The app
A closer look at Inktend
Five screens, one idea: your collection should feel like something you use every day, not an archive you maintain. Here's what that looks like in practice.
01 · Home
Currently Inked, not buried in a menu
Most pen apps open on an inventory. Inktend opens on your rotation — every pen that's actually filled right now, how many days it's been inked, and how much ink is left. A pen that's gone 21 days gets a quiet amber flag to clean it before a nib dries out.
02 · Library
A built-in catalog, organized the way collectors think
365 inks across 34 brands come standard, sorted blacks-first, then blues and navies, then the rest of the spectrum — the same order the community actually reasons about a shelf of ink. Snap a photo of a swatch on your own paper and Inktend matches the color to what you actually see, not just the manufacturer's listing.
03 · Logging a fill
Ten seconds to log, a little memory built in
Pick a dry pen, pick an ink, done. If it's the first time that pairing has happened, Inktend says so — a small, honest touch for a hobby where the pen-and-ink pairing is half the fun.
04 · Stats & sharing
A Year in Ink, and a card worth posting
Fills logged, pens owned, inks owned, and your most-reached-for bottle — all tracked quietly in the background. When you want to share your rotation, Inktend generates a clean, on-brand card built for r/fountainpens, no account or watermark required.
05 · Your data
Nothing here is locked in
Import your existing collection from Fountain Pen Companion or any CSV in one tap. Export everything — every pen, every ink, every fill — back out whenever you want, in a plain file you can open in a spreadsheet. No account, no server, no lock-in.
