This website download is a separate direct-distribution build from the Mac App Store edition. It contains no StoreKit purchase flow or subscription screen: every feature is available after the one-time website purchase.

Apple notarized this exact disk image after an automated malware check. It is signed with the publisher's Developer ID and its notarization ticket is stapled to the download, so Gatekeeper can verify it even when your Mac is offline.

What it is

What InQ does

One document that opens in four views: prose, spreadsheet, freeform canvas and slides. Change a number in the data view and every formula, chart and sentence that referenced it updates, because they are references rather than pasted copies.

The usual workflow is a spreadsheet, a document and a deck holding three copies of the same numbers, which drift apart the moment one changes. InQ keeps one `.inq` file and gives it four views: Flow for prose, Data for spreadsheet work, Canvas for freeform layout and Present for slides.

Because the views share a source, a changed figure propagates to every formula, chart and narrative reference that points at it. The deck does not go stale, because it was never a copy.

How it does its job

Live references

Charts and sentences reference the data rather than embedding a snapshot of it.

Four views, one file

Switch register without exporting, converting or re-pasting.

Native and local

SwiftUI on Mac, iPad and iPhone; the document is a file you own.

What it doesn't do

It is not a drop-in Excel replacement. Very large sheets and exotic macro workbooks belong elsewhere.

Native, local-first, and yours

InQ is a native Mac app distributed as a complete, fully activated download. No subscription, no account, no locked features, no tracking.
