Inkwell
the sovereign markdown editor·inkwell.4worlds.dev
Inkwell is a lightweight, offline-first Markdown editor built with Tauri and Rust that works entirely without an internet connection. It has no cloud sync, no telemetry, and no accounts, storing all files locally via SQLite. The free editor includes themes, a workspace file tree, Mermaid diagrams, and LaTeX math, while a one-time Pro purchase unlocks PDF and HTML export.
