Polywick product
StoryServer One local workspace for outlines, schedules, contacts, and automation.
A fast, local-first desktop application that combines notepads, typed folders, calendar views, PhoneBook forms, Gantt columns, cross-tabs, and Lua scripting in one durable place.
Local-first PIM
One workspace, many working surfaces.
StoryServer brings outlines, calendar views, PhoneBook forms, folder columns, ticklers, alarms, cross-tabs, and scripting into one native desktop application. It is designed for dense information work: capture loose notes, assign them to typed folders, show those folders as columns, and return to the same items through the view that makes sense today.
Saved notepad views
Create tabs for projects, inboxes, contacts, calendars, and custom workflows, each with its own columns, filters, sort, colors, and tab position.
Typed folders and columns
Use text, number, date, checkmark, pop-up list, lookup, and Gantt folders as reusable data dimensions across the workspace.
Calendar, ticklers, alarms
Manage appointments, recurring notes, related dates, named alarms, natural-language dates, and Google Calendar sync.
PhoneBook and forms
Use rolodex-style contact filtering, customizable forms, outline notes, dialing, mail merge, and address printing.
Automation and analysis
Run LuaJIT scripts, build Auto-Assign rules, use a Script Workspace, and summarize data with cross-tabs and aggregations.
Long-lived information
Built for local, daily-driver work.
StoryServer stores your workspace in a SQLite database and suits people who want planning, contacts, research, schedules, forms, import/export, and recurring reference material in the same recoverable place.
- Items can belong to many folders at once, so one row can appear in every relevant notepad.
- Import and export via OPML, CSV, Markdown, RTF, HTML, plain text, and templates.
- Automatic backups, database recovery tools, archive/compact, synchronized copies, and USB portable mode support long-running databases.
- Lua scripting, Rule Builder, DDE interop, and custom dialogs give power users room to automate.
