FAQ
Which file formats does Inkra support?
Inkra works with Markdown files (.md). HTML and PDF are available for export. The preview renders KaTeX formulas, Mermaid diagrams and syntax highlighting for many programming languages.
How much does Inkra cost?
Inkra for Mac costs EUR 29.99 incl. VAT as a one-time purchase, no subscription; the purchase includes updates for Inkra 1.x. You can try Inkra free for 14 days first. Inkra Pro costs EUR 7.99 per month or EUR 79.99 per year (incl. VAT) and additionally includes Inkra KI, the MCP server and the REST API.
Is Inkra available for iPad and iPhone?
Yes, the Inkra app for iPad and iPhone is available free of charge from the App Store and needs no licence (iPadOS or iOS 17.0 or later). The Inkra purchase and the Inkra Pro subscription apply to the Mac. With Inkra Pro you can use Inkra KI on iPad and iPhone too: enter the same licence key there.
Is my text sent to a server?
Your documents are stored as files on your Mac. Text only goes to the chosen AI provider when you use the AI assistant; with Ollama, the AI stays local too. Only if you set up syncing between your devices are your documents transmitted via our sync server. For activation and licence checks, Inkra connects to our licence server.
What is Inkra KI?
Inkra KI is the Inkra AI service that needs no API key of your own: AI features are available immediately, within a usage allowance. Inkra KI is part of Inkra Pro (EUR 7.99 per month or EUR 79.99 per year) and, with the same licence key, can also be used in the free app for iPad and iPhone. With Inkra, AI works with your own API key or locally with Ollama.
Can I use my own AI providers?
Yes, Inkra supports Claude, OpenAI, Ollama and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. API keys are stored in the macOS Keychain.
Does Inkra need an internet connection?
Yes, for activation and licence checks: Inkra needs an internet connection at least every 40 days. Syncing between your devices and AI services on the internet need one too.
How does the MCP integration work?
The MCP server (inkra-mcp-server) ships as a standalone process inside the app bundle and communicates with the main app via XPC. AI assistants like Claude Code can access the editor through it. The MCP server and the REST API are part of Inkra Pro and are only included in the version from our store, not in the one from the Mac App Store.
