Ourcana ("Our Arcana") is a Plural System tracker app for managing a collection of members (which can be alters, original characters, personalities, etc). Track your system members, which of them are fronting (if any, or even all of them!), and use markdown to log journals, design rich profiles (with formatting, style elements, and inline media) and track relationships and interactions between all your system's members. Import from SimplyPlural, import and sync data (or active members) with PluralKit, or manage all your data entirely offline with exported copies of your whole "deck"! Ourcana has been tested with up to 20 thousand members. Ourcana's design and UX allude to classic card decks, fantasy fortune-telling, and medieval alchemy and magic with the "Tarot" and its "Major Arcana" cards as a for-fun, lighthearted theme to manage character, system, member, and group data. One can change all the terms inside the app however they'd like in settings such as "deck, "member", "system", "fronting", etc. Color highlights, accents, light and dark mode, and more are all customizable in-app with a rich UI. PluralKit and SimplyPlural color settings transfer automatically! Import from SimplyPlural, import and sync data (or active members) with PluralKit, or manage all your data entirely offline with exported copies of your whole "deck"! PluralKit synchronization is a first-class feature, with sufficient functionality to completely replace the PK dashboard down the line. Deeper PluralKit-specific integration features will launch with our 1.0.0 online update, so stay tuned! This application is made with accessibility and ergonomics in mind. I've developed it for my own online community first and many others adjacent to it all over the net known as the "plural" community. As a journal and personal tracking app, Ourcana keeps all your data private, personal, and offline-first by design. Journals are only stored on the device itself, and the sync settings allow one to choose which other data (if any) to share with PluralKit. Ourcana is priced at $1 USD (or regional) to support the development team, but can be found for free, forever through our community resources. You can try the web app at https://ourcana.space/ before getting the app! Transfer data between devices with the import/export feature.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: TikNote at Free against Ourcana's $0.99. TikNote also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 69%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Ourcana's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On rating, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
