Bring your scattered "settings" into one world When you build a long story, your characters, places, organizations, terms, and historical timeline end up scattered across memos and spreadsheets. "Where did I write that character again?" — that search kills your creative momentum. Lorebind is a "second brain" for your worldbuilding, made for novelists, TTRPG game masters, and every kind of creator. Not a heavy, complex tool — we focused on being fast and simple. How worlds work - One story = one world. Put a whole novel or a whole campaign into a single world. - Even if you only half-remember a name, fuzzy search finds it — inside a world, or across all of them. As your projects grow, you never have to remember which world you wrote something in. What you can do - Organize characters / places / organizations / items / terms / events by type, and pick an icon color for each entry - Answer a few questions and auto-generate a starter world (characters, places, relationships, timeline) — no more blank page - Turn names in your text into links with "[[" or "@". Jump to related entries instantly, and see what references them with backlinks - Visualize how characters and factions connect with a relationship map — filter by type and spread it out with two fingers - Fuzzy search and tags to solve "what was that character again?" - A timeline that supports fictional calendars - Attach images like portraits and covers (Plus) - Drop pins on a map image to see how places relate (Plus) - Export your whole world to Markdown for backup (free). Formatted PDF export is Plus - Choose dark, light, or match your device (with a white or beige background in light mode) - Back up your data, and revert a world to an earlier saved copy Fully offline and privacy-first Write anywhere: on the train, on a plane, with no signal. Your data is stored on your device and never sent to our servers. No ads, no tracking. (If you're signed in to iCloud, you can share your worlds between your own devices via Apple's servers. Nothing is sent or received until you tap a button in Settings. Using iCloud is free.) Pricing Create one world for free and use the core features (entries, links, search, timeline, relationship map, world generation, Markdown export). For those who want more, there is the paid plan "Lorebind Plus": - Lorebind Plus: unlimited worlds / image attachments / map view / PDF export - Choose monthly, yearly (with a 7-day free trial), or a one-time purchase (yours forever) - Payment is charged to your App Store account - Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period - You can manage or cancel anytime in Settings. Canceling never removes the worlds or images you've created. If you've had at least one paid period, you can keep editing all your worlds after canceling. If you cancel during the free trial, any additional worlds created during the trial become read-only (your first world always stays editable). Bring the world in your head into your pocket. Build your story world, more freely, with Lorebind. Lorebind Plus (auto-renewable subscription) - Monthly / Yearly plans (a one-time purchase is also available) - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase - Renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period - Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > your Apple ID > Subscriptions Terms of Use (EULA): https://kabosuburi5555-commits.github.io/lorebind-legal/terms_en.html Privacy Policy: https://kabosuburi5555-commits.github.io/lorebind-legal/privacy_en.html

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PiggyNotes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of PiggyNotes's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lorebind's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PiggyNotes ships an update every 7 months, Lorebind every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
