Inkju is a text editor. You write; it saves markdown files to your own disk. These terms cover the free version in your browser and the purchase of the desktop app — and the most important line in them is that your notes stay readable whether you pay or not.
Who you are agreeing with
Inkju is provided by Roy Villasana, trading as Inkju ("we", "us"). By downloading, installing or using Inkju you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use it.
Before publishing: the governing-law section near the end needs your country, and the payment processor needs naming once it is chosen. Both are marked. This document has not been reviewed by a lawyer; once you are taking recurring payments from consumers, it is worth an hour of one's time.
What you get
| Browser version | Desktop app | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free, no account | Free for 14 days, then $15 once |
| Where your notes live | Your browser, on your device | A folder you choose, on your disk |
| Works offline | Yes | Yes |
The browser version
Free, with no account and no purchase. It runs entirely on your machine and keeps your draft in your browser's local storage. We make no promise that it will remain available, and it may change or be withdrawn.
The desktop app
Downloading it is free, and it is fully usable for fourteen days. After that, writing in it requires a license, bought once. A license gives you a personal, non-transferable right to use Inkju on one computer at a time that you own or control, with no renewal and no expiry. You can move it to another computer yourself, from inside the app.
If you were using Inkju while it was free, that copy stays free. You do not need to buy anything.
Your purchase
- You pay once. There is no subscription, nothing renews, and nothing you have bought stops working because time has passed.
- A license works offline. It is a small signed file on your computer. Inkju does not contact us to check it, and it keeps working if we stop existing.
- The price can change for people who have not bought yet. It never changes what you already paid for.
- Taxes may be added where the law requires it, depending on where you are.
- Payment is handled by Lemon Squeezy, who act as the seller of record. We never see or store your card details.
Refunds
If you are a consumer in the EU or the UK you have a statutory right to withdraw within 14 days of buying. Because a license is delivered immediately, that right may be reduced or lost once you use it, as the law allows — but we would rather not argue about it: if Inkju is not what you wanted, write to us within 14 days and we will refund you.
A refunded license stops unlocking the app.
If your trial ends, your files do not. Inkju will stop letting you edit in the desktop app until you buy it, but it will never lock, hide, encrypt or delete your notes. They are markdown files in a folder you chose, they stay exactly where they are, and any text editor on earth can open them. Nothing you have written is ever held hostage to a payment.
What Inkju is not
Inkju is not a backup service. Your notes are files on your disk and their safety is your responsibility — keep backups, as you would for anything else you would hate to lose. We provide no storage of your documents and hold no copy of them.
Connecting other services
Inkju can open notes held in services you connect yourself, such as Google Drive. When you do, your use of that service is governed by that service's own terms, not these. We are not a party to it: sign-in happens between your computer and the provider, and files move between the same two. We are not responsible for a third-party service changing, breaking, restricting access or losing data.
What you may not do
- Share, resell or sublicense your license, or use one license for several people.
- Work around licensing or any technical limit in the app.
- Use Inkju to do something illegal, or to store material you have no right to hold.
- Claim Inkju is yours, or pass off a modified copy as the original.
Earlier versions of Inkju were published under the MIT license, and those versions remain under it — we are not trying to take that back, and could not. These terms govern the current desktop app and the subscription that comes with it.
Your writing is yours
You keep every right to everything you write in Inkju. We claim no license over it, no ownership of it, and no right to read it. We could not exercise such a right if we wanted to: your notes never reach us. See the privacy policy, which says the same thing in more detail.
Ending it
You can stop using Inkju whenever you like; delete the app, and the license is still yours if you come back. We may revoke a license that is being used to break these terms, or that was obtained by abusing the payment system. If we revoke one for a reason that is not your fault, we will refund what you paid.
What we do not promise
Inkju is provided as it is. We do our best to make it correct and reliable — it is tested before every release — but we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose, and we cannot promise it will suit every workflow.
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for lost profits, or for lost data. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability for death, personal injury, fraud, or anything else that cannot lawfully be limited — and if you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected by any of this.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If a change materially affects you, we will say so here before it takes effect, and it will not take away anything you have already paid for. Continuing to use Inkju after that is acceptance.
Governing law
To fill in: these terms are governed by the law of [COUNTRY], and its courts have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory law of the country where you live.
