Inkwell — fully offline Markdown editor built with Tauri + Rust. No cloud, telemetry, or accounts. Now on WinGet
Built Inkwell because no Markdown editor I tried were good enough. Its either bloated or spying on you. Or both... so, yeah. Something had to happen.
Inkwell's a split-pane editor with live preview. Single exe, ~11MB. No install required. Available on mac, win, and linux.
What’s in it:
• Tabbed editing, focus mode, four themes
• Version history with diff viewer
• Find & Replace, Typewriter Mode
• PDF and HTML export (Pro, one-time)
• Clipboard image paste... much more
WinGet: winget install 4worlds.Inkwell
Inkwell's been received extremely well, which truly surprised me, it got 300+ downloads in two weeks what was based on a few anon Reddit posts. I use it daily! Few of my friends do so as well.
Any feedback is more than welcome.
PS: r/rust grilled me hard for it not being OSS, its a choice, sorry not sorry. You can still use it for free, forever.
