    Inkwell 1.0.0 Stable

    Emily released this 2026-11-11 11:33:35 +01:00 | 1 commits to main since this release

    First release of Inkwell — a handwriting-first notebook app for iPad/iPhone and Android tablets.

    What it does

    • Ink with pressure-sensitive variable width, smoothed and simplified per stroke
    • Highlighter that always sits under your writing, like a real marker
    • Shapes — line, arrow, rectangle, ellipse
    • Lasso — draw around ink to select, then drag, duplicate, recolour or delete
    • Text blocks with bold / italic / alignment / size / colour
    • Paper templates — blank, ruled, grid, dotted, Cornell, checklist, isometric, music and more
    • Library with covers, folders, favourites, search and sort
    • Infinite undo/redo, grouped per gesture, with autosave
    • Light and dark chrome, PNG export of any page

    Notes are stored as plain JSON in the app's documents folder — one file per notebook plus a small index — so the library opens instantly and nothing leaves the device.

    Downloads

    Inkwell-1.0.0-unsigned.ipa iOS, unsigned — see below

    Android

    Sideload the APK (adb install or open it on the device and allow installing from unknown sources).
    Requires Android 7.0 (API 24) or newer. The build is signed with the Flutter debug key, so it is
    fine for personal use but not for the Play Store.

    iOS

    The IPA is unsigned — there is no Apple developer certificate on the build machine, so it cannot
    be installed as-is. Re-sign it with a tool that uses your own Apple ID, e.g.:

    • Sideloadly — drag the IPA in, sign with your free Apple ID
    • AltStore / SideStore
    • Xcode: unpack, then xcodebuild -archivePath … -exportArchive with your team

    Free Apple IDs expire after 7 days and are limited to 3 apps.
