Inkling for iPhone and iPad

Make room for
your own thoughts.

A calm journal for small observations, unfinished ideas, and the days you want to remember.

VERSION 1.1 · PREPARED FOR REVIEW

Write freely.
Keep it personal.

Open straight into your writing. Add a title when you need one, use Markdown or familiar formatting tools, and collect photos, recordings, and to-dos alongside your words.

This page describes version 1.1, prepared for App Store review. The current App Store release is an earlier journal-only version; Focus and the revised premium features become available after approval. Mac Catalyst is currently being tested. This website does not accept payments.

A journal that fits the moment

A little structure.
More space to write.

Your words, your format

A continuous writing area, optional titles, Markdown, headings, lists, quotes, code, and tables.

More than a paragraph

Keep selected photos, recordings, videos, and document attachments with your entries. Add to-dos as you write.

Find the thread

Use search, dates, tags, and favorites to return to an idea. Drafts and trash help manage work in progress.

Private by design

Write and keep local media for free on your device. With an active premium trial or lifetime unlock, explicitly enable iCloud sync to sync text and metadata through your private Apple CloudKit database and saved-entry media through iCloud Drive.

Ten languages

English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Arabic.

Control access

Choose distinct diary and management passcodes. The diary passcode or Face ID opens ordinary journal mode. The management passcode opens privacy mode, where purchase, Focus, and iCloud settings are available according to premium access. Focus operations require a separate management check.

Your media, across devices

Optional media sync is off by default. Enable it on each device to copy photos, recordings, videos, and documents from saved entries through your iCloud Drive, with local cached copies. Drafts remain on the device where you write them. Sync depends on Apple services and network conditions; keep separate copies of important content. Learn how sync works.

Focus, with clear controls

On supported iPhone and iPad devices, Focus uses Apple Screen Time authorization for app groups, schedules, timed sessions, and device restrictions. All manual Focus management requires privacy mode, management authentication, and an active premium trial or lifetime unlock, including starting, stopping, disabling, deleting, and clearing restrictions. Configured timer and schedule endings still run automatically. Personal authorization can be revoked in iOS Settings. Read how access works.

Try it, then make it yours

Write for free.
Unlock Focus and sync when you need them.

Journaling stays free. Try premium Focus mode and iCloud sync for 7 days, with an optional one-time lifetime unlock. No subscription or automatic charge.
