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.
