About Pocket Bard
Pocket Bard is a fully immersive audio experience for your D&D or tabletop RPG session. With just a tap, change your entire soundscape to match the tone of your session. From moment to moment, alter the intensity of the music, ambience, and sound effects to pair perfectly with your gameplay.
Free to download, no ads. The free library gives you 20+ complete scenes, including the full Fantasy Essentials collection (tavern, town, forest, cave, swamp, graveyard, dungeons, and more), enough to run an entire fantasy campaign without paying a thing.
HOW IT WORKS
More than a soundboard or a background playlist, every scene is a complete, layered soundscape you control live at the table.
• Intensity slider (patented): one control reshapes the arrangement of the music in real time, from minor encounter to intense battle.
• Music state controls: jump from exploration to combat with a single tap, and trigger a victory stinger when the fight ends.
• Layered ambience: rain, wind, crowds, and creatures, each with its own intensity control.
• Ambience variations: step indoors or out, into open fields or forest paths.
• One-shot sound effects: a door slam, sword clash, thunderclap, or howl right on cue.
• A mix that's already balanced: music, ambience, and effects are mastered to sit together at any volume. No mixing required.
PREP LESS, PLAY MORE
Built for game masters and dungeon masters, Pocket Bard runs on the phone, tablet, or desktop computer you already bring to the table. The controls stay out of your way, so you can shift the mood without breaking the flow of the story. When the party moves on, switch scenes with one tap, and the music and ambience automatically adapt. No more interrupting ads, juggling browser tabs, or clunky UI. No files to manage, no audio know-how needed.
WORKS WITH ANY GAME
Your weekly DnD group, a Pathfinder campaign, a Sci-fi one-shot, Blades in the Dark, Mothership, or your own homebrew. Scenes are built around places and moods, not rulebooks, so they fit any TTRPG and any setting.
WORLDS TO EXPLORE
Free with Fantasy Essentials: Tavern, Town, City, Village, Dark Streets, Mountains, Plains, Forest, Cave, Ancient Grove, Swamp, Graveyard, Dungeon Entrance, Dungeon Corridors, Dungeon Lair, Dwarven Kingdom, and more. Your free library also includes select scenes from other collections, like Deep Space and Shipwreck Cove.
Open Worlds unlocks many more collections: Sci-Fi, Horror, Seafaring, Desert, Feywild, Northern, Cyberpunk, and Modern Urban. Think starships and derelict stations, haunted libraries and cursed lands, frozen harbors, buried tombs, enchanted glades, and high-speed chases. New scenes are added throughout the year.
MADE BY HUMANS
Every note, sound, and piece of art in Pocket Bard is thoughtfully crafted by real humans. Scenes are composed by professional musicians and mastered by our audio team. No AI-generated music or art.
