finished when it holds up with large maps, many tokens, and time pressure at a real table.
The product standard
Decide faster under pressure. Doubt less. Stay with the table.
RollBerry does not need to copy every feature from other VTTs. It needs to be better in the workflows that matter during a real session.
- The player view is a promise.Hidden information stays hidden; visible state remains explicit.
- Performance is product quality.A session should not fail because a scene grows large or the night runs long.
- Evidence beats claims.Quality, safety, and stability are tested, measured, and visibly reviewed.
- Beta means honest collaboration.Rough edges are named; experience from real sessions flows directly back into the product.
Why I keep building it
I am not building RollBerry to check as many boxes as possible on a comparison table. I am building it so technology can carry a great game night—calmly, reliably, and under the game master's control.

About RollBerry
From real sessions. For real tables.
RollBerry ist ein Indie-Projekt. Es entsteht neben dem eigenen Spieltisch, weil dort immer wieder dieselben kleinen Reibungen auftauchten: der Beamer, der zu viel zeigt. Der Sound, der im falschen Moment stockt. Der NSC-Name, der partout nicht auffindbar war. tools, die den Abend stören statt ihn zu tragen.
Why RollBerry exists
There are great online VTTs, but they are built for online play. At a real table you do not want to set up a platform, log players in, or maintain a server. RollBerry fills that gap: digital support that stays in the background.
Why local-first
Your campaign is valuable. It does not belong in a third-party cloud that can change prices or shut down tomorrow. Everything runs locally on your machine - no account, no dependency, no data ending up somewhere you do not control.
Why real tables
The best part of the hobby is the moment everyone sits at the same table. RollBerry does not want to replace that moment; it protects it. The tech serves the night, not the other way around.
How it is built
Priority goes to what is actually needed at the table. Features come from real play and feedback, not from a list that wants to be as long as possible. As a solo/indie project, that means honest beta states, visible progress, and open communication about what does not work yet.
