About

Inkfurrow

Features

Some days the hardest part of writing is everything around it. Inkfurrow clears that away. There is the page, warm like paper, and a single ink. Formatting settles as you type, the rest of the page can fade while you focus, and every note stays a plain file that is yours. WHILE YOU WRITE • Headings, bold, lists, quotes, tables and footnotes take shape as you type. Know Markdown? Type it. Don't? Use the toolbar • Focus mode fades everything but the paragraph you are on. Typewriter mode keeps your line in the middle of the page • Writer's notes: a private memo beside each note that never leaves with an export • Images you can crop, rotate and filter in place, and a cover for every note WORDS THAT STAY YOURS • Every note is a plain .md file in a folder on your device or in your iCloud Drive • Pick up on your Mac, iPhone or iPad right where you stopped • No account, no tracking, no servers of ours. Your files open in any app, today or years from now WHEN YOU ARE READY TO SHARE • Export to Markdown, plain text, a standalone web page or a paginated PDF • Keep translations of a note as tabs that share the same details • For bloggers: tags and front matter in YAML or TOML from a template you define Light and dark themes, set in Charter, with Nanum Myeongjo for Korean.
