Plot Spark ignites your next idea - with a single roll. Whether you're working on a novel, a short film, a tabletop RPG campaign, or just need a story for tonight: Plot Spark instantly delivers a character, a conflict, and a setting - random, unexpected, and inspiring. HOW IT WORKS Pick a kit, roll the dice - and get a complete story prompt with character, conflict, setting, and a wild twist. Sounds too simple? That's exactly the point. Prefer instant results over a dice animation? Turn the roll animation off and get straight to the prompt. ELEVEN KITS, EVERY GENRE Plot Spark ships with eleven curated kits - from neon-soaked noir and cosmic comedy to high-seas adventure, Cold War espionage, and Victorian hollow-earth expeditions. And you can create your own kits and fill every slot with your own ideas - tuned to exactly the tone you need. JOURNAL & MARKDOWN EXPORT Save every hit straight to your journal. Write notes, develop the idea, or let it simmer - your best prompts won't get lost. Export any entry, or your whole journal, as clean Markdown and keep working in your favorite writing app. FROM SPARK TO GAMEBOOK Your exported prompts are plain Markdown - the same format Story Weaver speaks, our free open-source language for writing branching gamebooks with choices, dice, and fights. Grow a rolled prompt into a full playable adventure: github.com/ComicSans/story-weaver NO SUBSCRIPTION. NO ACCOUNT. Plot Spark needs no internet connection, no login, and no subscription.

Sticky Notea is a lightweight, thoughtfully designed place for the words you want to keep close. When an idea arrives, you shouldn't have to build a system before writing it down. Open the app, start typing, and your thought becomes a note you can see, revisit, and arrange with ease. Use it for a quick reminder, today's to-do list, a coffee recipe, a travel plan, a line of writing, or any small detail worth keeping. Designed for everyday notes: • Multiple ways to view Move between Standard List, Compact List, and Card View. Scan many notes at once, or browse them like paper notes laid out in front of you. • Simple organization Keep things clear with groups, search, pinned notes, favorites, and colors—without turning your notes into a complicated filing system. • Beautiful note images Turn a note into a polished, paper-inspired image for sharing ideas, lists, announcements, and quote cards, or save it directly to Photos. • Make it feel like yours Choose from paper colors, themes, layouts, and display options, with full Dark Mode support. A clean interface, gentle colors, and subtle motion make writing and organizing feel calm and natural. • Rich text, kept simple Use headings, lists, checklists, quotes, and bold text when you need more structure. Capture one line in a moment, or shape a longer thought at your own pace. • Local backup Export and restore your notes manually whenever you want to keep a copy or move them to another device. • App lock Protect personal notes with your device passcode or biometrics. Sticky Notea stays focused on writing, arranging, and seeing your notes clearly. It is simply a small piece of paper, ready whenever an idea finds you.
