About Inkwell

Inkwell turns every new browser tab into a fast, distraction-free Markdown editor. EDIT THE FORMATTED PAGE DIRECTLY Headings, bold text, lists, tables, code blocks and task lists look finished as you write. Click any line to see and edit its Markdown. Click away, press Esc, or pause typing, and it goes back to formatted. Switch to Preview when you just want to read. MARKDOWN, RENDERED IN PLACE - GitHub-Flavored Markdown: tables, task lists with clickable checkboxes, strikethrough and more - Syntax-highlighted code blocks - LaTeX math, inline and block - Mermaid diagrams - Images, including web images KEEP MULTIPLE DOCUMENTS A collapsible sidebar holds all your documents, organized into workspaces. Pin the ones you use most. Deleted documents go to Trash, so nothing disappears by accident. FIND AND REPLACE Search and replace within a document, or search across all your documents at once. BRING FILES IN EASILY Drag and drop a .md file onto the page to open it as a new document, or use the Open button. EXPORT THE WAY YOU WANT - Markdown (.md): saved straight to your Downloads folder - HTML (.html): cleanly styled, saved straight to your Downloads folder - PDF: via your browser's print dialog, styled to match the preview COMFORTABLE TO USE Light, dark or automatic theme. Keyboard shortcuts for saving, formatting, indenting and creating new documents. Edits stay in sync if Inkwell is open in more than one tab. AUTOMATIC BACKUPS Inkwell saves backups of your documents to an "Inkwell Backups" folder in your Downloads, keeping the five most recent. Restore from a backup at any time. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Inkwell has no accounts, no servers, and no analytics. Your documents are saved locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API and never leave your computer.
