Turn the ring
Drag the marker, type a degree, or tap a cardinal. The silhouette stays on that bearing.
Illustrated ring · local heading only
Interactive demonstration. The ring writes locally. No heading has been minted.
A plate from the night desk
Give a direction your handwriting.
A chosen angle can hold a thought more clearly than another page of coordinates. North Ink treats that choice as a product: one ring, one marker, one heading that can later be claimed. Until then the plate is paper, and the notes stay with you.

How a heading is held
Write the plate
Keep a short note on the heading. It persists in this browser and can be opened again.
Stop before claim
On-chain heading identity is not wired. Ask for a claim only to see that boundary.
