SceneKeeper is a lightweight, SFW roleplay scene assistant for FFXIV.
It is designed to help roleplayers keep active scenes organized, readable, and easy to revisit. Whether you are writing in a busy venue, hosting a companion session, managing a group scene, or tracking a long-term story arc, SceneKeeper gives you a cleaner space to manage the moment.
SceneKeeper gives you a focused workspace for your current RP scene.
Use it to track:
- Scene title
- Scene tags
- Scene notes
- Scene partners
- Follow-up tasks
- Pinned dialogue

The goal is simple: keep the important pieces of your scene visible while chat is moving quickly.
Keep track of the characters involved in your active RP scene.

- Adding your current target as a partner
- Adding partners through the right-click context menu
- Tracking whether partners are nearby
- Partner notes
- Partner relationship or context details

Partner tracking is especially useful for busy venues, group RP, and multi-person scenes where several conversations may be happening at once.
Assign custom colors to individual scene partners for easier visual tracking.
Partner colors can be used with:

- Soft visual highlights
- Multi-person scenes

This makes it easier to tell who is who at a glance.

- Group scenes
- Large social gatherings
Optional soft markers can help identify tracked scene partners on screen.
Marker options may include:
- Marker visibility
- Marker size
- Highlight size

Markers are intended to be subtle, readable, and non-intrusive.
SceneKeeper provides a cleaner local view of RP-relevant chat.

Busy RP spaces can get messy fast. SceneKeeper includes partner-based filtering so you can focus on the people actually involved in your scene.
Filter modes may include:

This is especially useful for:

SceneKeeper can also show how many captured lines are visible after filtering.
Search through captured chat by:
- Sender name

This makes it easier to find a specific line, moment, or speaker without scrolling through everything manually.
Pin important lines from captured chat so they are easy to find later.
Pinned lines are useful for:
- Memorable dialogue
- Emotional beats
- Important lore reveals
- Promises or threats
- Scene quotes
- Journal excerpts
- Recap writing
Pinned lines are saved with scene history.
Scene Builder gives long-form RP writers a dedicated space to draft up to five RP paragraphs before posting.
Each paragraph box is hard-limited to 350 characters to help keep posts within a safer chat-friendly range.
Scene Builder includes:
- Five paragraph boxes
- Paragraph labels from 1/5 through 5/5
- Character counters
- Guided clipboard queue
- Copy Next button
- Copy All button
- Clear Builder button
- Panic Stop button
Scene Builder is especially useful for players who normally write RP posts in Notepad, Discord, or another external editor before copying them into chat.
The Guided Queue helps you post multi-part RP responses safely.
Instead of automatically sending messages, SceneKeeper copies each paragraph to your clipboard one at a time. You stay in control of when each paragraph is pasted and sent.
Basic flow:
Write paragraphs.
Start Guided Queue.
Paste and send paragraph 1 in chat.
Click Copy Next.
Paste and send paragraph 2.
Repeat until finished.
The queue can be stopped at any time with Panic Stop.
Scene Builder includes spellcheck support for long-form RP writing.
Spellcheck tools may include:
- Checking Scene Builder paragraphs
- Suggested replacements
- Ignoring words
- Adding words to a custom dictionary
- Custom dictionary controls
This is useful for character names, lore terms, locations, venue names, and FFXIV-specific words.
Use the notes area to keep track of important scene details while you write.
Examples:
- Current scene premise
- Important names
- Locations
- Character intentions
- OOC reminders
- Scene tone
- Hooks to revisit later
- Plot points to remember
Scene notes are saved with scene history.
Add simple follow-up tasks to a scene so important next steps are not forgotten.
Examples:
- Update character journal
- Send a follow-up message
- Schedule the next scene
- Add a new character note
- Save screenshots
- Write a recap
- Follow up on a plot hook
Follow-up tasks are saved with scene history.
SceneKeeper includes manual task sharing for follow-up tasks.
You can copy a task share payload, send it to another player, and they can import it into their own SceneKeeper.
Manual task sharing supports:
- Scene share codes
- Task export
- Task import
- Task merge handling
- Updated timestamps
- Updated-by tracking
This keeps SceneKeeper local-first while still allowing players to share follow-up tasks when needed.
Add tags to scenes for easier organization.
Examples:
- Romance
- Mystery
- Combat
- Venue
- Important
- Follow-up
- Completed
- Ongoing
- Character Arc
Tags are included in saved scene history and Markdown exports.
Save completed or important scenes to History so they can be revisited later.
Saved scenes may include:
- Scene name
- Scene notes
- Scene tags
- Scene partners
- Partner notes
- Partner relationship/context details
- Partner tags
- Captured chat
- Pinned lines
- Follow-up tasks
History can be searched, copied, loaded, or deleted.
Search your saved scenes by details such as:
- Scene name
- Partner name
- Tags
- Notes
- Captured dialogue
- Pinned lines
This makes SceneKeeper useful for long-term RP continuity and recurring character arcs.
SceneKeeper can copy scene information in Markdown format for easy use outside the game.
Useful for:
- Discord recaps
- Character journals
- Carrd pages
- GitHub notes
- Personal archives
- Story summaries
- RP continuity tracking
You can copy:
- Current scene as Markdown
- Selected captured chat as Markdown

SceneKeeper provides visible feedback when actions are completed.
Examples:

This helps make it clear when a button has successfully done something.
