D2R Build Planners on Mobile: How to Plan Builds on Your Phone

Quick Answer

The situation
No native mobile planner exists. The established planners are desktop web apps — usable in a phone browser, designed for a mouse.
The practical stack
Plan deep on desktop, execute on your phone — and use the planner features the port itself ships (Runeword helper, Chronicle stash).
Our pick
Maxroll's D2Planner for build sharing; d2r.org's planner when you want raw data depth. Reasoning below.

The Planner Landscape, Honestly

Search "d2r planner mobile" and you will meet the same handful of desktop-era tools. None of them ship a native mobile app or a phone-first layout — that is not a knock, it is just what exists today. Ranked by what they are actually good for:

Maxroll D2PlannerBuild guides ecosystem — plan and share links with the guide corpus one click awayWeb app; works in a phone browser, but assumes a mouse for gear drag-drop
d2r.org plannerRaw data depth — every class, ~1,172 items, game-data-driven calculationsSame web-app story; its dense panels suit a desktop screen
d2planner (GitHub)Lightweight, open, no-frills skill planningMost likely to tolerate a small screen; least guidance offered

Sourcing note: the table reflects each tool's public form as it ranks in search today (assessed 2026-10-15) — we describe form factors, not run benchmark tests on them. If a native mobile planner appears, this page gets rewritten the same week.

The Stack That Actually Works on a Phone

  1. Plan deep, on the desktop. Build your skeleton in any of the planners above — skill points, breakpoints, gear targets. Share the link to yourself (the D2Planner link format is made for exactly this).
  2. Open the link on your phone when you need a reminder. It will render; expect pinching. The planners do not break — they just were never designed for thumbs.
  3. Use the planner features the port ships natively. This is the step most guides miss: d2r-mobile has planner-grade helpers built into the game itself —

Runeword helper

Long-press a socketed base to list every runeword it can make, with stats. Have the runes? Socket them all in one tap.

Chronicle stash

Every identified Unique and Set item in a fixed slot, shared across all characters, searchable — a living inventory of your collection.

Trove

Gems, runes and materials merged into one page with the crafting grid in the middle. Planning a crafting session happens where the materials live.

In other words: the desktop planner answers "what should I build?" — the port's built-in tools answer "what can I make right now with what I own?" A mobile planning workflow that skips the second question is doing inventory management on paper in 2026.

Our Pick, and Why

Editorial judgment — this is our recommendation, not the project's or any tool vendor's.

Whichever you pick: plan once, deeply, on a real screen. Then let the game's Runeword helper and Chronicle do the on-the-phone part — that is what they are for.

Planner FAQ

Is there a D2R planner app for iPhone?

As of the versions this guide covers — no native one. The established planners are web apps. The closest thing to a phone-native planning experience is inside D2R Mobile itself: the Runeword helper, Chronicle stash and Trove (see the stack above).

Do planner builds transfer into D2R Mobile?

The game underneath is the real D2R — skills, breakpoints and items behave the same, so desktop plans apply directly. What changes is the port's exclusive modes: a plan tuned for the official endgame needs re-tuning for Greater Rift's skill cap of 40 and Elysium's drop rules (see our Greater Rift and Elysium guides).
