What’s new in Canonex

• Jot: press Ctrl + J anywhere to capture a note. Tag records with @name, or drop a record onto the note. During a live session it files into the session for wrap-up; while you prepare, it lands in the plan.
• GM bar: docks along the bottom during a session, with Jot, quick NPC, names by ancestry, DCs by level, clocks, rules lookup and Start encounter.
• Design work has begun on Facts, the foundation for tracking who knows what. See the Roadmap.

• Campaign memory on Home: what changed since last session, open and quiet threads, returning faces, and forgotten prep.
• Last time we saw… on every record sheet, and filters for records never used in a session.
• Trace a connection in the Campaign Graph to light up the chain between two records.
• Themes: seven presets or your own colours, fonts, corners and background art.
• Session builder: the whole Codex beside the outline, ready to drag onto beats.
• Encounter builder: drag creatures, NPCs, Bestiary entries, places, factions and treasure onto an encounter. Every creature is its own participant, with Elite and Weak by the rules.
• Reference cards open web pages and PDFs inside the card.
• The Campaign Library shows each campaign’s art, what’s up next and the party.
• Deleting a campaign sends it to the Recycle Bin.

• Following Foundry: combats started in Foundry appear in Canonex automatically, with live hit points, AC and conditions for every combatant. A Foundry combat can be recorded as a Canonex encounter.
• The Bestiary: creatures and NPCs by game system, built from the Foundry compendiums on your disk, with token art where available.
• Import sheets from Pathbuilder 2e JSON and Foundry actor exports.
• Re-classify records by dropping them on a type header in the Codex.
• Party members are tied to each other, and Canonex reopens where you left it.
• Areas open noticeably faster.

• The Campaign Graph: every record and tie, with structural, story and secret ties drawn differently, and a Matrix view.
• Player view: a separate window that shows only the portrait, handout, map or read-aloud you choose, never the GM desk.
• Custom record types: a type editor, with type colours in Settings.
• Layout prefabs: save a proven desk arrangement and reuse it in any session.
• Every record on the same sheet, with shared templates for what many records have in common.
• The first version of Canonex follows Foundry.

• Pin cards to the edge of the view and lock them in place; snap to grid.
• Saved layouts for scenes and runs, switched in an instant.
• Reference tiles for web addresses: paste a link onto the desk.
• Undo and redo, and avoid overlaps.
• Every record type has its own colour.

• Dossier sheets: an NPC reads like a dossier, a creature like a combat instrument, with Location, Faction and player character sheets to match.
• Native PF2e stat blocks that match Foundry imports.
• Foundry VTT bridge through the REST API relay: link records to actors and pull their sheets.
• Journals on every record, assets, and a Party board.
• A zoomable desk with a minimap.
• Drag records onto sheet sections to tie them.

• Encounter builder and runner foundation.
• Player characters and parties as records.
• Scene Runner: the live cockpit for the session being run.
• Session wrap-up: promote what happened at the table into campaign canon, and carry unfinished material forward.

• Campaign Library: several campaigns, each with its own data, and quick switching.
• Campaign Home and area navigation.
• The Codex and the record model underneath everything.
• Sessions: outlines of beats, drag and drop, and context-aware summon.
• Campaigns are stored as folders of readable files.

The first prototype proved the defining interaction: summon records onto a desk, move them near each other, and watch their relationships appear.
