inkling

Save anything. Find it by describing it.

inkling keeps the articles, images, screenshots, PDFs, notes, quotes and videos you want to hold on to in one library on your computer. There are no folders to keep up. You search for what you remember.

Free for Windows, Linux and Apple silicon Macs.

Saving takes a second.

The card shows up the moment you save. inkling reads the article, the PDF or the words in the picture afterwards, in the background, while you get on with what you were doing.

It reads your pictures, too.

Words inside screenshots, photos and scanned PDFs are searchable. Remember one word from a receipt and the receipt comes back. The reading happens on your computer.

Search also goes by meaning, so red apple finds the photo you never captioned, and any picture can show you the ones that look like it.

Your whole library, on disk.

Your library is a folder on your computer.

One SQLite file and the files you saved, next to each other. There is no account and no cloud copy. OCR, embeddings and search all run on your machine, and the models come with the app.

Every time inkling uses the network
