Penedex, Your Digital Stationery Companion (Sponsor)

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

Penedex was born out of a desire for a simple, elegant method of keeping track of your personal pen collection. From that idea grew a full-featured organizer and usage tracker for all kinds of pen addicts, whether you’re a student with a few pens in your bag, you have mountains of ink bottles in your closet, or if you’re a pen show fanatic. No matter who you are, Penedex is the modern digital stationery companion for all things pens, inks, and pen shows.

With Penedex, you can catalog your pen and ink collection, prepare for a pen show, or check out what stationery stores are in your vicinity. You can add details to your pen and ink entries, such as nib type, pen material, ink color, shimmer, dry time, photos, and more. You keep a daily log of your pen usage quickly and easily. 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.

If you’re visiting the Atlanta Pen Show this weekend it’s a great opportunity to try out the Pen Show Planner & Organizer. Add important events to your show checklist or use the built in budget tracker to make sure your pen show haul won’t blow your budget.
