[https://archivos.digital/](https://archivos.digital/)

from their "about" page:

> First, ARCHIVOS helps Storytellers document the characters, places, and events of their stories, detailing the basic framework for the tale.
> 
> Then, Storytellers connect those story elements by defining the relationships between them that articulate not just the existence of the connection but also its nature (professional, personal, political, geographical, etc.).
> 
> The relationships in ARCHIVOS also support a hierarchy, like that of a parent to a child, or a manager to an employee. This framework will help identify and organize the structures within the story world.

You can add all sorts of attributes to your characters, mark where and when they are, and zoom in with the map and timeline to see how everything intersects.

It sounds like this would suit your writing/world-building style! It's free for building one world, and $6/mo for unlimited.
