Karim Ink 0.1.0 — Mac Preview

Karim Ink 0.1.0 is the first public preview of the engineering whiteboard. Windows is coming soon; this release contains only the Mac app.

The download is free, built for Apple Silicon (ARM64) and targets macOS 14 or later. Native component, storage, drawing, recognition and 3D checks were run on Apple Silicon with macOS 27.2. Older target macOS versions, Intel and physical tablet hardware need further testing.

Signing: ad hoc. Apple notarization: none. Mac App Store: not distributed. An Apple Developer ID certificate is not included; macOS can warn or block first launch. Support explains Apple's per-app Open Anyway route for a trusted download.

Included:

• Native Mac workspace with frosted-glass controls and light/dark/system appearance.
• Ten brushes, ten backgrounds, pressure controls, deliberate selection, shape correction and millimetre dimensions.
• 380 searchable teaching symbols and diagrams, plus local engineering tools.
• Offline single-symbol recognition, a supported LaTeX formula editor, local OCR and handwriting/spelling review.
• Optional local AI chat where Apple's model is available, and optional OpenAI API chat using the user's own key.
• Local editable drawings, autosaving, file exports, a home library and student 3D concept sketches.
• Excalidraw export, optional one-way Craft updates and a Notion HTML companion.

See README for the full feature list and Privacy for what stays local and what optional integrations send.

This preview does not guarantee a particular frame rate, support every tablet's vendor-specific controls, recognize whole handwritten equations or simulate engineering systems. Physical tablet testing and cloud/workspace setup remain separate from local component checks.
