A companion tool for when you travel into the planes.
PlanarAlly is a web tool that adds virtual battlemaps with various extras to your TTRPG/D&D toolbox.
Some key features are:
Self hosting: You can run this software wherever you like without having to rely on an external service
Offline support: This tool can be used in a completely offline set-up for when you play D&D in a dark dungeon.
Simple layers: Organize your scenes in layers for easier management.
Infinite canvas: When a limited workspace is still not enough!
Dynamic lighting: Increase your immersion by working with light and shadows.
Player vision: Limit vision to what your token(s) can see. Is your companion in a different room, no light for you!
Initiative tracker: Simple initiative tracker
Floors!: Look down upon lower floors when standing on a balcony!
This tool is provided free to use and is open source.
Typically only one person in your group should have to download and install PA, alternatively you can use a publicly hosted version.

For more information on how to use/install PA, see the documentation.
