Run it on Linux

Download
Grab Ink-0.1.0-x86_64.AppImage above. It's 157 MB.
2
Make it executable
```
chmod +x Ink-0.1.0-x86_64.AppImage
```
Or: right-click → Properties → allow executing as a program.
3
Run it
```
./Ink-0.1.0-x86_64.AppImage
```
Then pick ~/Notes or any folder, including an Obsidian vault.

When run from an AppImage, Ink adds a launcher entry and icons under ~/.local/share so your dock can find it. Delete those files to remove them. If it complains about FUSE on a recent distribution, install FUSE 2 (libfuse2), or run it with --appimage-extract-and-run.

Unsigned builds

These builds are not code-signed. On Windows and macOS, once those ship, you will likely see a warning from SmartScreen or Gatekeeper. The checksum above is how you confirm you have the file that was published.

Your notes after installing

On first launch you either use ~/Notes or choose a folder (an existing Obsidian vault works). Ink reads and writes Markdown files there and keeps its own search index, trash and templates in a hidden .notes folder inside it. Nothing is sent anywhere. Read the docs.
