Allow the option for the turn tracker to be seen by the GM only

I would like to hide the turn tracker from players view if possible, this would a GM choice and could be changed during the game.  here is my reasons I do not want the players seeing me setting it up. In horror setting I do not want my players to see each others initiative...adds a little mystery to it. it takes up table space...some of my players play on laptops and it takes screen space.
A good suggestion! As a rough workaround, free users can manually create an initiative list on the GM Layer. A Plus or Pro user can use Dynamic Lighting and wall off a portion of the map to put your custom turn order in so you can see it, but players cannot.
I agree with this. The work around kinda sorta works, but does mean more work for manually entering stuff, and it's very nice to have the init list update and jump down to when it's the next ones turn, and the ability where you can add effects that have times, like adding a spell that will last for 10 rounds, which will automatically count down in the initiative field. Which you'd have to manually keep track on with Rabulias suggestion. So.. it's an okay workaround, but I'd really like to just be able to hide it from players, maybe even hide specific things in it from the players. Would be so nice!
I did say it was a rough workaround. :-) As for hiding individual Turn Tracker entries, there is a workaround for that too, and it is a little smoother. Turn entries for tokens on the GM Layer will not show in the Turn Tracker to players. As a Pro user, you can use The Aaron's AICT (Add Invisible Custom Turn) API script (<a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/6606108/hidden-custom-turn-order-items/?pageforid=6606389" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/6606108/hidden-custom-turn-order-items/?pageforid=6606389</a>) which automates the creation of the token and adding the turn on the Turn Tracker.
