The questions you might have.

A canvas for the layer before the script. You build your world as connected cards — characters, locations, objects, world rules, plot points, a timeline — and the tools read that world back to you: contradictions flagged, relationships drawn, everything findable. You decide what is real here; you write it wherever you write.

Yes. Conflict Detection reads your full world on demand and surfaces direct contradictions — dead-then-alive characters, broken rules, two characters in the same place at the same time — with an explanation per conflict. Available on Core and above; each scan costs 1 Canon Credit.

Never. Refine interviews you — one question at a time, about ten per session — and parses your answers into structured cards on the canvas. It never generates story content and never suggests plot decisions. If you want a tool that writes for you, we are cheerfully the wrong product.

A sealed section for intentional mysteries — the season-two reveal, the hidden motivation, the twist. The conflict engine never flags what's in the Vault, because a deliberate gap isn't a mistake. It's kept completely separate from active canon.

The layer before the script: who your characters are, what your world's rules permit, how every thread connects, what happens when. Most tools start checking your world after you've written it. CanonBoard works before — when contradictions are cheap to fix.

Yes. Geography lets you pin locations to a real-world map or build a fictional one, connected to your locations and timeline. It is part of Canon Canvas, which starts at Core.

These are the power tools, available on Core and above. Smart Import turns a script or treatment into a built-out board; Refine interviews you to draw canon out of what you already know; Conflict Detection reads your whole world and flags contradictions with an explanation. They organize and pressure-test your world — they never write your story.

Yes. Smart Import reads a script, treatment, PDF, or doc and builds your board automatically. Available on Core and above.

Every card, image, note, and frame can be moved, resized, and locked in place; connected to other cards with labeled relationship lines; grouped and multi-selected to move or delete together; and copied and pasted between different projects' canvases. You can also pin reference images, sticky notes, free text, and labeled frames anywhere on the infinite canvas.

CanonBoard's world elements are typed cards: characters, locations, lore, world rules, objects, plot points, timeline events, and relationships. Because cards know what they are, the engine can stress-test the whole world for contradictions and draw the relationships between everything.

An account, and the Media Library, Documents and Full Export on every plan. Canon Canvas and the tools that live in it — the card types, relationship mapping, geography, the timeline, Smart Import, Refine and Conflict Detection — start at Core, along with the Locked Vault and Version History.

CanonBoard's one currency, and what the power tools run on: a credit buys a Conflict Detection scan, a Refine session, or a Smart Import of a small document. Core includes 10 a month and Pro 50, shared across your whole account rather than per seat. Packs never expire: Starter ($2.50 / 10), Standard ($5.00 / 25), Pro Pack ($10.00 / 60).

Credit packs: Starter ($2.50 / 10), Standard ($5.00 / 25), Pro Pack ($10.00 / 60). Packs never expire and are available on every paid tier.

Core is $7/mo with 1 Canon Canvas project and 1 seat; Pro is $19/mo with unlimited projects and 5 seats. Either tier can add seats at $5/seat/month.

Yes. Subscriptions are monthly, cancellation is self-serve, and your projects stay readable and exportable. No retention maze, no chat with a 'specialist.'

You do. Entirely, unambiguously, forever. CanonBoard claims no rights over the worlds, characters or stories you build here, nothing you write is published by us, and you can export all of it at any time.

No. Your story content is never used to train AI models — not ours, not our AI provider's, not anyone's. It only leaves CanonBoard when you trigger one of the three tools that need it: Smart Import, Refine, or Conflict Detection. Everything else — the canvas, relationship mapping, the timeline, the Vault, version history — runs on our own infrastructure and never goes anywhere. When those three do send content out, it goes under commercial API terms that forbid training on it and cap how long it can be kept. That is a contractual commitment from the provider, not a promise we are making on their behalf, and changing any of it would take your explicit opt-in rather than a quiet update to our terms.

Only when you trigger an AI feature — Conflict Detection, Refine, or Smart Import. Those send the relevant content to our AI provider per-request to do the job you asked for.

Always. Full Export produces a formatted PDF of your entire world on every plan, including Free. Your world is portable by design.

Only you and the people you invite, with the role you give them — view, comment, or edit. Projects are private, full stop: there is no public listing and no way for a stranger to find one. The Locked Vault is tighter still, sealed even from the people you have invited to view.

One project, one canvas, every writer on it — live presence, real-time cursors, role permissions. Pro adds comment threads on cards and a change history showing exactly who changed what, when. The episode-seven problem stops existing.

Yes — view and comment roles exist exactly for producers, executives, and directors who need the world without the keys to it.
