Plurality is a private journal and fronting tracker made for plural systems. Keep track of who is in front, record your days, and manage your members and groups in one calm, customizable space. Whether you use it on its own or alongside PluralKit, Plurality is built to feel like a friendly home for your system. Your data stays private by default, and everything stays in sync across your devices. TRACK FRONTING Log who is fronting and browse your front history at a glance, so your whole system stays on the same page. MEMBERS AND GROUPS, YOUR WAY Create rich member profiles and organize them into groups. Switch between List, Cards, and Banner views to see your system the way you like. Add custom banners by image, GIF, or URL. THEMES THAT FOLLOW YOUR FRONTER Turn on per-member themes and watch the app gently shift colors to match whoever is currently in front, with a smooth transition. It is fully optional and easy to toggle. TWO-WAY PLURALKIT SYNC Link your PluralKit system and keep names, pronouns, birthdays, avatars, and banners in sync in both directions. Deletions sync too, so a member you remove stays removed and does not reappear later. JOURNAL YOUR DAYS Write entries and keep a running record for your whole system, all in a private space that belongs to you. SYNC ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Your members, journal, and images stay up to date everywhere you sign in. Edits and deletions carry across cleanly, so every device tells the same story. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Plurality keeps your information yours. There is no social feed and no account required to get started. Your sync is private to you. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL TIP JAR The meaningful features are free. If you would like to support ongoing development, there is an optional tip jar. No locked essentials, ever. Plurality is a welcoming, actively developed home for plural systems, and your feedback shapes where it goes next. We are so glad you are here.
