Penedex, Your Digital Pen Cup (Sponsor)

Penedex is your digital pen cup where you can catalog your pen and ink collection, stay on top of your currently inked pens, and prepare for a pen show visit. You can add details to your pen and ink entries, such as nib type, pen material, ink color, shimmer, dry time, photos, and more. Penedex will also keep track of how often you use your items and display a range of statistics about your usage. You can also add pens and inks to a wishlist to save for later, like when attending a pen show.

New for 2024 is Penedex’s latest feature, the pen show organizer. If you’re visiting the St. Louis Pen Show this week, or other shows this Summer, it’s a great opportunity to give it a try. Each pen show in the calendar has its own detail page with important information and a section to prepare for your visit. Add important events to a checklist so you don’t miss meet ups. Plan out a budget with Penedex’s budget tracker by setting a total budget amount and add items to your checklist. Penedex will do the math to make sure your pen show haul won’t blow your budget.

Check out Penedex for iOS, or on the iOS App Store by searching Penedex. Penedex is free to download. And if you want to say hi you can find Penedex on Instagram and Threads @penedexapp or you can find the maker Connor Rose @clrosey.

My thanks to Penedex for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.
