Your book still feels like a book
Open PDFs and EPUBs, follow numbered-entry links, bookmark a page, or reflow a cramped layout.
PathScribe
Read the book, roll the dice, track the details, and keep a journal without bouncing between apps. PathScribe brings your PDF and EPUB gamebooks into one calm, private workspace.
- Local-first
- Offline-friendly
- Optional online features
Stay in the story
Everything you reach for during a solo game is already there, so a rules check or journal note does not pull you out of the moment.
Your table is always within reach
Keep sheets, tracks, clocks, oracles, cards, maps, and physical dice together with the book.
Your journal keeps the useful context
Save rolls and cards as journal blocks, or link an excerpt straight back to the page it came from.
THE DROWNED KEEP · PAGE 94
“Two armoured figures stand out of the water, blades drawn.”
Turn a passage into something useful
Highlight text in a PDF and send it where you need it: into your journal, onto an opponent card, or into a new progress track. PathScribe carries the words across; you stay in charge of what they mean.
Bring your own library
You use the PDF and EPUB files you already own. No books are bundled with the app.
Change the system, not the app
PathScribe reads game-system profiles instead of baking one set of rules into the app. Four openly licensed systems are included, and you can import others or build your own.
Let your own book do the setup
When PathScribe recognises a title, it can build its entry index and oracle tables from your copy. You see a preview before anything is saved.
Tools when you need them
Quiet when you don’t
PathScribe keeps the practical parts of solo play close without taking over the game. Open the pieces your session needs and leave everything else out of the way.
You interpret the roll
PathScribe can roll the dice and mark a track. What the result means still comes from you and the game.
Your notes keep their context
Journal excerpts link back to the page, while rolls and drawn cards stay useful instead of becoming pasted text.
Mistakes are easy to undo
Almost everything you delete moves to Trash first, with its attached files still intact.
Your campaign is portable
Export the whole collection as a ZIP file for safekeeping or to continue on another device.
