02 / The character’s truth
Select a character and change perspective. A character’s belief can differ from confirmed events. Dashed connections indicate interpretation rather than a confirmed account.
03 / The event’s truth
Switch between reveal order and event order. A remembered encounter may happen earlier in the story, but it appears only after its reveal chapter.
Make your own novel character tracker
Use Add character to enter a name and first chapter. Use Add connection to record two characters, their relationship, reveal chapter, actual event order and evidence. Green solid lines show trust, red solid lines show conflict, and gold dashed lines show uncertainty. Select a connection to trace its first encounter and later changes.
For mysteries, track when testimony becomes available. For romance, record one-sided feelings. For historical fiction and fantasy, trace changing alliances. Relationship categories are editorial interpretations, not objective emotional scores. This tool does not automatically analyze manuscripts with AI.
Questions from the margins
How are spoilers limited?
The visible map and reader exports omit characters and events revealed after your chosen chapter. No locked nodes or future connection counts appear. The underlying dataset of this static tool is still accessible in browser source.
Where do my notes and stories go?
Your story, chapter and notes stay in local browser storage. There is no account sync. Export a JSON backup before changing devices or clearing browser data.
What do PNG, SVG and JSON contain?
Images contain the map at your current chapter. JSON includes only the revealed story data and notes, excluding later chapters. For a complete author backup, keep a separate copy of the full text in the story editor.
