Frequently Asked Questions
How does the free trial work?
InkBlot is free to download and use for 3 days with full functionality. After the trial, a one-time $0.99 in-app purchase unlocks the app forever — no subscription.
How do I restore my purchase on a new Mac?
Open InkBlot and click "Restore Purchase" on the unlock screen. Make sure you're signed into the same Apple ID you used for the original purchase.
What markdown features are supported?
InkBlot supports standard Markdown: headings, bold, italic, links, images, code blocks, blockquotes, tables, lists, and horizontal rules.
Why does my PDF look exactly like the preview?
Both the live preview and PDF export use the same rendering engine and stylesheet. What you see in the editor is what you get in the PDF — no formatting surprises.
What macOS versions are supported?
InkBlot requires macOS 12 (Monterey) or later.
Does InkBlot require an internet connection?
No. InkBlot works entirely offline. The only network access is for verifying your App Store purchase, handled by macOS.
Troubleshooting
Make sure you have content in the editor before exporting. If the issue persists, try saving the file first (Cmd+S), then export again.
Click "Restore Purchase" on the unlock screen. If that doesn't work, make sure you're signed into the correct Apple ID in System Settings > Apple ID. Then relaunch InkBlot.
Try deleting and reinstalling from the Mac App Store. If the problem continues, email us with your macOS version and we'll investigate.
InkBlot can open and save .md and .txt files. If a file won't open, check that it's a plain text file and not a binary format.
