All of your TTRPG Resources in one place.
Spend less time searching, more time playing.

What is COMPASS?

Compass is a desktop application that helps you organize all your Tabletop RPG resources. It does so by providing you with two key systems.

Metadata

Whenever you import a file or webpage such as a PDF, COMPASS will automatically search that file or webpage for relevant metadata such as its title, author and release date. This metadata can then be used to search, sort and filter your collection.

Tagging

COMPASS offers an advanced tagging system that replaces your folder chaos. This allows you to categorize your collection the way you want. Tags can be organized in a hierachical structure, similar to folders, and these hierarchies can be shared with others.
