Which ink is in this pen? Which paper made that combination feel so good? Those details are easy to forget once a collection starts growing. InkTrio is a private journal for fountain pens, inks, papers, and real writing samples. Pick colors from your own collection in Ink Playground, then record the pen, ink, paper, flow, drying time, and feeling behind combinations you want to use again. INK PLAYGROUND • Let colors from your saved inks flow on water. • Mix, pause, and start over. • Save a favorite scene as an image. • On-screen colors are references. Real ink changes with nib, paper, lighting, and time. REMEMBER THE COMBINATION • Keep pen, ink, and paper together in one entry. • Add writing photos, ratings, flow, drying time, and notes. • Share a combination without private notes, or reuse it as a new entry. FIND YOUR COLLECTION AGAIN • Track pens, inks, papers, and what is currently inked. • Search across multiple terms and filter by category. • Choose today's pen and ink, then continue into an inking record. Your records and photos stay on your device. No account or sign-in is required. ZIP backup and restore let you keep your own archive. InkTrio does not replace paper swatches or handwriting. It helps you remember what worked and return to writing.
