Ive tried googling this but can't seem to find anything.

Does someone have a way to track the Die size in FG ?

Obviously i can use a spreadsheet or paper, but the GM can't see those.

just a fyi, to save you looking it up
The Psionic Talent Dice mechanic is as follows:

Changing the Die’s Size. If you roll the highest number on your Psionic Talent die, it decreases by one die size after the roll. This represents you burning through your psionic energy. For example, if the die is a d6 and you roll a 6, it becomes a d4. If it’s a d4 and you roll a 4, it becomes unusable until you finish a long rest.

Conversely, if you roll a 1 on your Psionic Talent die, it increases by one die size after the roll, up to its starting size. This represents you conserving psionic energy for later use. For example, if you roll a 1 on a d4, the die then becomes a d6.

Whenever you finish a long rest, your Psionic Talent die resets to its starting size. When you reach certain levels in this class, the starting size of your Psionic Talent die increases: at 5th level (d8), 11th level (d10), and 17th level (d12).

Psi Replenishment. As a bonus action, you can calm your mind for a moment and restore your Psionic Talent die to its starting size. You then can’t use Psi Replenishment again until you finish a long rest.

thanks in advance

What system are you using?

You could try using the Hero Points for 5E extension.
Its not really what its meant for but you could relabel it and then store the max value in the Hero Points and the current value in the Bard Inspiration field.

No. D&D 5th edition? Rolemaster Classic? Pathfinder 2ed?

No, he means 5e? Pathfinder? Savage Worlds?

There isn't really a way to track this as such. You would need to set up effects (depending on the ruleset) for each of the possible dice rolls. You could use preparation mode to show the current effect and tick it when that is used up. But it's not going to be easy to keep track since there's so many variables. What sort of rolls does this psionic talent affect? And is it additional to the normal dice roll or does it replace the roll altogether.
