Characters: A canvas of characters with labelled relationships and notes. Each character has a profile with want, need, stakes, strengths, weaknesses, background and idiosyncrasies.
Character arcs: Every character starts with a Lie or a Truth. The arc pyramid shows the three arcs that can follow, with keywords you place between the outcomes.
Sequences: The story as a grid of four acts, twelve sequences and twenty-four beats, with one column for each arc the main protagonist could take. Tips in the empty cells suggest what each beat does.
Scenes: A branching canvas of scenes and links, with up to five options per scene, set-variable nodes, if clauses, notes and time markers.
World: Premise, environment, period, power, culture, core contradiction and everyday life, plus a list of world rules.
Locations: The places of the story with their function, symbolism and specifics.
Sounding Board
Optional AI assistant that reads the open project, answers questions about the story and suggests text for any field.

Runs locally with Ollama or in the cloud with Claude. Off until you switch it on in Settings.
Standing instructions for your own rules; images and PDFs as attachments.
MCP server lets Claude Desktop or Claude Code work on the frontmost project.
