Smartphone Widget for Foundry VTT is LIVE on Patreon!

Glad you’re enjoying the module! To see all messages from your players, you can select the 'Master Phone' in the device selection menu. The Master Phone allows you to monitor all incoming and outgoing messages across the world without having to open each NPC's specific phone. Regarding call notifications, that feature isn't available yet, but I'll definitely consider adding it in a future update. Thanks for the feedback!

Hello Max, that's a great question! I've just adjusted the package names to make this clearer. First, the package now named Smartphone Widget (legacy) is the old, obsolete version. (This was previously named ...Early Access Beta). It's no longer used and will be deleted soon once I'm sure everyone has migrated. You can safely ignore this one. Smartphone Widget: This is the main Core Module that everyone needs. This is the stable version. Smartphone Widget: Scanner App: This is the new Add-on Module. This is one of the new add-ons being released early for Early Access patrons. So, to get all the current content, you should install both the main Smartphone Widget module and the Smartphone Widget: Scanner App add-on.

Wow, thank you for the amazing feedback! "Mindblowingly awesome" is high praise indeed! I'm so glad you like the module and I'm happy to answer your questions. 1. Anonymous Calls: You're right, that's a fantastic idea, especially for spycraft games. The ability to make an "Anonymous Call" or "Withhold Number" makes perfect sense. I will definitely work on adding that feature in a future update! 2. Always-On Home Bar: I understand the swipe-up gesture isn't for everyone. I'll consider adding an option for an always-visible navigation bar. My main concern is ensuring it doesn't obstruct important parts of some app screens, but I will look into it carefully as an optional setting. 3. Time/Calendar Control: Direct integration with modules like Simple Calendar is tricky because the smartphone uses its own internal, customizable world time system (`SmartphoneTime.js`). However, your alternative idea (a separate GM widget to control the time) is fantastic! That's definitely on my list of features to explore for a future update.

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback and your support on Patreon, Jack! I'm thrilled to hear the module is exactly what you needed and that you find it perfect. It's great to know you're excited about potential future features like a gallery, camera, browser, and music player, as well as polishing the existing ones. Those are definitely interesting ideas for the long term! And a huge thank you for letting me know about the expired Discord link! I really appreciate you pointing that out. Here's the updated link: https://discord.gg/betZuyMQ2r Thanks again for your support and feedback!

Hi Tragic, Thank you so much for reporting this issue and for providing the detailed update! I really appreciate you taking the time to investigate further. That information is incredibly helpful for diagnosing the problem. I wasn't aware of this specific incompatibility with the Starfinder system, and I'll definitely look into it. System compatibility is important, so I'll investigate this as soon as possible. Also, if you're on Discord, feel free to join our server https://discord.gg/S24yf8PC. Discussing the specifics there might help expedite the investigation. Thanks again for bringing this to my attention and for your support!

Awesome, thank you! I'm happy you think so. Let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions once you've had a chance to try it out!

That's an excellent question, and it gets right to the heart of what makes the module a powerful storytelling tool! Let me break it down for you. 1. Can an Actor access another Actor's phone? Yes, absolutely! This is one of the core features for plot and story. You can set this up by making the smartphone a physical Item in the game. Here's how it works: As a GM, you can create an item (e.g., "Dataphone") and designate it as a "Phone Template." When an Actor gets this item, it becomes a unique, working phone. If that Actor drops the item, is pickpocketed, or gives it to someone else, the new owner gets the item and gains full access to that phone—including all its message history, contacts, and call logs. It's perfect for investigations or infiltration scenarios! 2. How much control do we have as GMs? You have complete administrative control over the entire system. You can: Create, Delete, and Reassign Phones: Use the in-app Device Management screen to give phones to any actor (PC or NPC), change who owns a phone, or delete them entirely. Design the World's Systems: You have dedicated settings panels to create the phone number formats, build the entire banking and currency system, control which apps are available in the App Store, and even design your own Gacha prize pools. Manipulate Time & Environment: Through the Calendar app, you can advance in-game time and even link it to the automatic time-of-day lighting system. And great timing! I've just created a comprehensive wiki that covers all of this (and more) in detail. It will walk you through how to set up item-based phones and all the other GM tools.
