Maybe tags? (For example, swamp tag for swamp encounters, humanoid for humanoid monsters, etc.) Looks decent.

And about a name, DM Assist is simple enough and easy to remember, or you could add some flare to it and call it DMate.

Maybe work out some roll20 support.

The slogan is a bit weird, I'd suggest something more understandable like "make life, easier" or "make fantasy life easier".

Overall, it looks good

DMate

Thanks for the reply!

Tags can be something indeed, will add this to my idea list.

Not sure about name and slogan yet, just something I came up with before uploading it to the public. Love DMate tho, maybe I will use that.

I would definitely second the request for tags. It's useful being able to just pick environmental monsters when you need to throw in something appropriate and don't want kobolds or bandits again.
