Inklingfor MacA small home for your next big idea
That thought you almost lost?
Give it a home in your Mac’s notch.
Notes, lists, and bright little ideas. Always a glance away, with a curious little companion to keep them company.
24 hours free · No card needed · macOS 14+
Good ideas rarely arrive on schedule.
Click the eyes. Ink’s home.
For the moments between everything
Hover over your notch or press ⌥ N. Jot it down. Press ⌘ ↵ and Ink gives a little nod as your note tucks away. Come back to the same note when you need it.
A 30-second story
Then a chat ping, a calendar reminder, a restart prompt and a pile of tabs come for it. Ink catches it first, right from your notch. You never leave the call.
A quick list can become a proper plan. Add headings, checkboxes, links, highlights, quotes, code, and tables, all from the notch.
Two themes. Five accent colors. Your little space.
Give ideas a little order with tables. Add rows and columns, move with Tab, or paste cells from a spreadsheet.
| Little project | Next step |
|---|---|
| Weekend away | Pick a place ↗ |
| Kitchen garden | Plant the basil |
| Something new | Start somewhere |
Start with a daily scratchpad, meeting, project, or journal. Make a useful note once, then save it as your own template.
Pin what matters. Find a phrase. Follow a tag or a link to another note. Revisit a previous version when an idea takes a turn.
A small presence. A little personality.
Meet your quiet little co-thinker
A pair of curious eyes lives in your notch. A blink, a glance, a tiny nod when you’re done. Just enough company to make an everyday thing feel a little more human.
Some days call for less company. Choose Lively, Calm, or Still, and make Ink feel right for you.
A good home respects your things
Your notes live on your Mac. Writing and searching work offline. Sync between your Macs through your own iCloud if you want it. No Inkling account to create and no analytics tracking.
Import Markdown. Export notes as Markdown, rich text, or PDF. Daily local backups give your library another place to land.
When the trial ends, every note stays yours to read, search, copy, and export. A licence unlocks writing and editing.
Less than a nice notebook
Try everything for 24 hours.
If Inkling feels like home, make it yours.

Inkling 2.3.0 · macOS 14 Sonoma or later · Apple silicon & Intel
Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple. Release notes
No. Inkling can show a virtual notch on displays without one. It works on Apple silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
Hover over the notch or use Option-N to open it. Command-Return saves your changes and tucks it away with a small reaction from Ink. You can customize the shortcuts in Settings.
The trial starts when you first open Inkling. After 24 hours, a $12 one-time licence lets you keep writing and editing. Without one, every note stays yours to read, search, copy, and export.
Yes, if you turn it on. iCloud sync is off by default. Switch it on in Settings → Data on each Mac and your notes, attachments, and custom templates stay in step through your own private iCloud. There is no Inkling account. If two Macs change the same line, Inkling keeps both versions instead of choosing one. Version history and settings stay on each Mac.
Your note library stays on your Mac unless you turn on iCloud sync, which stores it in your own private iCloud so your other Macs can read it. We can’t see it. Inkling contacts Dodo Payments to activate and validate your licence, and Everyday Mac Tools to check for updates. When you capture a web URL, it visits that website to fetch the page title. There is no analytics or advertising tracking. Read Inkling’s privacy details.
Download and open the signed installer, then follow the macOS installation steps. Open Inkling from Applications and look for the eyes in your notch or menu bar. After purchase, click Inkling’s eyes in your menu bar, choose Enter licence key…, paste the key from your Dodo Payments email, and select Activate.
Good things start
with an inkling.
