Chronos Atlas is a local-first desktop application for worldbuilders, novelists, and tabletop storytellers. All your world data — characters, locations, events, maps, languages, and narratives — lives entirely on your machine in a SQLite database stored in your browser’s Origin Private File System. Zero cloud dependency, zero latency, complete privacy.

Quickstart

Get Chronos Atlas running locally in minutes — frontend and backend together.

Architecture Overview

Understand the hybrid local-first stack: React frontend, SQLite WASM, and Java auxiliary server.

Core Concepts

Learn about Workspaces, Projects, Entities, Archetypes, and how data flows through the app.

Backend API Reference

Explore the auxiliary Java server REST endpoints for backups, exports, and font compilation.

Everything Your World Needs

Chronos Atlas combines every tool a worldbuilder needs into a single, offline-capable workspace — no subscriptions, no accounts, no internet required.

World Bible

Hierarchical entity library with folders, rich-text editing, and dynamic custom attributes.

Timelines

Multi-track chronological event editor with custom calendar support.

Interactive Maps

Draw and annotate custom world maps with MapLibre, Deck.gl layers, and image upload.

Linguistics

Design conlangs: custom glyphs, lexicons, syllable rules, and .ttf font export.

Writing Hub

Distraction-free rich-text notebooks with slash commands and entity mention linking.

Relationship Graph

Visualize connections between any entities in an interactive force-directed graph.
