Realm Lore
Realm Lore is a free, open-source Mac app for building and keeping track of fictional worlds. It gives writers and game masters a wiki for characters, places and lore, plus a manuscript editor, timeline, maps and optional tabletop tools. Everything is saved as plain Markdown files on your Mac, with no account and no cloud.
Highlights
- Wiki entries for characters, creatures, races, factions, locations, things and lore, with fields for each type, automatic links between entries and relationship tracking.
- A Library of books and chapters with a paged manuscript editor, word goals, focus mode, and export to EPUB, PDF, HTML and Word.
- A Timeline of events grouped into eras and linked to your entries.
- Maps you can draw from scratch or build on an image, with layers, stamps and pins that link to your entries.
- A Name Generator for characters, towns, taverns, ships, deities and more.
- D&D tools: dice roller, initiative tracker, encounter tables, spell slots, loot and a reference compendium.
- Plain files you own, with scheduled backups and exports.
