Penedex is an app built to easily keep track of your pen and ink collections. It also provides a simple way to keep track of what pens you currently have inked up. Penedex is built for iOS and iPad OS and allows you to quickly and easily manage your currently inked pens, identify which pens are ready for cleaning, and keep track of what pen and ink combinations you have used in the past. Organizing and cataloging your pen and ink collections has never been more straight forward! - Create pen, ink, and EDC entries. - Keep track of your pen and ink combinations in the EDC tab. - Catalog important pen-related info like material, nib size, photos, and purchase date. - Quantify your ink’s unique characteristics such as dry time, sheen, saturation, and flow metrics. - Penedex will automatically keep track of how many times you’ve used a specific ink or pen. - After you’ve cataloged an active pen and ink combination, you can easily mark is as “needs cleaning” or “cleaned” with a long press on the corresponding EDC entry. - All your previously inked pens are stored in the History section of the Stats tab, along with some basic metrics about your library. - Keep a wishlist of all your grail pens and inks. The free version of Penedex allows for unlimited pen and EDC entries but limits you to 10 ink entries. Unlimited ink entries, along with other great features, can be unlocked with a Pro subscription in the Settings page. Inked The Inked tab is where you can easily catalog a pen and ink combination. All of your combinations are organized by date and when it’s time to mark a pen as “ready for cleaning”, you can quickly do so with a long-press on that item. You can also quickly filter your Ink'd list with one tap of the filter button. LIBRARY The pen and ink libraries allow you to quickly add, edit, and view key details about your collections and find the right pen or ink at a glance. It even keeps track of how many times you’ve inked up a particular pen or ink. For pens you can store information like the nib size, material, and purchase date. For your ink collection, you can catalog information such as dry time, level of sheen, saturation, and shading. You can even use the color picker to save the exact color of your ink from a picture or screenshot! WISHLIST Keep a running list of pens and inks that you are interested in trying out!

DO NOT USE if you collect pens
Pendex loses data— entire entries for pens, and all history of ink fills/cleaning. The January 2024 update erased all data I entered after late June of 2023, but retained data from January- June. Pendex doesn’t work for collectors. The UI for “inking” a pen is incapable of distinguishing between two pens of the same model, even if they are different colors or nibs. Pendex frustrates advocates. I was cheering for a Pacific Northwest developer. Now I regret I making the in-app purchase one year ago. I was hopeful & patient with deficiencies for a year. Including the unresponsive developer email address that rejects all feedback. I tried using Pendex for a hobby I enjoy. Pendex detracts from enjoyment, increases frustration & friction, and creates a sense of loss. Let this be some feedback for the developer and caution for anyone thinking this app will be fun and helpful for their fountain pen hobby.
Mostly a good app
The app works well and seems to have all of the options. 2 issues. I’d rather pay a one time fee and am not fond of subscriptions. And second the app cuts the photos down. If you have a long thin photo of a pen the app will cut the image smaller so that you only see a small section of the pen.
This app is a LIFESAVER when it comes to my pens!
I absolutely LOVE this app. I love it so much I pay for a yearly subscription, and I don’t pay for apps. This is the ONLY app I pay for because it’s THAT useful. Ever since I discovered fountain pens a few years ago, I couldn’t find a way to keep track of all of my pens and inks and currently inked that I would stick to. I would make a list and then inevitably stop using it. This app helps me keep track of all the pens and inks I own and what inks are in what pen. It just does what it’s supposed to do and it’s so easy it’s really nothing to make sure I’m keeping up with it. Absolutely LOVE it!!
Excellent
I’m new to fountain pens and my collection is growing. Needed a way to keep track of them. This app is great. Developer is responsive to queries and requests.
Straight forward and just what I need
This is the easy to access app I have wanted a long time for! Other options out they might have more social features and the like, but that was all way more than I needed for my collection and tracking my personal use. This has worked out to be exactly what I needed to fit my life! Happily supporting the pro version to see where the iterations will go!
Perfect for pen nerds
Simple setup and tracking. I love the features and can’t wait to see where this goes. Great app!
2024.1 New for 2024! Pen Shows and Budget Tracker. Also, I added some friends to the Settings view so you can explore more pen-related iOS apps from the community. -------------------------- Check out the new Pen Show tab for a calendar of pen shows past, present, and future. The pen show calendar currently requires an internet connection but an offline version is coming. This feature will also be coming to iPad later this year. You can keep track of your budget for each show and document purchases you make and events you attend. Feel free to reach out with pen show information or corrections. For those experiencing issues with submitting feedback in the past, those bugs should be resolved. Check out the new Friends section of Settings to find other pen-related apps. Fixed scaling issues with photos in pen detail view and added a pinch to zoom function for those photos as well.
