## What is Inku?

Open the map. See a concert tonight. Show up. Post an Inku on the wall. Now you can poke anyone else who came. They accept, you exchange socials. When the show ends, the wall closes.

The loop in five steps.

1. See it. Open the map. There is a festival, a concert, a launch, a meetup near you tonight.
2. Show up. You have to be physically there. No remote browsing, no checking in from the train.
3. Post. Sixty seconds, an Inku and one handwritten line under it.
4. Connect. Poke anyone else who showed up. They accept, you exchange socials (Instagram, X, LinkedIn, whatever they chose). Strangers who were there can reach you. Strangers who weren't can't. That is the whole rule.
5. The wall closes. When the event ends, the wall vanishes. No save for later. No screenshot of the room.

Real-life presence is the only way in. You don't follow. You don't friend-request. You don't swipe. You show up. That is what gates the exchange, and that is what makes the strangers worth knowing.

Places, the long-running layer. Cafes, parks, museums, landmarks, the bench you keep coming back to. Every public place on the map has its own wall, and unlike event walls, places never close. Walk in, leave an Inku, read what the strangers before you left at the same table. The events are the headline. The places are the long, slow page underneath.

Your own private map. Every Inku you take stays pinned to your own map, just for you. The ones you kept private and the ones you posted to public walls, all of them. Open it a year from now and your year is a quiet constellation: the festival in July, the launch party in September, the morning corner, the bar in a city you visited once. Nobody else sees this map. It is the quiet payoff for the days you came out for yourself and not for strangers.

Six printers, six characters. Basho is the wooden desk press from the room beside a garden, brushed ink on soft paper. Pocket is the small one you carry. Neo Tokyo runs on rain and vending machine static, slick paper, neon font. Field Issue was given to observers, not soldiers, rough card and typewriter ink. New York is the yellow cab printer, two blocks ahead of you and already laughing. Atelier is the Paris studio press, heavy paper, careful hand. Different paper, different ink, different handwriting. Pick the one that fits the wall.

Safety you can feel. Every Inku and every poke can be reported. Any stranger can be blocked in one tap. Every flag is reviewed by a human within a day. No exceptions.

Open Inku. Find a wall. Show up. Post. Poke. Exchange.

## Frequently asked questions about Inku

### How does Inku help me connect with people?

You can 'poke' other attendees at an event or place. If they accept, you can exchange social media details. This connection is only possible if you were both physically present at the same event or place.

### What happens to my messages on Inku?

Messages posted on event walls are temporary and disappear when the event ends. Messages left on place walls are permanent and can be seen by others who visit that location.

### Is Inku available on Android devices?

Currently, Inku is only supported on iPhone devices. The app was last updated on 2026-06-20 with version 1.0.4.

### How does Inku ensure user safety?

Every message and 'poke' can be reported, and users can be blocked with a single tap. All flags are reviewed by a human within a day to ensure a safe environment.

### Can I save content from Inku?

No, Inku is designed for ephemeral experiences. Event walls disappear, and screenshots of rooms are not possible, encouraging users to be present in the moment.

### What is the 'private map' feature in Inku?

Your private map stores all the messages you've posted and kept private. It serves as a personal memory log of your experiences at events and places, visible only to you.

### Does Inku have ads?

No, Inku does not contain advertisements. The app is free to download and use, with optional in-app purchases available.

### How often is Inku updated?

The app was last updated on 2026-06-20, indicating regular maintenance and potential feature additions. The current version is 1.0.4.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-06-20

Events lead now. Open the map, see what's on tonight, show up, post an Inku on the wall, and the second you do you can poke anyone else who came. Strangers who were there can reach you. Strangers who weren't can't. When the event ends the wall closes, so there is no save for later and no scrolling back. Real-life presence is the only way in. Places stay where they always were: cafes, parks, the corner you keep coming back to. Pick a printer, write the line, get on the wall.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-06-15

5,000 Inkuers in only a few days. 50,000 thank-yous. A gift back: every printer is now free, forever.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-06-12

Improved user experience and better walls.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-06-12

Thank you for the warm welcome. Inku found more of you in its first week than we ever imagined.
This first update refines the experience: a smoother map, a writing timer you can adjust in Settings, and many small touches.
More soon.

### 1.0 — 2026-06-10

No release notes.
