Creating Technologies on Notebook.ai

Create your gadgets, gizmos, and all kinds of advanced (or primitive) technologies.

Creating technologies on Notebook.ai is easy.

To get started, just click Technologies under the "Worldbuilding" header in the site sidebar. You'll be able to see or edit all of your existing technology pages and create new ones at any time. You can also customize your Technology template for all of your pages here.

Search your technologies

If you've got a lot of technologies, 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 technology.

You can also filter your technologies by tag, whether you've favorited that page, and which universe it's in.

Private by default

Your ideas are valuable. Every technology 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 technology page you want, however you want, whenever you want.

Technologies are a Premium page

Technology notebook pages require an active Premium subscription to create, but users on free plans can view and edit their existing technology pages at any time.

Notebook.ai is your personal worldbuilding notebook; any page you create is yours forever and you'll never lose access to any part of it for any reason — even if you downgrade to a free account in the future.

router Get a head start with a detailed, customizable technology template

You can fill out as little or as much as you'd like on every new technology. 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 technology page.

Templates are also fully customizable across every technology in your notebook.

You can browse the default template for technologies here; just click a category to see the questions it starts with.

To focus on a single universe, simply select it from the top-left dropdown of any page.
