Welcome to the end-user documentation of Inkiva, a document-first Markdown editor for Windows x64 and macOS Intel/Apple Silicon.

Inkiva works with ordinary CommonMark/GFM files and folders. Navigation, backlinks, local history, and recovery are assistance around the document — not a separate workspace format.

The current desktop interface keeps the document at the center: a compact titlebar, optional navigation sidebar, tabs, and a focused writing surface. The screenshots in this guide are from the current Inkiva desktop application; labels can vary with the selected language and operating system.
