Plural Star is a private, offline-first system management app built for plural individuals, those with DID, OSDD, or any form of plurality.
Made in part with AI assistance, which is one of the main reasons we went Open Source. So that anyone wishing to, or with concerns, can examine the code.
Simply Plural and Octocon have been discontinued. Plural Star is the replacement you own entirely; your data stays on your device.
Features
Three-Tier Front Tracking
Track Primary Front, Co-Front, and Co-Conscious. Each tier has its own member, mood, note, and energy (1–10); Primary also tracks location. Members are exclusive to one tier. A persistent notification keeps all tiers visible. Optional front-check reminders.
Friends & Syncing
Optional end-to-end encrypted networking, off by default; the relay sees only encrypted blobs. Add friends with short mutual codes and see their front live. Privacy Buckets set what each friend sees: members, groups, journal, history, profile, whiteboard, or planner. Link your own devices: pick which sends first, then everything syncs both ways, pictures included. Pin up to five friends into the notification, or the iOS Live Island.
Member Profiles
Profile pictures, 900×300 banners, names, pronouns, roles, colors, rich-text bios with full Markdown. Freeform tags and colored groups with multi-group membership. Facets and Custom Fronts for parts that aren't members. Filter, search, sort six ways. Tier badges when fronting. Archive dormant members: history preserved, restorable.
Your Words
Rename Headmate, Front, Facet, and more. The whole app follows your system's language.
Observatory Mode
Turns Plural Star into a manual status tracker and journaling app with a rebuilt UI for the Singlets in our lives, granting almost every feature. For non-plural friends, family, and caretakers.
Day Planner
Calendar of appointments and repeating reminders, each with its own mark color and alerts.
Whiteboard
Freeform canvas: pen, shapes, fill, and eraser.
Custom Fields
Define your own per-member fields, eight types from text to Markdown. Reorderable, renameable, exportable.
Mailbox
System-wide mail between headmates: per-member inboxes with unread badges, replies, and pinning. Syncs across devices.
System Polls
Polls the whole system can vote on. Vote tallies, voter tracking, optional closure. One vote per member; changeable until closed.
System Map
Chart relationships between headmates on an interactive force-directed graph. Members join as you create relationships.
History & Insights
Front History: timestamped log of every switch by day, with co-front and co-conscious tiers inline. Member History: every session, mood/location/note change, energy, and journal entry per headmate, with totals. Add retroactive entries with three-tier support and overlap detection.
System Statistics
Total fronting time, session and message counts, with time-range filtering. Leaderboards for fronters, co-fronters, co-conscious, chatters, moods, and locations. Peak Hours shows when your system is most active.
System Chat
Local-only IRC-style chat, up to 100 channels. Speaker is independent of who's fronting; chat doesn't affect front or history. Text, images, replies, emoji reactions. Archive channels to free storage.
System Journal
The same rich-text entries with full Markdown as member profiles. Tag by author and topic hashtag. Optionally lock individual entries or the whole journal with passwords.
Import & Export
Import full system data from Simply Plural, PluralKit, Octocon, Ampersand, Ourcana, HiveMind, Tupperbox, Parallax, PluralLog & PluralSpace. Export as .zip, HTML, or email summary with per-category toggles. Import .txt, .md, or .json directly as journal entries.
Multilingual
24 languages: English, Español, Français, Deutsch, Português, Suomi, Norsk, Italiano, Türkçe, Bahasa Melayu, Tiếng Việt, ไทย, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, Русский, Українська, Nederlands, Íslenska, हिन्दी, Afrikaans, 한국어, Svenska, Polski. Auto-detects on first launch.
Hello! I am enjoying this app so far. I’m using this app along with other system apps to help with our highly complex DID, and it’s great! My only main issue is how the fronting system works. It works fine. I just wish instead of logging all of front as one whole. (Like how our alters in primary have been frotning for 18 hours) it counted front times on that page individually like simply plural did. This is an extreme nitpick though so I am deciding not to add it into my star ranking. ((: I do like the difference in levels of front. (As a highly complex system, being able to separate primary, co-front, and co-com is a god send) I just wish we could also create our own levels of front too.All and all, this app is great: and the archiving system is amazing (as a large system. We archive our non fronting alters and it was so easy to do.) and I would recommend it.

We will look into it, happy your enjoying 😎
SP but better!

This app addresses some of the complaints we had over SP, while incorporating its best features. The layout of the app was similar enough to navigate easily. Right away loved that the journal space is shared but you can select who the author is; no more digging through the alter list to figure out who wrote what where in their own individual section (especially for large systems). This was one of our biggest gripes. There’s a day planner, system map!!, place to write each other letters, a communal white board. The developer really thought these system needs through. Bravo! Really hope this app is able to stay around. 🙂
Genuinely great app

For someone who loves to over analyze and organize things to help keep track of everything, this app is a godsend. I get everything I want in one app that is extremely user friendly and easy to work with. Journaling, in-system relationships, mapping, sub-systems, and a calendar with reminders. My only nitpick is that I can’t seem to see the nicknames I put in on the members’ profile cards. It’s there when I go to edit, but when I’m done editing it just disappears. It would be great to be able to see them on the profile cards.
Adore! one request

I absolutely adore the app’s functionality and design. It’s incredibly user-friendly, and once you get the hang of it, it becomes an excellent tool. However, I would highly recommend adding a “Friends” option, allowing us to view other users’ accounts. I’m not sure how much this would impact the app’s overall functionality, but it would certainly enhance the user experience.Overall, the app is easy to download, navigate, and use. I also love the banner feature!
