Wobu

Wobu is a world building app for making concept art. You describe your world once — how it looks, what is true in it, who lives there — and every picture you make from then on already knows all of it. Everything stays on your own computer.

The idea, in one paragraph

Most image tools hand you a blank box and expect you to fill it in again every single time. But a world is not a pile of unrelated prompts. It is a family tree. A character comes from a people, that people lives in a world, and the whole thing is drawn in one look. Normally all of that lives in your head, and you retype a rough version of it into every prompt — a little differently each time. That is exactly where consistency falls apart.

Wobu asks you to write it down once, in the place it belongs. How things are drawn goes on Art Style. What is true goes on World Canon. Build and anatomy go on the species. Clothing goes on the culture. Only what makes someone them goes on the character. When you press Generate, Wobu writes the prompt using that whole chain — and shows you which page every phrase came from.

Start here

The first time you open Wobu it walks you through some of this itself: two documents to agree to, then a quick look around, opening a world, and adding your keys. You can skip the tour whenever you like and run it again later from the opening screen or from Settings.

What makes Wobu different

The world is the point, not the pictures

It gets easier the more you put in. Your hundredth character takes less work than your first, because by then Wobu already knows what your people look like, how that culture dresses, and what the light is like on that coast.

Scribbled notes in, proper description out

You write roughly — half sentences, contradictions, whatever comes out. Enhance turns that into a clear, organised description. Your own scribbles are never overwritten; they stay exactly as you left them. And nothing Enhance writes is saved until you have read it and said yes, section by section if you like.

Nothing is hidden from you

The prompt is always on screen, and every phrase in it is labelled with where it came from. There is no secret wording bolted on the end and no shuffling behind your back. If a picture comes out wrong, you can see which page to go and fix.

Pictures count as description too

Every reference picture you add gets a job — a shape to keep, a colour palette, a fabric, a mood, a pose, an outfit, or "this is what it looks like". Wobu uses each one the way you meant it instead of throwing them all in together.

It is yours, and it stays put

A world is a folder on your disk. Notes are plain text. Pictures are ordinary image files. It works offline against your own graphics card, it opens in other apps, it backs up like anything else, and it is still there and still readable if you uninstall Wobu. This guide is inside the app too, so it works with no internet at all.

You bring your own AI account Wobu does no AI work of its own and sells you nothing. You paste in a key you got yourself, and Wobu talks to that service directly on your behalf. There is no account to make here. Your keys live in your computer's password store and never go anywhere near the world folder. Until you add one, Enhance and Generate are switched off and say why — everything else works fine. See Providers and keys.
