General

What is MobiVTT?
MobiVTT is a FoundryVTT module that syncs your D&D 5e character sheets to the cloud, making them accessible on any mobile device. Players open a URL and see their character sheet — no app or account needed.
Is MobiVTT free?
Yes, there's a Forever-Free plan that supports up to 2 characters with no credit card or account required. Paid plans are available for more characters.
Is MobiVTT a replacement for FoundryVTT?
No. MobiVTT is a companion tool. It requires an active FoundryVTT instance to load character data. It provides a mobile-friendly read-only view of character sheets.
Do my players need to create an account?
No. Players just open the URL the game master shares — no sign-up, no app download, nothing. Access is immediate.
What game systems are supported?
Currently D&D 5th Edition (DnD5e). Support for additional systems is planned for future releases.

Setup & Installation

What do I need to use MobiVTT?
A running FoundryVTT instance with the D&D 5e system. Supported: FoundryVTT v12 with D&D 5e v4.4.x, and FoundryVTT v13 with D&D 5e v5.0.x.
How do I install the module?
In FoundryVTT: Add-on Modules → Install Module → paste the manifest URL → Install. Then enable it in your game world's module settings. See our complete setup guide for step-by-step instructions.
Where do I get an access code?
Visit mobivtt.com/signup and choose a plan. The Forever-Free plan gives you an access code instantly with no credit card required. Get an access code
Do I need to set up port forwarding?
No. MobiVTT syncs data through our cloud service, so your players access character sheets through mobivtt.com, not directly through your Foundry server.
Does it work with self-hosted FoundryVTT?
Yes! Self-hosted setups work perfectly. Your Foundry server just needs internet access to sync data to MobiVTT's cloud.

Features

What character data is shown on the mobile sheet?
Abilities, skills, hit points, armor class, spell slots, prepared spells, equipment, inventory, currency, class features, movement, and initiative.
Does it support homebrew content?
Yes, homebrew items, spells, and features from the D&D 5e system are included in the sync.
Are updates real-time?
The mobile page polls for updates every 15 seconds. Changes made in FoundryVTT appear on the mobile sheet shortly after.
Can players edit their character from the mobile sheet?
Yes! Players can adjust hit points, toggle spell slots, mark spells as prepared, toggle inspiration, track class resources (like Ki points or Sorcery Points), and edit currency — all from the mobile sheet. These changes sync back to FoundryVTT automatically.
Can I use it on a tablet or desktop too?
Absolutely. The character sheet is responsive and works on phones, tablets, and desktop browsers.

Troubleshooting

I don't see the "Copy Character Sheet" button
Check your FoundryVTT and D&D 5e system versions. The button location varies by version — it may be under the sheet's overflow menu (⋮). Supported: Foundry v12 + D&D 5e v4.4.x, Foundry v13 + D&D 5e v5.0.x.
My character sheet isn't updating on mobile
Verify the access code is entered correctly in module settings. Make sure sync is enabled on the specific actor (there's a MobiVTT flag on each actor).
Can I use MobiVTT offline?
Not currently. An internet connection is needed for both syncing data from FoundryVTT and viewing sheets on mobile. Offline support is on the roadmap.
