ProGM is a note-taking program that helps game masters develop their stories through concatenation of story events in a unique way. This unique way is through a branching path GUI where the user can make events give those events titles, descriptions amongst other relevant information and stores that information into an event list. From the event list can view their events and their information and when they decide the want to add an event to their story they can start by clicking the "+" icon which creates an event card that the user can attach an event from the event list into. That is not all! If your party is fooling around too much? If so, you can visit the scenario menu to select a scenario that forces the party to get back into the story (limited amount for now, will be updated in the future!). Selecting a scene will append it to the current event card to suplement your event.

Future work: Progress tracker Character tracker Search functions Hot keys GUI improvements (styles and buttons) Expanded utility in terms of event details
