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 β’ Headings, bold, lists, quotes, tables and footnotes take shape as you type. Know Markdown? Type it. Don't? Use the toolbar β’ Focus mode fades everything but the paragraph you are on. Typewriter mode keeps your line in the middle of the page β’ Writer's notes: a private memo beside each note that never leaves with an export β’ Images you can crop, rotate and filter in place, and a cover for every note WORDS THAT STAY YOURS β’ Every note is a plain .md file in a folder on your device or in your iCloud Drive β’ Pick up on your Mac, iPhone or iPad right where you stopped β’ 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 β’ Export to Markdown, plain text, a standalone web page or a paginated PDF β’ Keep translations of a note as tabs that share the same details β’ 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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Inkfurrow at none against TabiTimer's shown. TabiTimer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
