In their own words
D4Planner
D4Planner is a free Diablo IV planner and companion site provided by ATLAS FORGE LLC. Its build planner covers skills, equipment, Paragon, specialization, and mercenaries, with options to save, load, import, share, and embed builds. An interactive map tracks points of interest including dungeons, Altars of Lilith, quests, bosses, vendors, events, and chests; users can export, import, or clear map data. The event tracker shows expected World Boss, Helltide, and Legion event times and offers push notifications. iOS users must add D4Planner to their home screen to enable notifications. The site also provides Diablo IV build guides, tier lists, game guides, and news. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Its App Store listing supports iPhone and iPad running iOS or iPadOS 13 or later. D4Planner says it is not affiliated with Blizzard Entertainment. The free plan is ad-supported; a Discord subscription removes ads, but no price is listed for that subscription.
Destiny Loadout Builder
Destiny Loadout Builder is a free, open-source web tool for creating optimized loadouts in Destiny 2. Choose stat tiers, subclass components and armor mods, and it finds armor pieces and mods that fit those choices. The builder includes every part of a subclass, including fragments that do not alter stats, and accounts for armor-mod energy costs when checking attainable tiers. Created loadouts can be saved to Destiny Item Manager (DIM). Shared builds adapt their stat tiers to what recipients can achieve, dropping lower-priority tiers when needed. A Loadout Analyzer reviews in-game and DIM loadouts for possible improvements, such as higher stat tiers from changing armor pieces. The site cannot equip artifact selections because the Destiny API does not let third-party tools change a user’s artifact. It also does not create in-game loadouts. The project is open source and free to use. Local development requires a Bungie third-party developer app; a DIM API key is optional for developing DIM integration features.
