Free D&D session recap generator
Paste your rough notes from last session and get a “previously on…” recap you can read at the table. No account, no email, no card.
What this does, and what it does not
It reads your notes and writes the kind of short recap you would read aloud to restart a session — what happened, what the party decided, and what was still hanging when you stopped. It is the same generator the paid product uses, asked for a shorter answer.
It cannot know anything you did not write down. If your notes say “fight in the sewers” then the recap says roughly that; it will not invent the villain’s name or how the fight ended, because inventing things is the one behaviour that makes a recap useless. That limitation is the whole argument for recording the session instead.
Nothing you paste is stored. The tool is free and limited per visitor, so if you are recapping a whole campaign one session at a time, an account will serve you better.
Quick answers
Is it actually free?
Yes. No account, no email, no card, and the recap is yours to paste wherever you like. It is rate-limited per visitor and the whole tool has a sitewide daily budget, because every recap is a real AI generation that costs us money. If it refuses you, that is a limit or a temporary switch-off, never a paywall — and the page says which.
What happens to the notes I paste?
They are sent to the AI model to write the recap and are not stored by us — no copy is kept once the recap comes back. If your notes contain something you would not paste into any online tool, keep them local.
How long can my notes be?
Up to 6,000 characters — a couple of pages of rough bullets, which is what most session notes look like. It is a notes tool, not a transcript tool: if you have a full transcript, the paid product’s transcript import handles up to 500,000 characters on every plan.
Does it work for Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu or other systems?
Yes. It summarises what your notes say happened, and nothing in it is rules-aware, so any tabletop system works the same way. Write the names the way you spell them and they come back the same way.
Writing better recaps
If you want to write them yourself rather than generate them, the guide on how to write a session recap covers length, what to cut, and when to send it. For getting better raw material in the first place, see taking notes during a session and recording your session. And if the recap you actually need is “what on earth happened last month”, start with how to remember what happened last session.
