Fanforge
Keep your hundredth page consistent with your first — story bible, plot board and canon ledger
A character bible with want/wound/motive/secret craft prompts, a four-act board of scene cards, a canon ledger of the rules your world runs on, a relationship graph and a continuity scan that catches POVs who don't exist. Free, no install, nothing sent to a server.

What you can do in Fanforge on the web
Character bible with craft prompts
Name, role, the want, the wound, motive, secret, voice tics, three things they'd never say, three things they always do, appearance and relationships — the same nine craft fields as the iPhone app, with a filled-fields meter per character.
Four-act plot board
Scene cards grouped into Setup, Rising complication, Crisis and Resolution, each with goal, conflict, outcome, POV character, location and canon references — plus a scenes-per-act chart and a per-act view.
Canon ledger
The rules of your world in five categories (magic, technology, geography, language, politics), each a one-paragraph statement that shows every scene citing it.
Continuity scan
Flags scenes with no goal, a POV who isn't a character, canon citations that don't resolve to a ledger rule, and two cards sharing an act and order index — grouped by kind, each flag opening the scene.
Relationship graph
Every character is a node, every declared relationship a labelled edge; focus one character to light up only their lines, and see names cited in a relationship that never got a character page.
Markdown, CSV and outline export
The whole bible as Markdown, the plot board as CSV, or the four-act outline copied to the clipboard — all included, no Plus tier.

Try it with sample data: Loads The Vesper Light — five characters with full craft pages and relationships, ten scene cards across all four acts, four canon rules, and two deliberate continuity flags so the scan has something to catch. You can start fresh at any time.

Questions
Is the web version of Fanforge free?+
Yes. Every screen is free to use: no subscription, no in-app purchases, no account.
Do I need an account?+
No. Open Fanforge and start using it right away. Sign in with Google only if you want to upvote an app, save it to your list, or leave a comment.
Where is my data stored?+
Only in this browser's local storage. Nothing you enter is sent to our servers, so we can't see it, back it up, or restore it. Clearing site data, a private window, or another device starts empty. Export a backup from the in-app menu to keep it.
Is there a Fanforge app for iPhone or Android?+
Not yet. Fanforge is a community proposal: the browser version is complete, and we build the iPhone and Android app once 100 people upvote it. Upvoters get one email when it ships.
