UniversalDB - World Building Database

UniversalDB — Worldbuilding, Story Planning & Lore Mapping Tool

UniversalDB, or UvDB, is a flexible planning tool for worldbuilders, writers, game designers, TTRPG creators and anyone building a fictional universe.

Whether you are writing a novel, designing a game, planning a campaign, or organising years of scattered lore, UvDB gives you one place to structure your world and see how everything connects.

Create entries for your characters, factions, locations, items, powers, species, events, quests, chapters and more. Add notes, traits, descriptions, history, secrets, relationships and references so you can keep track of who someone is, what they know, what they want, and how they fit into the wider world.

UvDB is built around connection. Link entries together to create relationship maps, family trees, faction networks, power systems, story structures and timelines. Filter those connections to focus on what matters: character relationships, political alliances, magical systems, major events, plot threads, or the hidden structure behind your world.

Use it to plan a new setting from scratch, organise an existing project, or untangle a complex story universe.

Features

• Create and organise worldbuilding entries across multiple categories
• Track characters, locations, factions, items, powers, events and custom lore
