SourceInk
A private notebook. A pen-friendly canvas. AI when you choose it.
Handwriting, drawing and typed notes together on textured Windows pages. Start writing or drawing without creating an account, and ask for an AI reply or drawing feedback only when it helps.
- Writing, drawing, undo, export, the Windows Hello lock and your locally stored pages are free, with no AI unlock needed
- Choose your AI: a local Ollama model, OpenRouter's free-model route, or your own compatible service. Cloud content goes only to the service you approve, and that provider's terms, limits and any charges apply.
- Free on the Microsoft Store with 25 AI replies or drawing-feedback uses to try. An optional one-time unlock ($9.99 in the US) adds unlimited AI use in the app and all five personalities. No subscription.
A sister app to SourceToMe.

The Home Wi-Fi Fix-It Guide
The same triage I run on service calls, in the order that actually finds the problem.
18 short chapters that take you from a three-minute triage to the actual fix: which box does what, the restart order that works, connected-but-no-internet, placement, 2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz, dead zones and mesh, and when to call a pro.
- Speed tests explained, plus smart-home gear, printers and cameras
- A ten-minute security lockdown and a repair record to keep
- Four real-world scenarios, a checklist and a plain-English glossary
$19 · Coming soon
Integrated Edition v2, $19 one-time when it opens. Not on sale yet.
