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.
