Fountain Pen Roster
Hobbyweight 1tracker · keeps what you put in
A drawer of fountain pens is a small nation, and somebody has to keep the census. The Fountain Pen Roster lists each pen, whether it is currently inked, what ink is in it, and when it was last cleaned — with notes for nib quirks and the ink you keep meaning to try. No more uncapping three pens to find the one with the blue-black in it.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here — go on, put something in it.

Questions people ask
How do I keep track of which fountain pens are inked?
Each pen gets an entry with a simple currently-inked tick, the ink it carries, and its last cleaning date. A glance down the list tells you what is loaded and what is resting.
Is my pen collection data stored online or on my computer?
On your computer, full stop. The roster is a single HTML file that works offline in your browser — no account, no sync, nothing sent anywhere. It is yours forever, like a good nib.
Why should I record when I last cleaned a fountain pen?
Because dried ink is the quiet ruin of good pens, and memory is a poor maintenance schedule. The last-cleaned date turns a vague guilt into a fact you can act on.
