Ink is a notes app.
If you came here looking for a groundbreaking replacement for Notion, Obsidian, or Antinote. You're in the wrong place.
Ink is about quick, simple, beautiful temporary notes.
I wanted a place that looked good to store a passing thought, an API key, or a small snippet of code.
Somewhere that wasn't a random piece of paper, a cluttered Google Doc, a Discord DM, a half-written text draft, or the Chrome search bar.
So we made Ink.
Everyone builds a notes app as one of their first projects.
We know that.
But everyone forgets one crucial step.
The release.
The experience you gain building and shipping an app is unmatched.
Brainstorming a concept,
Crafting a color palette,
Deciding which features make the cut,
Iterating with designers until it feels right,
Debugging at 2 a.m. because it was a 'quick' feature,
Learning to let go of 'absolutely perfect' so you can actually ship,
Writing the first line of code, and the last,
Handing it to beta testers for the first time,
Laughing, crying, and panicking as they inevitably break it,
Pushing out revision after revision until it holds together,
Seeing the icon on your dock for the first time,
Watching someone else use what you built.
Realizing that, for a brief moment, this thing lived in your head and now it lives in the world.
That's what Ink is. Not a revolution. Not a productivity overhaul.
Just a quiet little space for thoughts to live, if only for a moment.
One day, those notes will be gone. Deleted, overwritten, or simply forgotten.
But for the brief time they exist, they matter.
And sometimes, that's enough.
