Creating Items on Notebook.ai
Books, weapons, artifacts, and other items: track who made them, who owns them, and more.
Creating items on Notebook.ai is easy.
To get started, just click Items under the "Worldbuilding" header in the site sidebar. You'll be able to see or edit all of your existing item pages and create new ones at any time. You can also customize your Item template for all of your pages here.
Search your items
If you've got a lot of items, you can quickly get around to the right one with Notebook.ai's full-text search. It searches your entire notebook for anything you wrote about that item.
You can also filter your items by tag, whether you've favorited that page, and which universe it's in.
Private by default
Your ideas are valuable. Every item you create in Notebook.ai is owned by you, completely private by default, and only accessible to you.
But of course, you also have full control over that privacy and can share any item page you want, however you want, whenever you want.
Items are free to create
Free users can create an unlimited number of items on Notebook.ai.
Notebook.ai's free tier was designed to be more than enough for most creators, with Premium pages serving as a way for more advanced worldbuilders to further flesh out their rich worlds in even more detail.
emoji_events Get a head start with a detailed, customizable item template
You can fill out as little or as much as you'd like on every new item. You'll see progress indicators every time you edit it to show where you can make progress on and our system will intelligently generate questions for you around the site that will automatically save your answers to the proper place on your item page.
Templates are also fully customizable across every item in your notebook.
You can browse the default template for items here; just click a category to see the questions it starts with.

Building entire fictional worlds is hard! And it gets even harder when you've got ideas that span multiple universes or worlds.
To help you focus on what's relevant, Notebook.ai lets you focus on a single universe at a time. This hides your notebook pages from all other universes and lets you work on your world without distractions.
To focus on a single universe, simply select it from the top-left dropdown of any page.
AVAILABLE ON ALL PAGES
group_add Invite others to collaborate
Notebook.ai lets you add an unlimited number of collaborators to your universes for free. Each one has full access to work alongside you on your items and other pages within that universe.
