Free templates
13 free templates for the pens on your desk.
Each one answers a single question a collector asks with a pen already in hand. Take the CSV and keep it in a spreadsheet, or join the waitlist and keep the same record in Vergure. Both are free to start.

Pick the question
What do I actually own?
Fountain pen collection spreadsheet
One catalog of the whole shelf: what each pen is, what it cost, what it is worth. 19 columns, with the insurance fields folded in.

Which pen do I reach for?
Fountain pen tracker
A usage log for the pens in rotation, with nib size, filling system and the notes you keep forgetting. Start in the CSV, or keep it in Vergure and add a pen in 4 fields.

Which ink is in which pen?
Currently Inked tracker
The pens inked right now, each with the ink beside it. Mark a pen inked, change the fill, or un-ink it after a cleanout.

Do I already have this bottle?
Ink inventory
The bottles, samples and cartridges already on the shelf. The list you check on a phone before a second bottle of the same ink is ordered.
Read the page →
Have I already tried this one?
Ink sample tracker
The sample vials, the pen each was tested in, and the verdict. 18 columns, so a drawer of untested samples turns into a shopping list.

Which pen got which grind?
Nib grind chart
The common grinds and what each does to a line, plus a log of who ground which nib, what it cost, and whether it stayed.

Which pen should I ink next?
Pen rotation schedule
Cap the pens you keep inked, ink the longest-idle one next, flush on the ink's own clock. A method, a worked month, and the dates in a CSV.
Read the page →
When was it last flushed?
Fountain pen cleaning schedule
The fill, the flush and the date you committed to next. 11 columns, so the four-to-eight week clock runs on a written line instead of memory.
Read the page →
Which pen am I saving for?
Fountain pen wish list
The pens you want, what each will cost, and how much of the fund is saved. 11 columns, so the cart loses to the grail on paper first.
Read the page →
Is that bottle still safe to use?
Iron gall ink tracker
The opened date, the last deposit check and the flush due date, bottle by bottle. 16 columns, so the dark shelf holds a schedule and not a gamble.

How did I make that color?
Ink mixing recipe template
The inks and parts that went in, the batch it made, and the verdict. 21 columns, so a mix you liked once becomes a recipe you can repeat.
Read the page →
What does that ink look like on paper?
Ink swatch tracker
The ink, the method, the paper, and what the color did when it dried. 20 columns, so a swatch book compares inks instead of methods.

Who is still writing back?
Pen pal tracker spreadsheet
The letters in and out, the last reply, and the nudge date you set yourself. 16 columns, so a slow month never reads as a lost friend.

The spreadsheet, if that is all you came for
One CSV with the columns the pen pages describe: item, brand, category, nib size, ink loaded, and a note. It opens in Sheets, Excel or Numbers, and it costs nothing.
The samples have their own file, with the verdict column, on the ink sample tracker page.
