Features & workflows

Task-oriented guides to everything you can do in Ordfoss. Each one walks a real job end to end and links to the panels it uses.

Getting started

Make your first project, write your first chapter, and learn the layout.

Writing & editing

The word processor: styles, tables, footnotes, find & replace, and focus modes.

Building your world (the Codex)

Categories, typed fields, aliases, auto-linking, merge/split, and state over time.

The validating timeline

Events, custom calendars, eras and lifespans, and the checks that catch contradictions.

Maps & battle maps

Regions, routes, pins, tokens, grids, measurement, and the player-safe reveal.

Spreadsheets & charts

Formulas, the codex round-trip, formatting, and embeddable charts.

Screenplay mode

Fountain editing, pagination, revisions, reports, and Final Draft round-trip.

Research & sources

The citation manager, BibTeX import, the PDF reader, and supported-claim tracking.

Working with AI

Bring your own provider: chat, inline assists, act mode, Ask Your World, and agents.

Planning & structure

Plot threads, beat sheets, the corkboard, tasks, the board, agenda, and submissions.

Constructed languages

Design a language from its phonology up, and a script to write it in.

Genre & game-master tools

Dice, name and lore generators, random tables, stat blocks, and encounter balancing.

Review & sharing

Comments, version history with diffs, audiences, and the 'View as' lens.

Importing & exporting

Bring a project in from other tools; publish to DOCX, EPUB, PDF, RTF, or a website.

Projects, libraries & backups

Single-file vs folder projects, mounted shared universes, backups, and recovery.

Customizing the app

Themes, perspectives, preferences, rebindable shortcuts, toolbars, and languages.

Automating Ordfoss

Scripts, plugins, and the local MCP server — with pointers to the API reference.
