What it does
Inksightful turns paper notebooks and diaries into a searchable archive. Scan pages with your iPhone, use AI handwriting recognition, and find names, places, ideas, and memories later without flipping through old pages. Original scans stay linked to the text so you can check the source.
Scan paper journals and notebooks, preserve the original pages, and search your handwritten archive on iPhone.
Inksightful creates a local-first, searchable digital archive of your paper journals. Scan paper journals and notebooks, keep the original page images close, and search for the names, places, phrases, and memories you wrote down. Run cloud AI processing to recognize handwriting and organize dated entries. Find a name, phrase, place, or memory and jump back to the source page. Install Inksightful on iPhone and start building a searchable archive from the paper notebooks you already use.

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
