Welcome to the Smartphone Widget, a comprehensive, immersive module for Foundry VTT designed to bring a new layer of roleplaying and interaction to your modern, cyberpunk, or sci-fi campaigns.

This module provides players with a fully functional, in-character smartphone interface directly on their screen. More than just a simple prop, the widget is a dynamic tool that integrates seamlessly with the core features of Foundry VTT and your specific game world. Characters can make calls, send text messages, manage their contacts, conduct banking, play games, and much more—all from a familiar, intuitive device.

For Game Masters, the Smartphone Widget is a powerful narrative and world-building tool. You have complete control over the world's communication network, economy, and available technology. Issue phones to players and NPCs, configure the phone number system to fit your setting's lore, create custom gacha pools for unique item distribution, and even link the in-game time to dynamic lighting effects. Every message and call is mirrored in the chat log, giving you a complete overview of player communication and allowing you to discreetly introduce plot hooks, mission details, or cryptic messages from mysterious contacts.

Whether you're running a gritty cyberpunk investigation where every text message is a clue, a high-stakes corporate espionage thriller, or a modern-day adventure, the Smartphone Widget adds depth, encourages player interaction, and brings your world to life in a way that feels both natural and engaging.
