For writers

A story bible that keeps your continuity.

Mimir is worldbuilding software for novelists, screenwriters and series writers. It keeps your characters, places, cultures and history as one connected world, so a birth year, a family line or a promise made in book one is never lost in a folder of notes.

Available The full local toolset is free on Mimir Core.

Your story bible

Every fact in one place, linked to every other.

Write an entry for a character, place, culture, faction, event or artefact. Type [[ and a name to link another entry as you write.

Links work both ways. Open any entry and Mimir shows every other entry that mentions it, with the sentence that does, so you can see at a glance where a character turns up.

Make your own entry types and fields when the built-in ones do not fit, and keep the whole bible as ordinary Markdown files on your own computer.

  • Characters, places, cultures, factions, events and more
  • Links and backlinks with the passage that mentions each entry
  • Your own entry types in the Entry type editor
  • History of saved versions, so any earlier draft of an entry can be restored

A character entry with structured fields and every link in one place.
Chronology

See when things happened, and who is related to whom.

Build your world's own calendar, with its months, weeks and moons, then place events on a timeline you can zoom from centuries down to days. Family trees draw themselves from the relationships on each character.

Spoiler levels keep reader-safe material apart from what only you should see. Mark an entry public, teased, revealed (with the chapter it is revealed in) or hidden.

  • A timeline and calendar on your world's own calendar
  • Family trees drawn from your relationships
  • Spoiler levels from public to author-only
  • A safe-to-publish export that respects them

Plotting

Plan the story beside the lore it depends on.

Lay out story beats in the Narrative Planner, join them with labelled consequences and give each beat its art. When the shape feels right, turn beats into real entries.

On Worldsmith and above, Lore Consistency Review reads your prose against your structured details and connected entries, and shows each contradiction with its evidence: a date in the text that disagrees with a birth year, or a character described as alive after their entry says they died. It suggests; you decide.
