Ever been deep in a roleplay with TWO amazing ideas… and had to choose just one? Not anymore. 🌟 Chat Branching gives you the superpower to explore every timeline, jump between possibilities instantly, and never lose a path again.

1) 🗺️ Chat Branching: Your Story Multiverse

Create infinite timelines from any moment. Every path is saved. Every possibility is one tap away.
Say goodbye to duplicating chatrooms, copy-pasting context, and managing multiple separate conversations. Now you can explore every direction from any moment—all in one room.
Chat Branching Interface

How It Works

You’re deep in a roleplay. You have two ideas for where to take the story. Both are good. Why choose?
  1. Press the Branch button on any message in your chat
  2. Continue the story in the new branch—it’s a fresh timeline from that point
  3. Press Branch again from the same spot to explore another direction
  4. Open the Branch Map to see all your timelines as a visual tree
  5. Jump instantly to any branch or checkpoint with one tap

What’s Different

Before:
  • Duplicate entire chatrooms manually
  • Copy-paste context and summaries
  • Manage multiple separate chats
  • Lose track of which timeline is which
  • Switch between rooms constantly
Now:
  • ✨ One button creates a new branch
  • 🚀 All timelines in ONE room
  • 🗺️ Visual Branch Map shows every path
  • ⚡ Jump between any timeline instantly
  • 📍 Never lose progress or context

Infinite Timelines

Create as many branches as you want from any moment. Every possibility can exist.

Visual Navigation

The Branch Map shows your entire story tree with glowing nodes for easy navigation.

Zero Context Loss

All branches stay in one room. No copy-paste, no summaries, no duplicate chats.

Instant Jumping

Click any node to instantly jump to that timeline. Compare paths effortlessly.
Pro Tip: Create branches at pivotal decision points so you can explore every “what if” scenario without commitment. You can always jump back to any branch later.

2) 🌳 The Branch Map: See Your Story Universe

Visualize your entire narrative tree and navigate between any timeline with a single tap.
The Branch Map transforms your chat into an explorable story universe. Every branch appears as a glowing node. Click to jump instantly.

Real-World Example

Pivotal Scene: Your character stands at a crossroads. Do they confront the villain, flee to safety, or try to negotiate? Branch 1: Confrontation → explore the action path
Branch 2: Flee → see the survival storyline
Branch 3: Negotiate → discover the diplomatic route
All three timelines exist. All are instantly accessible. All progress is saved. The Branch Map shows them all at once.
The Branch Map makes it easy to compare how different choices affect your story without losing any of your creative work.

3) 🎯 Why This Changes Everything

The Problem We Solved

Before branching, roleplayers faced these painful limitations:
  • Forced Choice: Pick one path, lose the rest forever
  • Manual Duplication: Copy entire chatrooms to try alternate paths
  • Context Loss: Summarize and re-explain plot when switching rooms
  • Room Clutter: Manage dozens of duplicate chats for one story
  • Navigation Hell: Can’t remember which room has which version

The Solution

No More Sacrifice

Explore every idea without abandoning good paths. All possibilities coexist.

One Room, Infinite Paths

Everything stays in one place. No room-switching, no context re-entry.

Visual Clarity

See exactly where you are and where you’ve been with the Branch Map.

Instant Time Travel

Jump to any moment, any branch, any timeline with one tap.
