Freedom
Pay once for Xogogy 1 and every 1.x update is included. Nothing to renew: it keeps opening, editing and publishing. Your courses live in ordinary folders on your machine.
What is in the folder
Desktop e-learning authoring
Build e-learning courses you own.
Xogogy is a complete authoring tool on your own Windows PC or Mac. Start from a blank course or a template, build slides and scrolling pages with layers, triggers, quizzes and themes, and publish to SCORM, xAPI and cmi5. Bring your Storyline, Captivate and Rise courses with you: each import comes with a plain-language report of what carried over.
- Build, import, edit and preview free. No card, no trial clock.
- Opens Storyline, Captivate (new and Classic) and Rise courses without those tools.
- $299 once. Not every year.
- Runs on Windows and on Macs with Apple silicon.

Bring the feature you can't live without.
Type the thing you use most in your current tool. We'll tell you straight whether Xogogy has it, and where it sits on our list.
Why Xogogy
You built those courses. You should hold the deed.
Your courses should not depend on a tool you rent. Xogogy gives you a full authoring tool and keeps every course, new or imported, in an open format on your own computer.
Migration that tells you the truth
Every import writes a plain-language report: what carried over, what needs a quick check, and what was kept as a placeholder. Nothing is dropped quietly.
How migration worksA complete authoring tool
Text, images, shapes, buttons, media and questions. Layers, states, triggers, variables, animations and timing. Question banks, result slides, themes and slide masters. Start from a blank course, a template or the sample course.
Every featureFour steps. No guesswork.
-
01
Start or import
Start a blank course or a template, or drop in a Storyline, Captivate or Rise file. Your old tool never has to open.
-
02
Build
Insert text, images, buttons, media and questions. Add layers, states, triggers and timing, and apply a theme.
-
03
Check
Play it from the current slide in Preview, keyboard included. After an import, the report lists anything to look at, each with a What to do line.
-
04
Publish
Run the accessibility scan, then build a validated SCORM, xAPI, cmi5 or web package for your LMS.
Fixed slides and scrolling pages
Fixed slides and scrolling pages. One course.
Place objects anywhere when the moment needs it. Let content stack and reflow when it doesn't. Mix both kinds in one course, in any order, unlike tools that make you pick one layout for the whole course.
- Fixed slides: objects where you put them, with layers, states and a timeline. They scale down on a phone.
- Scrolling pages: stacked blocks that reflow to fit any screen.
- One published package, one score, one resume point.
The import report
No importer carries everything. Ours tells you exactly what it didn't.
Variables, states, layers, timelines, cue points, triggers, Storyline action groups and Captivate shared actions all come across. Anything that can't is named, located and explained.
- Answer keys are never guessedEach question is marked declared, inferred or unresolved. An unresolved key is never scored as correct until you pick the right answer.
- Every gap has an addressUnsupported features are listed with where they are (the slide and object, when they have one) and a plain What to do note.
- Original data is keptProperties Xogogy doesn't model yet stay inside your course file instead of being thrown away.
- One-way door, stated plainlyXogogy imports from Storyline, Captivate and Rise. It does not write
.story,.cptxor.cptfiles or Rise courses back.
Your files are yours
A folder you can open. A format you can read.
No proprietary database, no vendor cloud account. Every project is plain JSON plus your media, and it diffs cleanly in Git. Open and save an untouched course and not one byte changes.
Your project folder
A recovery copy of your unsaved edits, restored after a crash.
my-course/ course.ccf.json the whole course assets/ images, audio, video history/log.jsonl every change fidelity-report.md import report
Export course data
Every asset, outline, quiz key and change log.
outline.md all text and alt text variables.csv every variable triggers.md in plain English assets/ original filenames manifest.json SHA-256 of each file
One-file course archive
Email it or back it up as one file.
- A standard ZIP any unzip tool can open. No encryption.
- Checked for unsafe paths, links and oversized files before it opens.
- Works with or without a licence.
Inside the app
Built for the way you actually check a course.
Play it like a learner in Preview, keyboard included. Switch the editor to dark or high contrast for long review sessions.
Bring your own AI agent
No AI inside. Your agent, on your machine.
Xogogy contains no model, no prompt and no API key, and never sends your course to an AI service. If you already use Claude Desktop or Claude Code, connect it over a local MCP channel and ask it to add a lesson or build a question.
- Changes appear live in the open app, validated before they save.
- Undo the agent's last change in one click, or hold changes for review.
- With the app open, you approve the first connection. No network port, no access beyond your project.

Questions, answered straight.
Will my imported course look and behave the same?
Xogogy plays your content in its own accessible player, not the vendor's. The import report tells you whenever a feature was approximated, unmapped or had an unresolved answer key. Check the report and play the course in Preview before you publish.
Can I build a new course from scratch?
Yes. Start from a blank course, a template or the built-in sample course, choose fixed slides or scrolling pages and a slide size, and build it in the same editor you use on imported courses: text, media, layers, triggers, variables, animations, quizzes and themes.
Do I need Storyline or Captivate installed?
No. Xogogy reads the files directly on your computer and uploads nothing.
Can I save back to .story or .cptx?
No. Xogogy reads .story, .cptx and .cpt files but does not write them. You keep your course in an open folder, free to export in full.
Which LMS standards can I publish to?
SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 4th Edition, xAPI and cmi5, plus a standalone web package that runs without an LMS.
Does Xogogy send my course to an AI?
No. The app has no AI model, no prompts and no API key. If you use your own agent, you connect it yourself, on your machine.
Does the app phone home?
Only when you start it, and only to GForce Learning's own services: the licence service when you activate or deactivate a computer, start a publish or export (one check that the licence is still valid) or press Check installed licence; the support service when you send Report a problem; and ReviewMyElearning when you publish a course there or read its comments. There is no automatic update check, no telemetry and no account.
What is your refund policy?
[REFUND POLICY]
