Pricing

Inkdrop's note-taking tool is designed for professionals looking to increase their productivity through organized Markdown notes. Unlike other apps with lifetime pricing, Inkdrop recognizes that this model is not sustainable for long-running businesses. As such, the tool is priced at a very affordable monthly subscription fee, which the company believes is worth the investment. The sustainability of the product is crucial, especially for note-taking apps that store a lot of notes day by day.

The pricing is not targeted to the mass of people, but it is set to provide exceptional value to professional users. Inkdrop believes that the productivity gains are worth more than the low monthly fee, which is less than most people's daily coffee habit. By keeping the pricing reasonable, Inkdrop can offer good, quick, and warm user support to its subscribers.

Inkdrop offers two types of discounts, an educational discount and a plugin developer license. The educational discount helps students and educators save on the subscription fee, while the plugin developer license is available for those who want to develop plugins for Inkdrop.

If you are interested in learning more about Inkdrop's pricing, the company's blog post provides more details on the subscription fees and discounts. With its focus on sustainability and affordability, Inkdrop's pricing ensures that productivity-boosting features are accessible to professionals everywhere.

FAQ

What platforms does Inkdrop run on?

Inkdrop is available for macOS 10.11.4 (El Capitan) or later, Windows 8.1 or later, and Ubuntu Linux 18.04 or later. The mobile app is also available for iOS 13+ and Android 8.0+.

Can I sync my data with DropBox, GoogleDrive, etc?

No. You can only sync your data with a server compatible with CouchDB. Read the documentation to learn how to set up your own sync server.

I don’t trust anyone with my note. Can I run Inkdrop server myself?

Yes! See the documentation for full instructions on setting up the sync server on your local machine. Or you can simply use it in offline mode by setting it from preferences.

Why don't you support WYSIWYG or rich text editor?

No. Because Inkdrop is for people who like writing Markdown in plain text. That allows the app to provide special features like vim keybindings. Providing both will end up becoming bad UX.

Why don't you target non-programmers? You will attract more customers.

Inkdrop should be simple and clean. It will never be feature-fat like a Swiss army knife.

How can I delete my account?

You can delete your account from the account page. Your data, including personal information, will be deleted immediately and permanently.

Can I deactivate my account without deleting data?

No. Since Inkdrop is not a VC-backed startup, we don't have a budget for keeping your data without your payments.

I forgot my password. How to reset my password?

Inkdrop cannot reset your password for security reasons. Please read how to recover your password. If you believe you know your password, but it isn’t accepted, try these steps:

• Confirm if Caps Lock is turned off – passwords are case-sensitive.
• Clear your browser’s cookies and cache.
• Try accessing Inkdrop in an incognito or private browsing window.

I don't remember my password but can I delete my account?

Yes, you can delete your account by receiving a link via email from the account page.

Do you offer student/teacher discounts?

Yes. See this page for requesting your discount.

Any chance to get a lifetime license?

No. Because lifetime pricing is not sustainable. We know there are similar apps with lifetime pricing out there, but it doesn't work for a long-running business. Sustainability is crucial, especially for note-taking apps because you will store a lot of notes in them day by day.

Where are my local data and config files?

Your local data is stored in the .inkdrop directory, which is located in your home directory:

• Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/inkdrop
• Windows: %APPDATA%\inkdrop
• Linux: ~/.config/inkdrop

The config file is config.cson in that directory.

Setup.exe gets quarantined as a virus threat by Windows Defender

It is a false positive. Our Setup.exe is generated with Squirrel, and apps built with it sometimes get quarantined as a virus threat, which is a false positive. You’ll either have to add a policy exclusion for the Setup.exe runs from or whitelist the process itself. Learn more about this issue on our forum.

Desktop app won't launch because it fails to load the database

If you are getting an error saying "Failed to load database," please make sure that another Inkdrop instance is not running. If you still get the error, your local data might be corrupt or missing. Please try moving your local data to another place and launch it again.

Is it possible to attach files to a note?

No. Inkdrop only supports attaching images. Please upload files to a cloud storage service and paste the URLs of them into the note.

How does billing work?

You can cancel your subscription by deleting your account through the Account page. Please keep in mind that all created notes and uploaded images will be deleted permanently since Inkdrop is not like a big company, we don't have a budget for keeping your data without your payments.

If you purchased a subscription in the iOS app, please check out the Apple documentation here.

If you switch from a monthly plan to a yearly plan, the billing date becomes the date of the switch. By default, Inkdrop prorates subscription costs. Please read the Stripe's documentation for more detail.

What payment methods do you accept?

We can accept credit and debit card payments with Visa, MasterCard, and American Express via Stripe. Since Inkdrop is a small business by a single developer, it is too hard to support various payment methods.

We use Stripe.com for online payments. Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. We never send and store your credit/debit card information to Inkdrop server. Learn more: Security at Stripe

What happens when I deactivate my account?

Your account will be deactivated, and you are no longer able to add/edit/remove your notes. But you can still access your data stored locally with the app in read-only mode.

What should I do if my payment fails?

The payment fails if you have canceled your card, the card may have expired, or the payment might be declined by the bank for some other reason. Then we will send you an email notification. Inkdrop will retry failed payments up to three times:

• 1st retry: 2 days after the first attempt
• 2nd retry: 5 days after the first retry
• 3rd retry: 10 days after the second retry

Where is my data stored?

Your data is kept stored on the Inkdrop server. You can't access your notes while deactivated. You can re-activate your account anytime.
