Story Bible offline

The Story Bible works in the backendless web app and while the desktop app is offline. Your fiction database lives in the browser like the rest of your data, so you can build it up entirely without a server.

What works offline

• Creating and editing entities — characters, settings, items, plot points and lore, with their rich-text descriptions and per-type metadata.
• Linking entities to chapters and pages (the appearances that power the Storyboard badges and the appearance tracker).
• Relationships between entities (ally, rival, family, mentor, romantic, neutral) — created and edited offline.
• Markdown export of the Story Bible.

For the concepts themselves, see the Story Bible overview, the relationship graph, and Arc View and continuity.

What needs the desktop (or a backend)

Two helpers depend on server-side text analysis and are unavailable offline:

• Auto-detect — scanning your chapter and page text for entity-name mentions to propose links. Offline it simply finds nothing; run it on the desktop app (with the backend) to get proposals.
• Continuity checker — the advisory warnings about an entity disappearing, gaps, or empty pages. These are not computed offline.

Everything you author by hand — entities, links, relationships — is stored locally and is waiting for you, fully intact, the next time you open the desktop app where auto-detect and the continuity checker can run over it.
