Add items to your Notion databases instantly ā without opening Notion or losing your focus. * Independently developed and not affiliated with Notion * Inki lives in your menu bar on Mac and on your home screen on iPhone. Open it with a keyboard shortcut, fill in your properties, and it's in Notion in seconds. Every custom property in your database ā select, multi-select, dates, relations, numbers, checkboxes ā is right there in the form. New to Inki? Tap "Explore a sample workspace" on the welcome screen to see how it works with sample data, no account needed. Built for people who use Notion to run their work but don't want to break flow every time they need to capture something. WHAT YOU CAN DO ⢠Add entries to any Notion database with full property support ⢠Edit existing pages without leaving the app ⢠Filter and browse your database by any property ⢠Set a global keyboard shortcut for instant capture on Mac ⢠Switch between multiple databases quickly with favorites ⢠See a daily Today view across every database you've added ⢠Plan your day with a guided triage flow ⢠See an item's full page, rendered natively in the app HOW IT WORKS Open Settings and tap "Connect with Notion." A secure Notion sign-in page opens, you pick which workspace to share, and you're back in the app ā no token copying, no manual setup. Share any database with the Inki integration inside Notion and it shows up in the app automatically. Inki talks directly to the Notion API once you're connected. Your notes, task titles, properties, and page content flow straight between your device and Notion ā no analytics server, no intermediary storing your data. PRIVACY FIRST No analytics. No telemetry. No crash reporters. No ad trackers. Your Notion content stays between your device and Notion's servers. The one-time OAuth sign-in is brokered by a small developer-operated authentication service (required by the OAuth standard to hold the app's client secret). That service exchanges your sign-in code for an access token and forwards only the token back to your device ā it does not store your token, your Notion content, or any identifiers about you.
