Most tools get in the way. Marginalia stays out of it.
01
Write a note, clip a highlight, jot a passing thought. Marginalia accepts anything — no folders, no friction, no filing.
02
Link notes with [[double brackets]]. Marginalia builds a graph of your thinking — surfacing connections you didn't know were there.
03
Daily digest resurfaces relevant notes from your past. Spaced review that feels like serendipity, not homework.
Not for how productivity gurus say you should.
A fresh page every morning. One place for the stream of consciousness, no decisions required.
Every link is two-way. See not just where your notes point, but what points back to them.
Save passages from the web, PDFs, and ebooks. Everything lands in your vault with source and context intact.
Search across every word in every note, instantly. Fuzzy matching catches what you were trying to remember.
A distraction-free, typeset view for long-form reading. Lora at comfortable measure. The way it should look.
Your notes are yours. Export to Markdown, PDF, or plain text any time. No lock-in, no proprietary formats.
Real words from real writers, researchers, and makers
"I've tried every PKM tool on the market. Marginalia is the first one that feels like it was designed for how I actually think — not how I wish I thought."
Robin Lao
Science journalist, The Atlantic
"The daily digest is uncanny. It surfaces a note from six months ago that's exactly relevant to what I'm working on today. Every single time."
Marcus Kwame
Independent researcher
"I write a newsletter, manage a podcast, and run a small press. Marginalia is the connective tissue between all of it. I don't know how I worked before."
Sabine Fuchs
Writer and publisher
