A native macOS and iOS Markdown notes app built around files on your own disk, with wikilinks, backlinks, graph views, Canvas files, search, and sync options.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-21 issue.

Why it surfaced

Inkstone makes a clear technical promise: the files are the truth, with no database, proprietary format, or account. Its unusually specific details—including deterministic graph layouts, automatic wikilink repair, and support for the open JSON Canvas format—make this feel like a considered tool rather than another generic notes wrapper.
