There's no database or import step. You add folders to a workspace, and Inkstone displays each file as a formatted page that you edit in place, hiding the Markdown syntax as you type. + +{% include image.html file="/assets/images/tools/inkstone.png" alt="Inkstone Markdown editor" %} + +In addition to the syntax elements listed below, Inkstone supports math written in LaTeX (`$...$` and `$$...$$`), wikilinks (`[[note]]` and `[[note|alias]]`) between files in any folder of a workspace, embedded files (`![[file]]`), and YAML front matter. Its wikilinks are compatible with existing Obsidian vaults. Inkstone also keeps a version history for every file, and it reloads files when other applications, including AI coding agents, change them on disk. + +Inkstone uses [GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)](https://github.github.com/gfm/). When it saves a file, Inkstone writes standard Markdown, so some syntax is normalized. For example, `_emphasis_` is saved as `*emphasis*`. + +Inkstone is a paid application with a free 14-day trial. It requires macOS 14 or later. + +{% include tool-syntax-table.html %} diff --git a/assets/images/tool-icons/inkstone.png b/assets/images/tool-icons/inkstone.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..57c740f7 Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/images/tool-icons/inkstone.png differ diff --git a/assets/images/tools/inkstone.png b/assets/images/tools/inkstone.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..6b0c75e5 Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/images/tools/inkstone.png differ
