Technology

The inq platform.

A full-stack handwriting intelligence platform spanning pen hardware, cloud sync, and AI.

Platform

Smart pen hardware meets an open software platform.

The inq smart pen captures every stroke with sub-millimeter precision using Bluetooth and micro-dot pattern paper. That handwriting data flows through a layered platform of local SDKs, bi-directional cloud sync, and cloud APIs, giving developers and teams full control over how handwritten data is captured, processed, and used.

Data APIs

Integrate with inq cloud handwriting data to build custom workflows and apps.

Access handwriting data after it syncs to the cloud. Build seamless integrations with event-driven webhooks or real-time Server-Sent Events. Route handwritten notes into CRM, ERP, compliance, and productivity systems automatically.

✓Event-driven webhook delivery for new handwriting data

✓Server-Sent Events for real-time streaming to dashboards

✓Simple REST API for data retrieval and search

✓Works with no-code platforms and custom backends alike

Pen Local SDK

Build custom apps that connect with inq pens.

A multi-platform library for handling Bluetooth connection and interacting directly with inq pens. Receive real-time stroke data on any device and build fully custom pen-connected experiences.

✓Direct Bluetooth pen connection on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux

✓Real-time stroke data streaming from pen to device

✓Build fully custom pen-connected apps and utilities

✓No cloud dependency required

Sync SDK

Manage handwriting data across devices.

Handle stroke data, bi-directional cloud syncing, and arbitrary metadata enrichment. Typically paired with the Pen Local SDK, the Sync SDK enables complex custom apps that operate on local data with full cloud backup.

✓Bi-directional sync between device and cloud

✓Arbitrary metadata enrichment on sync including OCR and tagging

✓Operate on local data with automatic cloud backup

✓Offline support with seamless reconnection

Hardware

Real ink. Real paper. Full fidelity.

The inq smart pen writes with real ink while capturing every stroke digitally via Bluetooth with sub-millimeter accuracy.

✓Built-in Bluetooth captures every stroke in real time

✓Sub-millimeter accuracy for handwriting, sketches, and diagrams

✓Micro-dot pattern notebooks for precise digital capture

✓Offline-first: captures locally on-pen, syncs when in range

Compliance

Enterprise-grade trust.

Built for industries where compliance, auditability, and data integrity are non-negotiable.

✓Cryptographically secure timestamps and tamper-evident records

✓Full audit trail for every stroke, edit, and access event

✓Chain-of-custody with automatic metadata capture

✓Ready for SEC, FINRA, FOIA, and government retention requirements
