A comparison of offline-ready RPG wikis and campaign planners.
LegendKeeper is a fast, beautifully designed campaign manager, but it is a closed cloud service that requires paid hosting. Codex Cryptica brings the same fluid, interactive wiki experience directly to your browser as a local-first, privacy-respecting tool.
Natively track relationships between factions, guilds, and NPCs using the interactive graph explorer.
Automatically mirror your browser sandbox files to a standard directory on your computer's drive.
Integrate custom templates and standard entity metadata directly into the Markdown files.
