Inky is a cross-platform editor for ink, the narrative scripting language developed by inkle for interactive storytelling. It provides a dedicated writing environment for creating branching dialogue, dynamic narratives, and choice-driven experiences. Writers can test stories directly within the editor while continuing to modify their scripts. The live preview remembers previous choices and restores the current narrative position after recompilation. Syntax highlighting and continuous error detection help identify problems during writing. An issue browser lists warnings, errors, and unfinished tasks with direct navigation to their source locations. Multi-file projects are supported through ink's INCLUDE statements. Stories can be exported as compiled JSON for integration with compatible runtimes and game engines. Inky supports Windows, macOS, and Linux.
