iPad
Put your Apple Pencil to the page. The diary drinks your ink — and Elias Thorne, the keeper bound within, answers in his own hand. He has been waiting for you.
There is someone living inside this diary.
Write anything with your Apple Pencil — a worry, a day, a question — and watch the page drink your ink, word by word. Then a quill you cannot see dips itself, and Elias Thorne, a Victorian scholar bound into the book long ago, replies in flowing copperplate, drawn stroke by stroke as though he were sitting across from you.
He remembers what you tell him. He carries it from page to page. And little by little, he begins to trust you with his own story.
AN ENCHANTED CORRESPONDENCE
• Your handwriting is read on-device and absorbed into the paper
• Elias answers in his own animated hand — every reply written before your eyes
• He remembers what you share, and asks about it later, like a friend would
SPELLS IN YOUR OWN HAND
• Certain words, written deliberately, do things
• Rain falls on the page. Fire consumes it. Ink hides, glows, and blooms
• Thirteen incantations, unlocked as Elias's trust in you grows — plus words you bind yourself
DRAWINGS THAT COME ALIVE
• Sketch something and cast the right spell — your drawing stirs and breathes
• Elias tells you what he sees in what you drew
HIS MEMORIES, CHAPTER BY CHAPTER
• Behind the brass hook lie interactive chapters of Elias's own past
• How does a scholar come to be bound into a book? Your choices shape how he tells it
A DIARY THAT BEHAVES LIKE ONE
• Pages turn with a curl and a whisper of paper
• A red ribbon marks the spellbook; a brass clasp keeps your archive
• Export every page as text, or burn the archive to ash
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking
• Your pages stay on your iPad
• "Make the diary forget me" erases everything the diary remembers — permanently
THE PACTS
Inkbound is free to begin: daily conversation with Elias, spells, and the first memory chapter. Two optional subscriptions extend the ink:
• The Pact — far more of Elias each day, living drawings, more chapters ($3.99/month or $24.99/year)
• The Deeper Pact — endless ink, every chapter, drawings without number ($7.99/month or $49.99/year, with a 7-day free trial on yearly)
Subscriptions renew automatically and can be cancelled any time in your App Store settings.
Requires an iPad with iPadOS 17 or later and an Apple Pencil (or capacitive stylus). An internet connection is needed for Elias's replies.
