Why Inkwell

Most stacks can draft text. Inkwell is built for long form story craft and ownership.

Built for story, not snippets

Planning, drafting, and analysis live together so your book does not become a pile of disconnected documents.

Privacy by design

Privacy you do not have to negotiate

Your work is personal. Inkwell is designed so you keep control without becoming a security expert.
