A Trails Weaver free board with a sample world

Loved by 1,500+ worldbuilders, game masters & writers

I've completely switched over to Trails Weaver this year. I'm not using any other tool for keeping GM notes.

Being able to visualize what clues were at what locations and move things around was soooo satisfying.

I just signed up for the monthly Pro. While I like Legend Keeper, this is so much better for the way I write, visualize and organize.

Free board

A canvas where cards nest inside cards

A Miro-style board for your whole world. A coast holds its harbor, the harbor holds its people. Nothing moves unless you move it.

Nest to any depth

Put an element card inside another element card. A region holds its cities, a city holds its taverns, a tavern holds its regulars. No other worldbuilding app does this.

Sticky notes with real rich text

Not scraps of plain text: a note here can hold headings, tables, to-do lists, and images, all rendered right on the board.

Draw the connections

Link cards with arrows you can label, color, and restyle. Show who answers to whom and what road leads where.

🧀 The heist plan

  • Buy the biggest cheese wheel in town.
  • Roll it past the vault guards.
  • Steps three through nine.
  • Name the cheese Gerald.
Sticky notes

Notes that think they're pages

Headings, tables, and to-do lists, right on a sticky. Connect them when the plot does.

Relations

Every relationship, in one graph

Every connection you add lands here on its own. A living web you can drag, filter, and explore.

It builds itself

Add a row to any page's relations table. The graph draws the link for you.

A graph you can feel

Drag any node and the whole web reacts until it settles, like Obsidian's graph.

Follow one thread

Filter to any character, place, or faction and see only their ties.

Maps

Maps that go as deep as your world

Upload a map, draw on top of it, and tie every pin to the world behind it.

Bring your own map

Upload any image, paste a URL, or reuse one you've saved. Hand-drawn, satellite, or fantasy.

Roads, regions, and pins

Draw roads and territories with colors and labels, then drop pins for towns, dungeons, and secrets. Tie any of them to an element and open its full page straight from the map.

Zoom layers

Reveal detail as you go deeper: continents → regions → cities → districts. Zoom back out and crowded pins gather into clean clusters.

Rich pages

Pages with real depth

Open any card into a full page. Stack properties like bricks.

A deity page: rich text, a quote with an @mention, a secret callout, and a table

Your own types

No fixed schema: gods, ships, spells.

@mention anything

Click to jump anywhere.

Secrets stay secret

Readers and players never see them.

Hierarchy

Family trees for more than families

Bloodline or chain of command: the tree lays itself out either way.

A family tree where each node is a couple, branching down to their children

One tree, any hierarchy:

Your page

On the record

Professor Alric Vane lectures on marine biology and quietly funds half the harbor's repairs. The faculty calls him the most generous man in Kell's Landing.

Secret

Vane has been counting the town's newborns for the congregation beneath the water. The repairs are a tithe, and the harbor was sold promised away long before he was born.

Each exists somewhere, in pieces. All three in one app: that's the part you won't find elsewhere.
