Hexer

Create beautiful hexcrawl maps, manage locations and notes, and export everything you need for your campaign in one place.

Manual Edit

Paint a map from scratch or edit a generated one.

Random Generation

Generate maps with simple, intuitive controls.

Add and Maintain Notes

Add icons for locations, name them, and attach detailed notes.

Dynamic Map Style

Change the map’s style at any time to fit your needs.

Export to PNG, PDF, or Markdown

Export your map as PNG or PDF (with notes included). Notes can also be exported as Markdown for easy integration into Obsidian or similar tools.

Export Player Map

Export a blank version of the map for players to track their travels.

License for Generated Maps

All hexagon art is handcrafted by me. You’re free to use exported maps however you like, even in commercial projects.

Roadmap

The app is fully functional, but if you encounter bugs, let me know and I’ll fix them as soon as possible. Have ideas for new icons? Share them, and I’ll likely add them in the next update.

Custom art: The user should be able to add a folder where they can place image files to create custom map style to use in Hexer.

Roads and Rivers: This is a big one and I’m not sure how to tackle it. But I’ll try to figure something out.

I can build Hexer for Mac, but I need an expensive developer subscription to do so. I'll do it if I notice there's a lot of interest.
