A quiet space for daily writing on iPhone and Mac. Apple Intelligence prompts each morning, a gentle reflection each Sunday — generated entirely on your device. Sync only if you choose to, only with the cloud you trust.
Day One taught us a journal could be beautiful — and charge $50 a year for the privilege. Apple Notes is free and intentionally bare. Inkus sits in between: a focused writing space where AI features are the point, where everything is on‑device because the Apple Foundation Models framework is finally good enough, and where the only thing you ever pay for is the app itself.
Daily prompts that nudge, never instruct. A weekly reflection on Sunday. Mood and theme tags that suggest themselves while you write. All running on the Apple Neural Engine in your pocket — or on your Mac. Your text never goes to OpenAI, Google, or our servers, because we don't have any.

A single, gentle question each morning, generated by Apple Intelligence on the fly — never instructive, never pushy. Pull-to-refresh for a new one. On devices without Apple Intelligence, Inkus falls back to a curated set of about 80 hand-written prompts.
Three warm paragraphs surfacing themes you might have missed, plus a one‑line mood arc for the week. Generated on Sunday evening from the past seven days — entirely on your phone.
A soft pill appears while you write: "Suggested: 😌 calm." Tap accept and Inkus sets the mood and theme tags for you. Or ignore it — you're in charge.
Personal, Work, Travel — or anything you make. Each gets its own SF Symbol icon, accent colour, and prompt history. Switch with one tap from the toolbar.
Full‑text search across years of writing, plus a month‑grid view with dots on every day you wrote. Mood and tag chips narrow it down.
Tap the scanner button to capture a document with the iPhone camera, then mark it up with Apple Pencil. Doodle on a fresh PencilKit canvas. Speak into the mic — Apple's on-device Speech framework transcribes live and saves the audio as an attachment. Handwriting becomes typed text via on-device OCR.
Your words are yours. Export a single entry or a whole journal in one tap — to anywhere you like. Inkus writes a temp file and hands it to the system share sheet.
One purchase covers both. Write from your iPhone on the train, finish at your desk in macOS. Real Mac chrome — title bar, menu bar, ⌘N for a new entry, ⌘F to search. Same private CloudKit database in the background, syncing in seconds.
Every entry, every prompt, every reflection is generated and stored on this iPhone. Nothing goes to OpenAI, Google, or our servers — because we don't have any.
Sync via iCloud, your own Nextcloud server, Dropbox, or Google Drive — or pick "no sync" and keep everything local. Inkus never holds the data. Your provider does, on your account, with your sign-in.
No telemetry, no third‑party SDKs, no tracking. We don't know who you are, how often you open the app, or what you write.
One‑tap markdown or PDF export. No lock‑in, no proprietary container. Move to anywhere, any time, including paper.

It feels like writing in a notebook that quietly knew what to ask, and quietly read back what I'd written.
