The Dexes difference
One world. Every thread connected.
Dexes is more than a collection of separate tools. Choose a date, move a character, change an allegiance, or mention a place in your prose, and the rest of your world understands the connection.
Map the world
Your map art, made alive.
Upload the map you already love, then add the information a static image cannot hold.
Nation and biome regionsRoads, rivers, and curved labelsTime-aware movement paths and pins
Know every detail
A codex shaped like your world.
Use ready-made types or create your own, complete with fields, relationships, inventories, memberships, and dated changes.
Characters, groups, items, and locationsNations, biomes, and custom typesNested tree view and relationship-aware organization
Move through history
See the world as it was then.
Scrub to any day and let maps, codex entries, relationships, and histories update around you.
