Versions:
Inkwell 0.1.0 by Tenorio Labs is a lightweight desktop note-taking application that merges typed notes with free-form drawing through the embedded Excalidraw engine, giving users a single canvas for text, sketches, diagrams, and annotations. Built on the Rust-based Tauri v2 framework, the program runs natively on both macOS and Windows, launching quickly and consuming minimal system resources while maintaining a modern web-tech interface. Typical use cases include lecture or meeting notes that require quick flowcharts, UI/UX wireframing during brainstorming sessions, mathematical derivations that mix formulas and shapes, and personal journaling that alternates between handwriting and typed paragraphs. Because every stroke remains editable Excalidraw objects, diagrams can be repositioned, recolored, or exported as SVG without loss of quality, while the surrounding text stays searchable. The first public release, version 0.1.0, introduces a single infinite canvas, basic rich-text formatting, pressure-sensitive pen input on supported tablets, and automatic local saving in an open JSON-based format that can be tracked in Git or any cloud folder. As the only version so far, it establishes the core hybrid note-taking workflow that the developer plans to expand with layers, theming, and cloud sync in future updates. Inkwell is available free of charge on get.nero.com; the site supplies the installer through trusted Windows package managers such as winget, always pointing to the newest build and enabling batch deployment alongside other applications.
