Inks
Read full descriptionHide full description
In Inks, you can write a letter just for yourself. Write down something that happened today, a thought that suddenly came to mind, or words you’re not ready to say aloud. When you’re done, the letter is saved on your device. It isn’t sent to anyone automatically. If you ever want to share it, that’s your choice. When you open a letter, you see the finished version first. If you want to return to the time you wrote it, you can choose to replay how the words came together. You can keep it to words, or add photos and drawings. Choose stationery and stickers, and add a stamp to the envelope. If you’re not sure where to begin, browse Ideas and start with a prompt. By default, letter content stays on your device. Signing in does not automatically upload it as a cloud backup. Inks also offers an app lock, hidden letters, and local encryption for you to use when needed. Subscriptions Inks offers monthly and yearly auto-renewable subscriptions, as well as a one-time purchase option. Available plans, trial offers, and prices are shown on the App Store purchase screen. Payment is charged to your Apple Account after you confirm a purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically within 24 hours before the end of the current period unless you turn off auto-renewal beforehand. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple Account settings. If you cancel, your benefits remain available until the end of the current subscription period.
