The D&D Note-Taking App That Takes the Notes For You
Every note-taking app for D&D has the same flaw: someone at the table has to stop playing and write. Loreify records your session — in person or on Discord — and delivers finished campaign notes 5–10 minutes after you say “let’s end there”: the recap, the NPCs, the quests, the loot, and the exact words of that one line nobody will ever let the bard forget.

What You Get After Every Session
Records the whole session
In person through the app, or on Discord with the Loreify bot. Up to full multi-hour sessions.
Notes written for you
A detailed recap, timeline, decisions, unresolved threads, and next-session prep — ready 5–10 minutes after you stop.
NPCs, quests & loot tracked
Every NPC met, quest updated, and item looted gets its own entry — with who, where, and why it matters.
A living lore map
Characters, places, and events connect into a campaign-wide map that grows every session.
Ask your campaign anything
"What was that innkeeper's name in session 3?" Campaign Chat answers from your own sessions, with citations.
Word-for-word quotes
The absurd, heroic, and unhinged things your table actually said — captured exactly, not paraphrased.
The Best D&D Note-Taking App Is the One Nobody Has to Use Mid-Game
Here’s how the usual options for D&D session notes stack up when the initiative tracker is already demanding your attention:
| Method | Captures during play | Complete notes | Searchable later | Effort at the table |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paper journal / notebook | High — one player writes all night | |||
| Notion / Obsidian templates | High — filled in by hand after the game | |||
| Generic transcription apps | Medium — you still turn 4 hours of text into notes | |||
| Loreify | None — notes arrive finished |
How It Works
Record or upload
Hit record in the app at the table, use the Discord bot for online games, or upload audio from any recorder.
AI writes the notes
Transcription, speaker identification, and evidence-grounded note writing happen automatically. No prompts, no cleanup.
Play, don’t scribe
Notes, quotes, and the lore map are ready in 5–10 minutes. Next session starts with a perfect recap.
D&D Note-Taking App FAQ
What is the best D&D note-taking app?
The best D&D note-taking app is one you never have to write in. Loreify records your session (in person or over Discord) and writes the notes for you: a full recap, NPC and location entries, quest and loot logs, memorable quotes, and a living lore map of your campaign. Manual apps and templates still leave one person typing during the game — Loreify removes that job entirely.
Is there a free D&D note-taking app?
Loreify includes a 7-day free trial with full access, so you can run a real session through it before paying anything. After the trial it is $15/month. There are also completely free manual options like paper journals and Notion templates — the tradeoff is that someone at the table has to do the writing during play.
Can it really take notes automatically during the session?
Yes. You record the session in the Loreify app (or invite the Loreify Discord bot to your voice channel), and the AI transcribes everything, identifies who is speaking, and turns it into organized session notes in about 5–10 minutes after you finish. Nobody at the table has to type anything.
Does it work for online games on Discord?
Yes. The Loreify Discord bot joins your voice channel with a /loreify-record command and captures the session directly, so remote and hybrid tables get the same automatic notes as in-person games.
How is Loreify different from a Notion or Obsidian template?
Templates give you structure but not content — someone still has to fill them in during or after the session. Loreify starts from the actual audio of your game, so the notes contain what really happened, including details and quotes everyone forgot by the next morning. Many groups use both: Loreify for capture, and their favorite tool for planning.
What do the notes include?
Each session produces a detailed multi-paragraph recap, a chronological timeline, party decisions and unresolved threads, next steps and DM prep reminders, NPC and location entries, quest and loot tracking, combat highlights, and word-for-word memorable quotes. Everything also feeds a campaign-wide lore map you can search and chat with.
