Workspace & File Tree

Open any folder and browse your markdown files from the sidebar — no file manager needed.

How it works

  1. Click Open Folder in the sidebar (or on the welcome screen)
  2. Pick a folder — Inkwell lists all .md, .markdown, and .txt files
  3. Click any file to open it in a new tab
  4. Your workspace persists between sessions

What you get

  • Flat file listing — alphabetically sorted, clean and simple
  • Active file highlighting — the file you're editing is visually marked
  • Folder name in sidebar — always know which workspace you're in
  • Auto-refresh — switch back to Inkwell and the tree updates if files changed externally

Switching workspaces

Click Open Folder again to switch to a different folder. Your previous workspace is replaced — Inkwell focuses on one folder at a time.
