Ink Craft: Typewriter Notes

Ink Craft is a typewriter notes app: type notes, letters and journal pages on textured paper, with mechanical typing sounds and a bell at the margin. Offline, private, no account.

The ink is imperfect on purpose: every letter lands a little uneven, like real type pressed into paper. A capsule follows your words along the platen, the carriage returns with a soft slide and the sheet rolls up as you write. It is a calm place for a diary entry, a love letter or the first page of a story.

A REAL TYPEWRITER FEEL
• Mechanical, soft or electric key sounds, the margin bell and a carriage return
• A capsule that rides its rail, or a classic desk machine whose typebar swings up and strikes
• The paper curls over the platen while you type and lies flat when you read
• Roll the paper and push the carriage to any letter to add or fix words
• Backspace erases cleanly, or keep your mistakes struck over with X

PAPER, RIBBON AND TYPEFACES
• Nine papers: six colours plus Parchment, Old City and dark green Verdigris
• Four paper stocks: Original, Cotton, Laid and Recycled
• Worn, fresh or clean ribbons in black, blue, brown, red or gold, with adjustable strength
• Six typefaces: Typewriter, Courier, Playfair, Bodoni, Cormorant and Montserrat, all on an even pitch
• Four type sizes, wide or narrow margins
• Butterflies that drift past and rest on the letter, and a pressed-flower bookmark

MAKE THE MACHINE YOURS
• Crafts of the World capsules from China, Portugal, Congo, Morocco and Mexico: jade, porcelain, lacquer, azulejo tiles, zellige, Día de Muertos tin hearts and more, each with a short story
• Seven rail finishes and five rail ends
• A key chain on the rail: a dragon bell or a bronze pair that sways as you type
• A surprise machine when you cannot choose
• Bell, volume and haptics, all adjustable

NIGHT WRITING
• A carriage lamp for writing in the dark, with brightness, warmth, spread and reach
• Hold the machine to switch the lamp on or off

YOUR LETTERS, KEPT
• Every sheet is saved in your Box, newest first, grouped by month
• Hold a letter to share or remove it, with undo
• Share any page as a typed PDF in the typeface you chose

WHO IT IS FOR
• Writers who want a quiet, distraction-free page
• Journal keepers and anyone writing a diary or gratitude list
• People writing letters to a friend, a partner or their future self
• Fans of vintage and retro machines who miss the sound of keys
