一款离线世界观构建与本地 Wiki 工具，面向作家、跑团主持和桌游创作者，笔记以纯 Markdown 文件保存在本机，无需注册或联网。

核心能力

  • 用 [[Wikilinks]] 加自动补全连接页面，并提供反向链接面板
  • 支持角色、地点等 Wiki 式信息框与可复用页面模板
  • 支持导入 Word/Google Docs 的 .docx 与 MediaWiki/Fandom 的 .xml 转 Markdown
  • 可直接打开现有 Obsidian 库，Markdown 格式开箱兼容
  • 内置主题编辑器与库诊断，可查断链

容易踩的坑

Windows 安装包未签名，Defender 会拦截，需点「More info」再「Run anyway」；macOS 版未签名，需在终端执行 sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/chronicler.app 才能打开；项目为 source-available（PolyForm Shield 1.0.0），不可修改、再分发或用于竞品。

全部 release
  1. v0.63.0-alphaChronicler v0.63.0-alpha最新正式版2026-11-03 · 2026-11-03 11:48 UTC

    ✨ Added

    • Timelines: Added interactive timelines as a new .timeline file type. Plot events on named lanes across a zoomable time axis, navigate to linked pages by clicking event chips, and see hover previews. Events are created by double-clicking a lane and edited through a date-aware modal.
    • Timelines: Timelines are driven by fully custom calendars - define your own months, leap rules, eras, and weekdays, or start from a Gregorian or example fantasy calendar preset. Calendars are created and edited from a dedicated modal with live validation and a formatted-date preview.
    • Timelines: Dated notes can be ingested automatically into timeline lanes based on their tags or folder, so your existing notes appear as events without manual entry.

    Installation & Notes

    • 💻 Windows: Download the .msi file to install.
    • 🐧 Linux: Download the .AppImage (for most distributions) or the .deb / .rpm file for your package manager. For Flatpak, see below.
    • 🍎 macOS: Download the aarch64.dmg (Apple Silicon) or x64.dmg (Intel) file.

    📦 Flatpak (recommended on rolling distros)

    Adds Chronicler as a Flatpak remote so future updates flow through flatpak update:

    flatpak install --user --from https://flatpak.chronicler.pro/chronicler.flatpakref

    Or one-shot install the bundle from this release:

    flatpak install --user Chronicler.flatpak

    ⚠️ A Note for Windows Users

    When you first run the installer, Microsoft Defender may show a "Windows protected your PC" screen. This is expected because Chronicler is a new application from an independent developer and is not yet code-signed.

    To proceed, simply click "More info" and then "Run anyway".

    🍎 A Note for macOS Users

    Chronicler for macOS is currently unsigned. The first time you open it, you will need to run a command in the Terminal.

    1. Download the .dmg file and move the app to your Applications folder.
    2. Open the Terminal app.
    3. Run this command: 
      sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/chronicler.app
    4. The app will now open correctly.

    🛡️ Security & Trust

    While the initial installer is unsigned, all in-app updates are cryptographically signed by me. This is handled by Tauri's built-in updater, which verifies the update signature before installing it. This ensures that all future updates are authentic and have not been tampered with.

    🐞 Fixed

    • Canvas: Fixed the whole canvas going blurry when zoomed in. This happened whenever a page card showed an infobox with image tabs.
    • Canvas: Fixed the selected tool in the canvas toolbar showing as a solid block instead of its icon.
    • Canvas: Fixed canvas tabs being labelled "Welcome" instead of showing the canvas's name and icon.
    • Canvas: Fixed connections between cards not showing on Windows.

    查看更新说明

    ✨ Added

    • Canvas: Added a freeform brainstorming canvas as a new .canvas file type. Create one from the file tree context menu or the New Canvas button. Canvases support markdown text cards, image cards, page embeds, and labeled arrows, with pan and zoom, multi-select, drag, resize, per-card colour, and full undo/redo. The format is compatible with Obsidian's JSON Canvas spec.

    ✨ Added

    • Welcome: Added a per-vault "Welcome Banner" setting to choose between the default and a Sci-Fi hero image on the welcome page.

    🐞 Fixed

    • Maps: Fixed map tiles appearing blurry when first opening a map, particularly on high-DPI displays. The tiler now selects the correct resolution level for your screen's pixel density. Existing tile caches will regenerate automatically on first open.

    🧭 Philosophy

    Your notes. Your files. Your rules.

    Chronicler is built on three principles:

    • Ownership: Your data is stored in plain-text Markdown on your machine. Not in a proprietary database. Not on someone else's server. You can read your files with any text editor, forever.
    • Privacy: The app works 100% offline. No accounts, no analytics, no telemetry. What you write is yours alone.
    • Simplicity: Powerful tools for linking ideas, without the setup headache. Chronicler works out of the box with zero configuration.

    🚀 Getting Started

    1. Download the latest release from the Releases Page for Windows, macOS, or Linux.

      ⚠️ Windows Users

      Microsoft Defender may show a "Windows protected your PC" screen. This is normal for new unsigned applications from independent developers. Click "More info" then "Run anyway". The application is safe, and you can verify the source code here on GitHub.

      🍎 macOS Users

      Chronicler for macOS is currently unsigned. To open it:

      1. Download the .dmg and move the app to Applications.
      2. Open Terminal and run: 
        sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/chronicler.app
      3. The app will now open correctly.

      🛡️ Security & Trust

      While the installer is unsigned, all in-app updates are cryptographically signed using Tauri's built-in updater, ensuring every update is authentic and untampered.

    2. Create a Vault: Pick a folder on your computer where Chronicler will store your notes.

    3. 📘 Read the Help Guide: Learn Markdown, wikilinks, infoboxes, and organization.

    4. Start Writing!

    ❤️ About the Developer

    Chronicler is built by a single independent developer (hi, that's me! 👋) working on the project full-time. I rely entirely on community donations as my only source of income. Your support keeps this project alive.

    🌍 Translations

    Chronicler's interface is translated by its community, and I would love to have your language. Translations are plain JSON files.
