Why Inkwell

Built for writers, not growth hackers.

Most newsletter tools cap your free tier, push pop-ups on your readers, and bury the writing experience under dashboards. Inkwell does the opposite.

Unlimited subscribers, free

No 500-reader cap. Grow to thousands without paying a cent.

Zero tracking

No pixels, no ad scripts. Your readers' inboxes stay clean.

Markdown-first editor

Write the way you think. Live preview, editorial typography.

Public subscribe page

Every newsletter gets a polished landing page and RSS feed.

One-click unsubscribe

Respect your readers. They stay because they want to.

Own your audience

Export your subscribers anytime. No lock-in, no revenue share.

The issue

A typeset that feels printed.

Each issue is rendered with editorial spacing and serif-grade rhythm. Your readers get something that respects their time — no marketing junk in the footer, no tracking pixels in their inbox.

  • Markdown headings, lists, links, blockquotes
  • Auto-attached unsubscribe link
  • Public archive on your subscribe page

Field Notes · Tuesday

On finishing what you start (and the small joy of an empty inbox)

This week I cleared 412 unread emails. Most of them were newsletters I'd subscribed to with great intent and never read. Here's what I learned about attention…

Yuri Alves, founder of Inkwell — black and white portrait

The founder

Hi, I'm Yuri — the developer behind Inkwell.

I'm a developer and founder from Guernsey. Most of my work has been building software, automations, and small products that fix very real problems — usually the kind that annoy me enough that I end up building the solution myself.

I built Inkwell because I got tired of how complicated and bloated newsletter platforms have become. Most tools felt like they were made for marketing teams: endless dashboards, funnels, analytics panels, automations, pop-ups, and settings hidden behind settings. I just wanted something simple where people could write, publish, grow an audience, and actually enjoy the process.

The moment that sparked it was helping with newsletter workflows and seeing how much friction there was just to send a good-looking email or manage subscribers properly. Everything felt over-engineered, too expensive, or designed to push you into being a full-time marketer instead of a writer.

The name "Inkwell" comes from the old tool writers used to dip their pens into. Simple tool, pure purpose — just writing.

Contact us →
Is Inkwell free to start?
Yes. Create a newsletter, share its subscribe page, and send issues on the free plan. Upgrade to Pro when you need higher send limits, custom branding, and the API.
How do readers subscribe?
Each newsletter gets a public landing page (e.g. /n/your-slug) where anyone can subscribe with their email. You can also collect signups from anywhere via the public API.
What happens after I subscribe?
You'll get a confirmation email — one click to confirm and you're on the list. From then on, every new issue the writer publishes lands in your inbox, rendered with the same editorial preview the author saw before pressing send. One-click unsubscribe lives at the bottom of every issue.
Open the editor →Preview a real issue →
Do my readers get tracked?
No tracking pixels, no marketing junk in the footer. Issues ship with a one-click unsubscribe link and that's it.
Can I write in markdown?
Yes — the editor takes markdown with live preview. Headings, lists, links, blockquotes, and code blocks all render with editorial spacing in the email.
Where do I report a bug or request a feature?
Use the contact form — pick "Bug report" or "Feature request" and tell us what happened or what you'd love to see. Every message reaches a real person.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Pro plans cancel at the end of the current billing period from your dashboard. Your archive and subscribers remain on the free plan.
