Here it is - DM Helper version 1.6 is now officially available with new user interface integrations to help decrease clutter and increase ease of use and full Mac OS support! Furthermore there have been several improvements on prior features including full importing of characters from D&D Beyond.

This one really feels like a super step forwards!

Specific Release Notes

• Mac OS support is now officially up-to-date with version 1.6 from prior releases, including all features, including animated maps! Through the updates our focus on supporting MacOS support has been sacrificed for the sake of innovation of new features in DMH. Starting in 1.6 we will be recommitting to catching MacOS up, and remaining up to date with all future releases
• The battle view is now integrated into the main application window to decrease clutter and increase ease of use. This means less alt+tab and more focus on what’s important
• New ‘camera’ view inside battle view for more control over exactly what you want your players to see and when you want them to see it.
• Full D&D Beyond integration with the ability to resync updated information, no more “oops, looks like it didn’t import my AC correctly.”
• New improvements the campaign tree interface by giving an option to hide it away giving you a wider battle and map view for when you need it.

Key Features of the DM Helper

•  A two window system created for displaying and editing for the dungeon master, and a ‘Player Window’ to display only what you wish for the players to see; NPC images, maps, battles, item images, etc.The ‘Player Window’ can be used on an external monitor or shared via streaming tools for full flexibility in whatever situation you need
