Tramando is a free, open-source tool for writers managing complex stories. Characters, places, themes, timelines — all connected, all under control.
Why Tramando
When you write a novel, you don't just manage text. You have characters with their traits, places with their atmospheres, interweaving themes, a timeline that must stay consistent. Tramando lets you connect everything.
Write a scene and link it to the characters who appear in it. Then, with one click, see all scenes where Elena appears, or how a theme develops throughout the story.
Features
Everything is a chunk
Chapters, scenes, characters, places: text blocks that connect to each other flexibly.
Connections
Link scenes to aspects with one click. See where each character, place or theme appears.
Radial map
Visualize your story structure and connections. Find gaps, balance the narrative.
Annotations
Mark TODOs, NOTEs and FIXes directly in the text. Never lose an idea or a problem to solve.
PDF export
Export your novel to clean PDF, ready for reading or printing.
Open files
The .trmd format is plain text. Readable, portable, yours forever.
AI Assistant (optional)
Tramando includes AI integration to help you overcome creative blocks, explore phrase variants, or generate draft character sheets.
Completely optional and non-invasive. AI proposes, you always decide. No automatic changes to your text. If you're not interested, disable it and forget about it.
