Core Features

Chat with the AI about your world. Ask questions, brainstorm ideas, or get help writing descriptions directly from your notes. Use the system proxy for free access, or add your own API key for direct connection.

The Oracle works in two modes: System Proxy (free, uses shared access) or Custom API Key (direct connection to Google Gemini). The status badge in the Oracle sidebar shows which mode is active.

Navigate your lore through a dynamic, interactive web. Nodes grow visually larger as visible links accumulate around them, making major lore hubs easy to identify at a glance.

Use the briefing field to edit the world blurb directly. If it is empty, the Generate Briefing button appears inside the field; if it already has text, the generate action moves to the bottom next to Save Briefing. Tagged `frontpage` entities stay pinned at the top of recent entities and show their chronicle/body preview there.

Use the linked folder as an external copy of your world. Save writes your internal archive to the folder for backups or editing in tools like Obsidian. Load pulls folder changes back into the app when you want to bring them in.

Search builds quietly in the background when a large vault opens. Early results may be incomplete while indexing is still running. If indexing fails, use Retry indexing to rebuild the local search index for the current vault.

The 'SAVE TO FOLDER' button writes your internal work to the linked folder. It only enables when you have unsaved changes, keeping the folder copy current.

Use 'LOAD FROM FOLDER' in the Vault Selector to refresh your internal archive with changes from the linked folder. A safety gate warns you if unsaved internal work would be overwritten.

Your notes stay on your device. We use local storage for maximum security with no cloud accounts required.

Connect people and locations. Click one item then another to link them together, or right-click two selected items to connect them.

Save art made by the Artificial Intelligence (AI). You can drag any image created by the AI onto an entry to save it as their portrait.

The AI finds new links in your notes and suggests connections you might have missed.

Use the toolbar to quickly Apply Labels to multiple items or Merge duplicates into a single entry.

Keep secrets hidden. Hide items from your map so players don't see them during a session. Press `P` to toggle the preview.

Change your world. Click the folder name at the top to switch to a different story.

Select dates seamlessly using smooth, center-snapping scroll wheels. Features side-by-side vertical tracks, intercalary anchors, inline repair warnings on calendar change, and quick keyboard year/day overrides.

Safe file loading. If a file import stops, just pick the file again to finish where you left off.

Instantly transform the look and feel of your workspace. Choose from a variety of distinct visual themes—from Ancient Parchment to Sci-Fi Terminal—to perfectly match the genre of your story.

For Advanced Tier users: Instantly generate visuals for your lore. Look for the DRAW button on Oracle responses, entity panels, Zen mode, and graph nodes. The AI uses Art Direction from normal notes or entities, then Category Defaults and the active Default Art Style.

Explore the tool with pre-loaded sample data. Any changes you make are transient. Click 'Save as World' in Settings or the Oracle to keep your work.

Prefer a non-AI experience? Enable AI Disabled in Settings to disable all AI-powered features. The Oracle remains available for utility commands like /roll, /create, /connect and /merge.

Our marketing and legal pages are pre-baked as static HTML for instant loading and perfect search engine indexing, while your data remains private and client-side.

Plot your world data onto custom geographic or tactical canvases with persistent pins and Fog of War.

Turn the map into a lightweight tactical board. Add tokens, move them with grid snapping, manage initiative, measure distances, and save encounters without changing the underlying map.

Open Vault Entities in the VTT sidebar to search your world notes, then drag characters, creatures, or items straight onto the map to create tokens. A ghost marker follows your cursor so placement stays precise.

Design custom layouts like conspiracy boards or quest flowcharts. Drag entities onto the infinite board, draw visual links with custom themed labels, and navigate via name-based URL slugs. Includes a theme-aware MiniMap for seamless navigation.

Perform polyhedral dice rolls via the /roll command in Oracle chat or using the dedicated Die Roller modal. Click dice icons in quick succession to roll multiple dice at once, and use the reroll button to instantly repeat any previous roll.

Quickly browse and filter all your world entities via the persistent sidebar. Search by title, labels, or alternative names (aliases). Switch between List and Label views to group entities by their labels. Click label pills to filter the explorer, or use Ctrl/Cmd+Click to combine multiple labels for a focused drill-down.

Access your core tools (Oracle, Explorer) via the Activity Bar on the leftmost edge. Tools remain persistent as you switch between Graph, Map, and Canvas views.

While you chat, the Oracle can identify new characters, locations, and items. In Settings, choose whether discoveries are off, shown as chips for review, or saved automatically as drafts.

Entity Discovery controls record creation. Connection Discovery controls graph links. Keep connections on Suggest if you want proposed edges reviewed before they appear on the graph.

Dynamically resize the left and right sidebars to suit your workspace needs. Hover over the inner edge of a sidebar and drag left or right. Your custom widths are automatically saved across sessions.

Entities created via Auto-Archive appear as 'Drafts'. Find them in the Review tab of the Entity Explorer or as semi-transparent 'Ghost' nodes on the graph canvas. Click Verify to make them permanent.

Instantly generate or refine entity descriptions. The AI produces both a player-facing 'Chronicle' and a GM-facing 'Lore' entry based on your existing notes, tags, and connections. Review and save changes directly within the entity detail view.

Seamlessly establish peer-to-peer connections between campaign hosts and trusted guests. Features an active heartbeat monitor to maintain connection stability, measure round-trip latency, and support automatic reconnection backoffs during brief signal drops.

Capture fleeting ideas instantly. Press Ctrl+I or Cmd+I from anywhere to toggle the glassmorphic fast scratchpad. Jot down thoughts, auto-save drafts, and use the 'Elevate' button to let the AI structure your raw notes into complete Character, Location, or Item draft entities.

Organize your world hierarchically. Drag and drop entities in the explorer to nest them under parents (e.g. putting a tavern inside a city). Expand/collapse nodes using the chevron. When you delete a parent, its children are promoted to the root level. Cycle detection prevents recursive loop errors.
