Thanks for your help and patience with my firewall issues. Because I like the UI and enjoy using the app, it makes such a difference to want to use it to take notes. And he mentioned InkDrop and how one of the important things for a note taking app is “Does it Spark Joy”.Īfter briefly trying out several other note taking apps and being rather frustrated with their UI, I have to say InkDrop definitely hits that “does it spark joy” feeling when it comes to take notes.
I follow Julian Schrittwieser on twitter (Mu Zero, AI, Deep Learning). I’m not sure if all of this is needed, but I figured I would report back in case this is of use to anyone else.Īfter the above, the app then started syncing and I now I see the synced notes on my Android as well as on the desktop. %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\inkdrop\Inkdrop.exe.%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\inkdrop\app-5.2.1\Inkdrop.exe.I understand you would like to use the app in your corporate Windows 10 environment. Then I also went to Advanced Settings and created inbound and outbound rules where I allowed both of these executables through on all ports: And running inkdrop natively in windows would still be preferred, it’s much less hassle to click on the inkdrop symbol than starting starting X client on windows, starting WSL and typing inkdrop &.
I used the option to “allow an app or feature through the Windows Defender firewall”, and I added this executable.Ĭ:\Users\nshor\AppData\Local\inkdrop\app-5.2.1\Inkdrop.exe After doing all of the following, I was finally able to get InkDrop to work:
With Windows Defender, I couldn’t add a phrase like “*.inkdrop.app”.
