Magpie Memo

In-game notepad with live chat-link chips

How it looks

There's no notepad inside Guild Wars 2, so players scribble build orders, farming routes and shopping lists into alt-tabbed apps — where a pasted chat link is nothing but a meaningless string of characters. Magpie Memo keeps those notes in the game, and every chat link you drop in becomes a live chip showing the real icon, name and tooltip right where you wrote it.

Features

  • Multiple notes in a two-pane layout — titles on the left, the selected note on the right; create, rename, and delete
  • Markdown rendering for bold, italic, headings, and bullet lists, with a raw-source edit mode
  • View / edit modes with Save / Cancel and an unsaved-changes prompt so edits are never lost
  • Chat-link chips for waypoints, items, skins, skills, and builds — shown inline with icon, name, and hover tooltip
  • Right-click a chip to copy its chat code or open it in the wiki
  • Build links show their specialization automatically
  • Works with or without Decoder Ring — chips fall back gracefully and never break

AI Notice

This site and its projects have been largely created using Claude. I understand that some folks have a moral, financial or political objection to creating software using an LLM. I just wanted to make useful tools for the GW2 community, and this was the only way I could do it.

If an LLM creating software upsets you, then perhaps this site isn't for you. Move on, and enjoy your day.
