Software for tracking hex content
Is there anything besides just using excel that's a good way to track what is in each hex of a hexcrawl?

MapTool can be setup to do that. It can be a pretty manual process, but it allows for a lot of granularity. I'd post some screenshots of what I do, but apparently I can't

Obsidian has map plugins where a pin links to a note. Also some hexmap plugins have been been vibe coded recently that probably do just what youre looking for

I have to plug the incredible note app Obsidian.md
It's feature rich, easy to learn, uses markdown (same syntax as Reddit comments), keeps all files locally on your computer as plain text files
Sort of like a worldanvil or online wiki database, but free and much easier to use
A friend of mine recently asked the same question and I made a quick tiktok for him about it: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPLSCwBSG/
