Inkwell is a lightweight, privacy-focused Markdown editor designed for distraction-free writing across Windows, macOS, and Linux. It provides a split-pane editing interface with live Markdown previews, syntax highlighting, and customizable themes. Users can organize documents through workspaces, file trees, tabs, and reusable templates. Its Typst-based PDF engine supports professional typography, mathematical equations, and Mermaid diagrams. The application includes focus and typewriter modes, document navigation, and keyboard-driven command searching. Automatic saving and version snapshots help preserve changes and restore earlier revisions. Workspace information, templates, and document history are stored locally using SQLite without cloud accounts or telemetry. Built with Rust and Tauri, Inkwell emphasizes fast startup, portability, and offline functionality. PDF and HTML exports require a Pro license.
