“…addresses the read-and-write gap that has defined the E Ink category for years”

When you take notes or sketch ideas, you're usually referencing something you're reading.
You need a surface to write on, and the PDF you’re writing about.
One screen can’t do both. There’s not enough space.
From the founder:
“When I took notes on my textbook in university, I tried every workaround. I was still wasting time flipping back and forth, annoyed by my lack of focus, and anxious that I wasn't actually thinking and learning effectively.”
Here’s what I tried:
Workaround 1:
Workaround 2:
Workaround 3:
And I found the perfect solution completely by accident.
I put 2 E-ink tablets side by side. PDF on one side, notes on the other.
I worked faster and stayed focused. I could read and write at the same time, without ever losing my place.
My notes were organized and searchable in one place. This time, I actually re-read my notes.
By the exam, I had retained all of what I studied, with half of the study time.
But needing to own and carry two devices was ridiculous. So we built it into one device.
1,500+ early deposits and 10,000+ on the early-access waitlist within months of its first reveal.
"It's the kind of setup that researchers, students, and writers have been piecing together awkwardly with a tablet and a separate notebook for years."

Inkleaf gives you a full page of notes right next to your book, side by side.
Saves time and focus:
Keep a document of the problem and your scratch work in view at once. Sketch your thoughts the way you understand them.
Think more clearly & retain focus:
Keep a map, translation, dictionary, or a character list, while you read so you can easily follow what you're reading.
Follow the story:

I’m part of a small team who’s led 4 consumer electronics crowdfunding campaigns.
Inkleaf took 17 iterations to feel ready to ship. I’ve sent back versions because of tiny wobbles in the hinge.
Today, it’s finally something I’m confident enough in to put my name on.
I’m in and out of the factory, verifying the quality of our 1000 launch units, and I’m here to answer questions.
You will hear production campaign updates from me the same day they happen.

The hinge. A machined barrel that should outlast the rest of the device.
