Inkature Update — 7/28/26

Posted July 28, 2026

We just launched a big update with tons of new features, improvements, and bug fixes! See below for a list of everything that changed.


New Features

Content ratings & mature content
  • Projects can now be given an audience rating — General, Teen, or Mature — right from the create dialog and project settings.
  • Authors can tag projects with content warnings (graphic violence, major character death, strong language, and more) via a new multi-select.
  • Mature content is gated behind a blur + warning. Readers choose to reveal it, and it stays visible for the rest of the session.
  • New privacy setting: "Always show mature content" — opt in once and skip the warnings.
  • A Community Guidelines dialog is now available from the composer and the new-project dialog.

Note: sexual content remains never permitted on the platform, regardless of rating.

@mentions
  • Mention anyone with @username — the composer now has live autocomplete as you type.
  • Mentioned users get an in-app notification and a push.
  • Mentions render as clickable profile links (with hover cards) throughout posts.
Co-authored projects (suggested by @paladin__)
  • Invite up to 5 co-authors to a project from its settings.
  • Co-authors can log words toward the shared project, and it shows up in their "Log Words" project picker.
  • Added authors receive a "co-author added" notification.
General writing logs (suggested by @ysatou)
  • Log words that aren't tied to any project — perfect for journaling, drafting, or freewriting.
  • General writing counts toward your streak but is excluded from project daily-goal math.
Pause & resume writing sessions
  • The writing-session timer now has pause and resume.
  • Paused time is excluded from your final session duration, so your recorded minutes stay accurate.
More room for supporters
  • Supporters now get a 2,500-character post limit (up from the standard 1,000).
  • Long posts are collapsed behind a "Show more" toggle in the feed to keep things tidy.
Discord & socials
  • Added Inkature's Discord to the footer and the socials page — discord.gg/Z6Q7m6evVd.
  • Added a "Try Inkature" button to the socials page.

Improvements

Smarter sign-in
  • The "Sign in to continue" flow now remembers where you were headed and sends you back there after logging in — across email/password, MFA, passkey, and Google/Discord sign-in.

Thanks for writing with us. As always, feedback and bug reports are welcome — drop them in the app or in our new Discord.
