One page a day. Your story in ink
What you get
InkDays was built for exactly this.
The core features that make InkDays different from the generic alternatives.
One page a day
A single screen-sized page is all you get, and yesterday's entry locks to read-only at midnight — the constraint is what keeps the blank page from winning.
Write free, forever
Unlimited daily pages cost nothing and your last 30 days stay open, so you never lose your story behind a paywall.
Year-in-ink archive
Upgrade and your 365 pages become one scrollable spread, with full-text search across everything you've written (Plus).
Private by default
Entries live in your own iCloud, synced end-to-end by Apple — there's no backend of ours to read them, and no community feed to perform for.
An honest streak
The ribbon counts only the days you actually wrote, with one optional reminder that goes quiet the moment today's page is filled.
Ink that ages
The page shifts from black to sepia as the day closes, and paid themes — sepia, midnight, parchment, monocle, dusk — let you set the mood.
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.
