MITHOS uses a free-form canvas. Every tool opens as its own floating window. You can have as many windows open at once as you need, arranged however makes sense for your session.
Opening Tools
Right-click anywhere on the canvas to open the context menu. Tools are grouped by category:
| Group | Tools |
|---|---|
| Combat Tools | Party Tracker, Combat Tracker |
| NPC Management | NPC Generator, NPC Library, Bestiary |
| World & Time | Weather Generator, Calendar, Time Tracker |
| Tables & Content | Shop Generator, Library, Roll Tables, Session Viewer |
| Audio / Visual | Map Display, Sound Board |
Click any tool name to open it. If it is already open, clicking it again closes it. Open tools show a small filled indicator next to their name.

Focus Presets
A Focus is a saved snapshot of which windows are open, where they are positioned, and what zoom level the canvas is at. Focuses let you switch instantly between different layouts, for example, one layout for combat and another for roleplay scenes.
Saving a Focus
- Arrange your windows and zoom as desired.
- Right-click the canvas to open the context menu.
- Click Save current as focus at the bottom of the menu.
- Enter a name and confirm.
Loading a Focus
Open the context menu and click any named focus in the Focuses section. All windows will snap to the saved positions and the canvas will restore the saved zoom.
Updating a Focus
Click the save icon (floppy disk) next to a focus name in the context menu to overwrite it with the current window layout.
Deleting a Focus
Click the trash icon next to a focus name in the context menu.
Last Setup
If you have not saved any named focuses, the context menu shows a Use last setup option that restores the most recent auto-saved window arrangement.
