    TORN PDA

    Torn PDA is an all-in-one assistant developed for players of TORN City. It aims to make playing Torn on mobile devices more convenient and enjoyable, offering a variety of tools to simplify tasks and enhance your experience.

     

    Torn PDA was first released in May 2020, and since then it has been evolving to meet the needs of the community. It was originally developed for private use to solve simple issues like forgetting that I had landed already a few minutes ago (which often results in getting mugged), or managing chains without constantly switching apps. The app was later made public to help other players facing similar challenges.

     

    It is officially endorsed by the developers of Torn (who also provide financial support for the servers used by the app for some applications), and as of the end of 2024 it is used by more than 40k players.

     

    Torn PDA provides easy access to key game information and offers shortcuts to reduce the time needed for common actions. You can view stats, manage chaining targets, and even call for revives, all within the app. Below is a list of the main features Torn PDA offers to enhance your Torn experience.

     

    You can see all the pending suggestions or developments on our GitHub project board or join our discussions on Discord.

     

    Features

    • Profile Overview: Access shortcuts to your favorite sections, view basic status data, recent events, cooldowns, and net-worth calculations. Set notifications so you never waste energy, nerve, or miss important cooldowns.

     

    • Travel Notifications: Track your travel status with customizable alarms to notify you before arrival. Discreet notifications help you stay safe in public places.

     

    • Foreign Stock Management: View, filter, and sort foreign stocks, including profit calculations based on item capacity. Contributions via the in-app browser help update the shared stock database.

     

    • User Scripts Support: Customize your experience by adding user scripts. Many scripts compatible with Torn PDA can be found in the forums, and the app already includes some example scripts.

     

    • YATA Integration: Access new sections like Awards through the YATA mobile interface. Data is synced directly from your YATA account, and you can also manage and sync awards and chaining targets.

     

    • Auto-Fill Items: Automatically fill your maximum item capacity upon reaching a destination, considering your available money. Use the quick home return button for a more efficient travel experience.

     

    • Quick Items Access: Add items to your quick access list from, making them easy to find later.

     

    • Trade Calculator: Calculate the total price for cash, items, and shares, with options for synchronization with the Arson Warehouse and Torn Exchange.

     

    • City Items Finder: Automatically locate city items on the map for easy retrieval.

     

    • Automatic Alerts: Receive alerts for travel, energy, nerve, hospitalization, drugs, racing, messages, stocks, and more.

     

    • Faction Chain Tracking: Follow your faction's chain live with instant energy updates and a chain watcher feature to avoid surprises.

     

    • Target List Management: Create and manage target lists with comments and details. Import/export targets to/from YATA, and skip targets that cannot be attacked (e.g., hospitalized or in another country). Torn Attack Central integration also allows finding curated targets effortlessly.

     

    • Attack Logs: Review your recent attacks and simple statistics to help you manage your common chaining targets.

     

    • Target Backup and Sharing: Export targets as a backup or share them with other players.

     

    • Revive Requests: Send a revive request to several reviving providers with one click when hospitalized.

     

    • Friends List: Create a friends list for quick access to messaging, trading, and other in-game activities. Add personal notes to profiles and back up friends' information.

     

    • NPC Loot Alerts: Activate alerts for NPC loot opportunities. Integrated with Loot Rangers.

     

    • Dark Mode: Enjoy a comfortable experience with the dark mode option.

     

    • Home Screen Widget: Available for Android.

     

    There are many more features available, but listing them all would be too long. For detailed information on how to use everything, check out the Tips section in the app. You can also review the changelog at GitHub releases.

    very very nice app, really useful for mobile chaining

     

    edit 4 years later as its the first comment thought i would add a bit more:

     

    TornPDA has been my daily driver for playing torn for such a long time now, i truly couldn't ask for a better mobile gameplay experience, yet Manuito and now Kwack are continuously improving this already amazing app. it does everything i want and so much more.

     

    What i would have been forced to do for ease of use in the past on PC such as chaining, i now go to the app exclusively. And ever since the inclusion of userscripts a while back, there isn't really any aspect of PC play that i miss or prefer over the App.

     

    A massive thank you to everyone who has had a hand in producing the all round best Torn play experience and what in my opinion should be the Torn official app.

     

    Thanks for everything

    Feature suggestion, notification for when I get out of hospital. The standard torn app doesn't notify for some reason.

    My dude! Thanks for this. Is it possible to always have a 20 notification sent whenever I fly? You're awesome.
    Thanks a lot.

    I understand you'd like the APP to automatically (without activating the notification in the Travel section) trigger the notification 20 seconds before landing? So that you don't have to open the APP, for example? If so, this might be possible to do, but entails some complexity due to Android and iOS limitations if we want the notification to come at exactly the right moment (which is the main objective). Probably needs to come from an external service, like Firebase or similar. This is why I added the Travel Agency in the Travel section, because things are much easier that way.

    I'll add this as a request in GitHub so that we can explore it in the future.

    Thanks a lot for the suggestion! I'll add this also as a request, the limitations and implementation method are very similar to the previous comment.

    Thank you! The browser works fine for me, but it's still under testing. By using it, we might get some benefits in the future, such as advancing from one target to another (this is a feature I'd like to add very shortly) or uploading foreign stock information to the database. In any case, please let me know what kind of issues you find (including those alarms wile spamming buttons?).

    So like the PDA in game could you add in a friends list,
    Other than that I like it.

    But since DoctorN has been having so much trouble with the abroad stock, why not go completely with AWH and Yata and use their collective abroad stock script and include the link in the app with an explanation on why to use the script

    Thank you! I'll add the Friends List as a request, it should be easy to do.

    Also, I'm in the process of adapting the app so that it can feed the shared DB directly when you visit a country in your mobile phone. Once that's done, I will get the data from there as well.

    Thanks for this precious information but your response implies two things:
    - these steps are not what I was calling a problem
    - the problem is only on the user end

    I think apps like pda can convert more people to external tools for torn

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    I'm actually planning all the information to be gathered and uploaded without any kind of user interaction, provided the in-app browser in used (there is an option to use the default mobile phone's browser, but it's thought as a failsafe in case the in-app one does not work for certain people, as it is still under development). Works very similar to the javascript option, getting and parsing the information as soon as we land.

    If someone wants to use Tampermonkey that's fine, but Torn APP should be easy to use (or it wouldn't make sense).

This is definitely doable, but the alerting part requires (as the notifications for hospitalization, crimes, etc.) from an external API if we'd like them to be reliable (mobile platforms, especially iOS, have very strict policies on what kind of background work can an app perform). This is the main difference -and disadvantage- comparing to developing for desktop. This is something I'll probably have to design in the future.

    I'll list it as a suggestion, thanks a lot!

    - Serial attacks: attack several targets in a row without returning to the main list (just ensure that the list is properly sorted, but you can skip targets if it isn't).

    - Access your items (for medical/drugs items) in between attacks.
