Ingrid — A grid of grids

2 min read Original article ↗

Local-first structured editor

Ingrid is a grid of grids for structured thinking.

Put grids inside tiles so a quick list can grow into a plan, a knowledge base, or a working model without changing tools.

No account required. Your grids stay in this browser unless you turn on Sync.

How Ingrid works

Grids within grids

Every tile can hold another grid. Start flat, then add depth only where it clarifies the work.

Fast from the keyboard

Navigate tiles, edit text, move rows and columns, and reshape selections without leaving the grid.

Local by default

Ingrid works without an account and keeps editing offline after the first visit. Exportable backups keep you in control.

Native files

Native Ingrid files store the grid as validated data instead of an opaque canvas. People and coding agents can inspect and change the structure without flattening it.

Ingrid Desktop opens native files directly and is currently in private testing. The web app is available now.

Start with one grid

Make a list, then add rows, columns, or depth when the work needs them.
