Inkelle
Handwriting notes for iPad
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Inkelle is a handwriting notes app built for iPad and Apple Pencil, combining the freedom of natural handwriting with powerful organization and search.
NATURAL HANDWRITING
• Smooth PencilKit ink with custom brush presets, pressure sensitivity, and colors
• Finger/stylus toggle, zoomed writing mode, automatic shape recognition
• Multi-page documents, thumbnail sidebar, page outline, and presentation mode
ORGANIZE AND SEARCH
• Notebooks, tags, and smart folders for flexible organization
• On-device handwriting OCR + Spotlight global search
• Trash and version history — recover deletions and roll back changes
IMPORT AND ANNOTATE
• Import PDFs and annotate them in your own handwriting
• Insert photos from your library or camera, add text boxes and stickers
• Template backgrounds, export to PDF or image, system share sheet
AUDIO AND CALENDAR
• Attach voice recordings to your notes to capture ideas on the go
• Detect dates in your notes and create calendar events with one tap
AI STUDY KIT (OPTIONAL)
• Summaries, Q&A, math solving, and auto-generated flashcards (SM-2 spaced repetition)
• AI is powered by DeepSeek with your own API key; the app always asks for explicit consent before any text is sent. AI is fully optional — when off, all notes stay on your device and in your iCloud.
ICLOUD SYNC
• Private sync across your devices via iCloud/CloudKit, stored in your own private container
• Home Screen widget for quick access to recent notes
Inkelle respects your privacy: OCR runs on-device, there are no analytics or tracking SDKs, and your AI key is stored only in the local keychain.
Inkelle Pro unlocks unlimited notebooks with an annual subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. The free version includes 10 notebooks, and viewing, editing, and exporting your existing notes is never restricted.
