"One page a day,
Your story in ink."
What you get
Built the way we'd want it built ourselves.
Six design principles InkDays shares with every other app in the studio. Opinionated on purpose.
Lives on your phone
Your data never leaves the device. No server to leak. No account to phish.
Fast enough to actually use
Core flows take seconds. Built for the in-the-moment version of you, not the imagined disciplined one.
Patterns surface themselves
The insight you need appears when the data is ready. No dashboards to babysit.
Made to be re-read
Your entries are kept as a readable record — something you'd actually want to open in a year.
Warm, not clinical
Written with a tone closer to a journal than a medical chart. Your language, not ours.
Pay once, keep using
A fair, one-time price where it makes sense. No dark patterns, no renewal notices.
How it works
Three steps. No account. No tracking.
01
Download once
Install InkDays from the App Store when the waitlist opens. No account setup — it works the moment you open it.
02
Use for ninety seconds a day
The product is designed so the useful thing takes less than two minutes. Anything longer and you stop. We know.
03
Notice what changes
Patterns surface after two to three weeks. The data is yours alone — no cloud, no report to anyone.
Not shipped yet
Notify me when InkDays ships.
One email when it lands on the App Store. No drip sequence.
No spam. No tracking. Email only — unsubscribe with one click.
