Ourcana: An app for Plural Systems
Ourcana ("Our Arcana") is a Plural System tracker app for managing a collection of members (which can be alters, original characters, personalities, etc). We support Web, iOS/iPadOS/macOS, and Android with Linux and Windows support soon to come!
Features
Track your system members, which of them are fronting (if any, or even all of them!), and use markdown to log journals, design rich profiles (with formatting, style elements, and inline media) and track relationships and interactions between all your system's members.
Ourcana has been tested with up to 20 thousand members. My partner is polyfrag, and I'm learning I probably am too, so this is a top priority!
Theming
Ourcana's design and UX allude to classic card decks, fantasy fortune-telling, and medieval alchemy and magic with the "Tarot" and its "Major Arcana" cards as a for-fun, lighthearted theme to manage character, system, member, and group data. One can change all the terms inside the app however they'd like in settings such as "deck, "member", "system", "fronting", etc.
Color highlights, accents, light and dark mode, and more are all customizable in-app with a rich UI. PluralKit and SimplyPlural color settings transfer automatically!
Integrations
Import from SimplyPlural, import and sync data (or active members) with PluralKit, or manage all your data entirely offline with exported copies of your whole "deck"!
PluralKit synchronization is a first-class feature, with sufficient functionality to completely replace the PK dashboard down the line. Deeper PluralKit-specific integration features will launch with our 1.0.0 online update, so stay tuned!
Accessibility
This application is made with accessibility and ergonomics in mind. I've developed it for my own online community first and many others adjacent to it all over the net known as the "plural" community. As a journal and personal tracking app, Ourcana keeps all your data private, personal, and offline-first by design. Journals are only stored on the device itself, and the sync settings allow one to choose which other data (if any) to share with PluralKit.
Privacy
While currently local-only, Ourcana will soon move to include optional, "online" features. As the lead of my development team, I've worked on End-to-End Encrypted systems such as Matrix.org, FluffyChat, as well as code for the US Government once upon a time. Ourcana is zero-trust by design. That's to say, there's no chance of spying, snooping on data from the server side, or your system data being compromised by a third party through network sniffing and forensics.
As a transfemme system in the United States, and with a partner system who is queer and plural in a hostile nation overseas, I'm committed to security-driven design upfront. System data can be as personal and damaging as ones' literal medical records, so we value the importance of privacy at Ourcana.

Ourcana is on the App Store for iOS and will be released on the Google Play Store for Android before June 1st.

I made it for you! <3
