OnlyLore

A home for the world you are building — the people, the years, the factions and the arguments between them — that stays consistent as it grows.

Worldbuilding usually lives in a folder of documents that slowly start contradicting one another. OnlyLore stores the relationships rather than the retellings, so the contradictions surface while you can still decide what is true.

Free while it finds its feet. We do not sell or share what you write.

Built for canon that has to hold up

Derived rather than duplicated, so the answer is the same wherever you ask it.

A family tree that knows what it means

Record parents and nothing else. Siblings, cousins, great-aunts and every degree of removal are derived from the graph, so the tree and the prose cannot quietly disagree.

A timeline laid out by year

Eras, factions, events and lifespans on one axis, positioned by date rather than by generation. Undated entries stay undated.

Every date is a question

Click any year to see everything alive, running or unfolding in it. A death year doubles as “what else was happening then”.

Search that says why it matched

Free text across characters, events, factions, places and article bodies, showing which field matched and the words either side of it.

Bring in the people who write with you

Invite collaborators to a universe as editors or readers. They see that universe and nothing else of yours.

Ask your AI about your own canon

Each universe can issue a scoped access token, so an assistant answers from what you actually wrote instead of inventing something plausible.

Blank means undecided

Nothing here fills a gap in for you. A character with no birth year has no birth year — not a guessed one, not a plausible one. Half-written people are the normal state of a world in progress, and the tool treats them that way rather than tidying them into something you never decided.

Start with one character

Add a second, say who their parents were, and the tree draws itself.
