Everything between your first document and a story bible you can share
CanonTracker is one workflow: bring documents in, let the AI propose facts, decide what is canon, keep it consistent and hand it on. Each area has its own page.
Canon and review
The AI reads your documents and proposes facts, each tied to the sentence it came from. Nothing is canon until someone on your team accepts it, and every canon fact keeps its citation.
- Candidates, each with its source sentence
- A second opinion from the AI critic
- Canon you can browse, search and cite
Conflicts and impact
CanonTracker checks accepted canon for contradictions you would otherwise find in playtest or in a reader’s email. Before you change a fact, it shows which other facts and scenes depend on it.
- Conflicts with the rule that found them
- Impact before you change canon
Wiki and timeline
Every name in accepted canon gets a wiki page with its facts, relationships, timeline and appearances. Summaries, portraits and notes are yours to add; they are labelled as editorial and never feed conflict checks.
- Entity pages that file themselves
- Merging names is a decision, and everything follows it
- Graph and timeline
Writing, import and voice
Bring the documents you already have, write new ones in the app, or upload a recorded take. Sources are hashed and versioned and never changed, so every citation points at text that really exists.
- Import Markdown, text and Word
- Read, write and add facts by hand
- Recordings as sources
Export and share
Hand the canon to people who don’t use the app: a story bible built from accepted canon only, each fact with its citations, plus the manuscript as a book.
- A story bible in the format people read
- Share links you control
Team and roles
Work alone or as a studio. Every decision carries the name of the person who made it, and the audit log keeps the full history.
- Studios, projects and roles
- Ask, together
- An audit trail nobody can rewrite
On the roadmap, not built yet
Branching canon for player choices, project-level access, episodes and reveals for series, game script formats (Ink, Yarn Spinner, articy:draft, Twine) and a translation glossary. We list them here so you know what isn’t there today.
Start with a finished story
Create a studio and load The Ashbell Pass or Broken Tide: real documents, AI candidates to review and planted contradictions to find. Or run CanonTracker on your own server; it is open source.
