Character Tracker
Keep every character consistent without leaving the chapter.
Track names, aliases, attributes, relationships, appearances, and timeline facts in one connected character record. Open that context while writing instead of searching through scattered notes.

The minor-character retrieval problem
Your protagonist you remember. It’s the tavern keeper mentioned once in chapter 4 and again in chapter 19 who trips you up — did he have a scar on the left cheek or the right? A character tracker exists to answer exactly that question in seconds.
Structured character cards, not fixed templates
Every character gets a card with a canonical name, type, description, and freeform attributes you define — no rigid template forcing every character into the same fields whether they need them or not.
Aliases and renamed characters
Characters who go by a nickname, a code name, or get renamed mid-draft still resolve to one stable record. Lokee’s entity links survive renames — mention the character anywhere in the manuscript and the link still points to the right card.
Character context inside Writer
Type @ to mention a character while writing, and open their full card in a side panel without losing your place in the chapter — see their attributes, relationships, and notes without switching documents.
Relationships and family connections
Every relationship a character has — allies, rivals, family, faction membership — is visible from their card and from the relationship graph, kept in sync automatically as you add or edit connections.
Character events on the timeline
See what a character was doing and when, cross-referenced against locations and other characters, so timeline consistency doesn’t depend on your memory.
Import and review from existing prose
Import an existing manuscript and run AI extraction to propose character candidates — names, aliases, and attributes drawn from your own text — and review each one before it becomes part of your vault.
Local-first privacy for unpublished manuscripts
A local vault stays on your machine as readable files — no account, nothing uploaded — until you choose to enable Sync for that vault.
FAQ
How do authors keep track of large casts?
By keeping one structured record per character instead of scattered notes — Lokee’s entity cards hold name, aliases, attributes, relationships, and appearances in one place, searchable and linked from the manuscript.
Can I define my own character fields?
Yes. Attributes are freeform key-value pairs you add per character, not a fixed template — track what matters for your story.
What happens if I rename a character?
Nothing breaks. Mentions link to a stable entity ID, not the character’s literal name, so renaming a character updates the display everywhere without breaking any link.
Can Lokee find characters in an existing manuscript?
Yes — import a .docx and run AI extraction to propose character candidates from your own text, then review and approve each one.
Can I see every relationship for one character?
Yes, from their entity card and from the relationship graph, which shows every typed connection they have.
Does Lokee generate characters for me?
No. AI only proposes candidates from text you choose to run it on — every character is reviewed and approved by you before it’s added.
