AI native

Less friction between you and your agents

Inkdrop is an AI-native Markdown note app for developers — smooth context flow between you and your agents, encrypted sync, every platform.

MCP server

Give your agents access to your context. Claude Code or any MCP client can search and read your notes, so your decisions and lessons inform their work.

AI-ready note templates

Ready-made notes for common tasks — a daily report, a bug-fix write-up, a feature plan. Templates carry instructions for AI, so your agents fill them out properly and file their work the way you would.

Encrypted sync, zero setup

End-to-end encrypted sync works out of the box. Your notes are always in reach, even offline.

Every platform you're on

macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android. Capture an idea wherever it strikes, and review what your agents produced from anywhere.

Editor

Express your thoughts comfortably

The Markdown editor helps you write tech notes without wrestling with syntax — structure, formatting, and code blocks appear right where you type.

workbug
Theme: Kanagawa Lotus
  • Slash commands Press / on an empty line to insert headings, alerts, code blocks, and more.
  • Floating toolbar Select text to format it — bold, italic, headings, GitHub alerts, reading highlights.
  • Code-aware autocompletion Language suggestions when you open a code block, and autocompletion inside it.
  • Emoji autocompletion Type : and two characters for GitHub-style emoji.
  • Smarter link pasting Paste a URL and pick a link format inline — the page title is fetched in the background, so nothing interrupts your flow.
  • Inline AI assistant Select text and describe the change in plain language. Learn more
  • Next Edit Suggestions Let AI predict what you'll type next and complete the line at your cursor. Learn more
Renderer

Reading tech notes, enjoyably

Plans, reports, research — agents write a lot for you to read. Inkdrop renders it with syntax-highlighted code, diagrams, and math, so you can take it in, review it, and move on — efficiently.

workbug
Theme: Nord
  • Advanced code blocks Language icons, line numbers, and file-name rendering — even Markdown highlighting inside fenced markdown blocks.
  • Mermaid diagrams Pan, zoom, and view full-screen. Diagrams follow your theme in light and dark.
  • Math KaTeX rendering for inline and block equations.
Organization

Stay focused as your notes grow

A folder of Markdown files works on day one. As notes pile up, Inkdrop keeps everything scannable — and keeps you focused on the project at hand.

Theme: Solarized Dark
  • Notes at a glance An intuitive note list view keeps every project scannable in seconds.
  • Nestable notebooks Structure your notes the way you think, with notebooks inside notebooks and per-notebook icons.
  • Workspace view Focus the whole app on one notebook tree when you are deep in a project.
  • Note statuses Manage notes as tasks — active, on hold, completed, or dropped — and filter your note list by status at a glance.
  • Tags Add tags to slice your notes any way you like.
  • Pin to topMake notes stick to the top of your notes list.
Shortcuts

Your hands never leave the keyboard

Your muscle memory is years in the making. Inkdrop adapts to it — fuzzy-find anything with the Telescope command palette, rebind any key in any context, or go full Vim.

Theme: Kanagawa Dragon

Telescope command palette

A Spotlight-style floating bar: run commands, jump to a notebook, or switch tags by fuzzy typing. Extensible via plugins — telescope-toc navigates a note's table of contents, telescope-themes switches themes.

Customizable keymaps

Selector-based keymaps bind keys to commands per context — different bindings in the editor, the note list, or app-wide — with multi-stroke and global shortcuts.

Extensibility

Hackable to its core

Even the built-ins are plugins: Mermaid, math, and emoji ship on the same API you get. Install what the community made — or build exactly what your workflow is missing.

Plugins for everything

An outline view, code folding, YouTube embeds, vim keybindings — official and community plugins cover workflows of all kinds, or write your own with the TypeScript plugin API.

Browse plugins

Yours, down to the pixel

Go deeper than settings — script the app with your own init.js through Inkdrop's API, and restyle any corner of the UI with your own styles.css.

Automate anything

The local HTTP server opens your notes to anything that speaks HTTP — scripts, automations, and your agents' custom tools.
