Pin down the story
before it wriggles away.
Cork is a corkboard of index cards for writers — scenes, characters, research — that you arrange, stack, and link until the shape of the thing finally shows itself.
(Also quietly excellent for trip plans, recipes, and reading lists. We won't tell the writers.)

Arrange & stack
Lay cards anywhere on an open board, or march them through kanban columns when it's time to be organized. Drop one card onto another and they stack — like the pile on your actual desk, minus the coffee ring.
Link your thinking
Type [[ to link any card to any other — characters to scenes, themes to chapters. Backlinks show every place a card is mentioned, so no thread gets lost.
Own your words
Cards are markdown underneath. Export any board as a clean.md file, share a read-only link, or leave entirely and take everything with you. Your words are yours.
Honest pricing
Billed once a year. Cancel whenever — you keep what you paid for.

Fair questions
- Is my writing private?
- Yes. Boards are private to your account. The only exception is a board you explicitly share — that creates a read-only link you can turn off at any time.
- What happens if I cancel or downgrade?
- You keep your plan until the end of the year you paid for — then the new plan applies. Nothing is ever deleted: if you're over the smaller plan's limits, Cork just asks you to archive boards (or trim images) before adding more. Details in our refund policy.
- Can I get my writing out of Cork?
- Always. Cards are markdown under the hood, and any board exports to a clean .md file in one click — headings, checklists, links and all.
- What are the image limits?
- Each image can be up to 10 MB, and each plan includes a pool of image storage (25 MB free, up to 1 GB on Advanced). Deleting an image frees its space; archiving a board does not.
- Who makes Cork?
- One person, who wanted this to exist. No growth team, no dark patterns — if something's broken or missing, email and a human answers.
