Turn reading into thinking
Fill every margin.
Keep the thinking.
Make and keep your notes. Your own active-reading companion.
A quick check to see what kind of reader you are — and hold your founding spot.
Your sharpest thought lands in the moment, in the margin.
Then what?
- It’s gone by the next chapter.
- Or stuck in a book on a shelf, with no way out.
- Or you’re holding a library copy you can’t mark at all.
- Or it’s locked in an app you don’t control.
Marginalia catches your thinking wherever you read. Voice, photo, or type. Every note holds its page and its moment, and exports as notes that are yours to keep.
Type it, say it, snap it
Capture a note without leaving the page.
Read books and articles right in the app — or capture notes on anything in your hands, even a paper book. Every note keeps its page, and it all exports as plain files you own.
“Her point about sidewalks is really about trust at street level. Check against ch. 2.”
Saved with your photo of the page.
Casual eyes. The watchers who aren’t assigned to watch…
Set your page. Hold the mic. Say the thought.
Meet Marge — optional
An agent that helps you think —
not one that thinks for you.
Every book and article comes with Marge, an optional reading companion — there when you want her, gone when you don’t. Stuck on a passage? She asks the question that gets you there, not the answer that skips it. Use her or don’t; the thinking stays yours.
The margin is yours.
