Key features

Direct-to-Page GM Annotation Pins

Right-click anywhere on an adventure module to drop purpose-built pins for Bookmarks, Monster Statblocks, NPCs, or Notes. Everything is anchored directly to the source text and map layout, keeping everything in context instead of buried in external tabs.

Interactive Map-to-Page Link Tokens

Drop and drag visual jump tokens on dungeon keys and tactical maps that link directly to monster statblocks or room descriptions across distant pages. Click a token on the map to navigate straight to the relevant encounter without losing your place.

Plan-View Tabletop Quick Roller

Spawn and roll transient dice (d2 pass/fail coin, d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, d100) right on top of the PDF. Designed with clean, top-down orthogonal silhouettes and draggable tokens to resolve quick checks, random tables, and traps without leaving the reading view.

Built-In PDF Outline & In-Context Search

Navigate sprawling sourcebooks using the collapsible document outline extracted straight from the PDF's native Table of Contents, backed by instant full-text search with contextual snippet previews.

100% Local-First & Portable Backup

The project is 100% private & client-side, so your annotations and PDFs never touch an external server - everything runs in your browser with zero account setup or cloud lock-in. Back up, share, and migrate entire campaign prep notes, highlights, and pins across devices using clean JSON export and merge-import tools.
