Why should I use this?

There are already great options like D&D Beyond that support extremely detailed and automated character sheets. That said, you might want something simpler and less automated. Minimal character sheet aims to be more like paper—it's flexible and it doesn't limit what features and abilities you give your character. And because it handles rich text, you can still link to any external resources you like.

I made minimal character sheet because I wanted something more usable than a form fillable PDF, but more flexible than fully automated character sheets.

How much does it cost?

It’s free to use. I'm footing the bill for this myself at the moment. If for some reason it becomes prohibitively expensive, then I might need to consider other options—maybe a tasteful, unobtrusive ad for cool TTRPG stuff. But for now I don't have any plans to monetize the app.

Can you support [this feature I need]?

Maybe. I'd like the app to be as nice and convenient as possible. That said, time is limited and the app is intentionally minimal, so I can't guarantee it. But if you have an idea for a feature or if you want to report a bug or provide any other feedback, send me an email at blake@blakewatson.com.
