About InkNote
Markdown files, without the Markdown friction
InkNote keeps every document as a standard local Markdown file while giving you a polished writing surface. Formatting is rendered as you type, complex blocks can be edited in place, and the complete source is always one command away.
- Local first — no account, mandatory cloud, or document upload.
- Portable by design — plain .md files remain readable by any Markdown tool.
- Safe to open — every new or existing document exposes a clear Preview / Edit access switch.
- Built for real documents — outlines, workspaces, search, export, math, diagrams, tables, and code are part of the core workflow.
Two ways to work
Live preview or full source: Write with rendered formatting, or inspect and edit the complete Markdown source.
Your editor, your way: Choose light, dark, or system appearance, Markdown themes, typography, and custom CSS.

Privacy and local data
InkNote does not require an account and does not upload your documents. Files stay wherever you save them. Workspace folders, recent files, and preferences are stored locally in the platform application-data directory as settings.json.
