Torches : A Shadowdark companion app
A downloadable tool
"Torches" is a timer app designed for use in Shadowdark TTRPG games.
The app is intended to be used at the table by the GM to keep track of multiple timers simultaneously, each representing a torch that dims as time passes.
On this page, you can find the app itself and a PNG file containing printable cards that represent which player at the table is holding which torch. I hope this app will be useful to you! I would love to hear your opinion in the comments below :)
If it is your first time installing apps from the internet (and not from Google Play, for example), here is a helpful article on how to do so:

This is the best torch app for ShadowDark, I’ve recommended it many times. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work on Pixel 8 or 9 because it’s a 32bit app (i think that’s what the phone complains about).
Is it possible to get a 64bit version?
Awesome app! One thing I noticed is the sound when the torch goes it is very quiet and easy to miss. It also doesn't get played if the phone's display is off.
Any chance of getting the sound to play when the screen is off or even triggering the phones default alarm and vibrations?
hmmm.. I'll look into that! but I'm afraid it's not so easy to implement...
I love the look and usability of this, but it stops when/if the phone display goes off.
I started a timer for someone's torch. and then looked back at it after 15 minutes or so, and saw the timer had stopped at ~58 minutes.
Oh that's a good point! I'll try to fix it and reupload the app. Thank you for the feedback
Cool - let us know when it’s updated please :)
Fixed :D. Reinstall the app to get the update
