Frequently asked questions

Everything you might be wondering, answered calmly.

Is this an app I have to log into?

No. The Worldbuilder's Codex is a system plus a set of files you own — delivered as plain Markdown, a Notion template, and an Obsidian vault. There is nothing to log into and nothing to subscribe to. Use the tool you already write in.

I already keep notes. Why do I need this?

Because a notes app is a place, not a method. The Codex gives you the missing structure — what a world bible should contain and how to keep it consistent — and drops straight into the app you already use.

Will this work for a sci-fi world, not just fantasy?

Yes. The system is genre-agnostic. Magic systems and starship fleets are organized the same calm way — named, summarized, and linked — so it fits high fantasy, hard sci-fi, or anything in between.

Do you store my world or my writing?

Never. The site is static and asks for nothing. Your codex lives in your own files. And by design it is a codex, not a cage — your world and your words stay entirely yours.

Is this just another giant worldbuilding questionnaire?

No — and that is the point. Thousand-question lists become their own kind of overwhelm. This is a small, calm structure you actually maintain, seeded with the templates worth keeping.
