Margin

Where reading sticks.

Margin is a personal reading library that keeps your notes, highlights, and ideas attached to the book — so what you read actually stays with you.

Read solo or with friends. Pick up where you left off. Let insights resurface when they matter.

Track what you’ve read, what you’re reading, and what’s next

Read with friends.

Create or join a digital book club.

Reading isn’t the hard part.

Remembering what mattered is.

Revisit ideas without digging or re-reading everything

Support local bookstores while you build your library with the “find now” feature.

How Margin Works

Most reading apps track progress.
Margin tracks thinking.

It’s built for people who read to learn, reflect, and connect ideas — not just to hit a number.

01 Add books

Build your library — past reads, current reads, future reads.

02 Write in the margins

Save thoughts, quotes, and questions directly to each book.

03 Read together (or don’t)

Join groups, share books, and keep conversations threaded and readable.

04 Come back later

Your notes stay with the book. Always.
