Every great passage, always within reach.
Marginalis is an iOS reading journal for physical book readers. Capture highlights with Live Text, organise your library, and revisit the passages that changed how you think.
Not all those who wander are lost.
QuotePoint your camera at any page. iOS Live Text selects the words. Your note is created in seconds — no typing required.
Organise books across Reading, Up Next, Wishlist, and Finished. Scan a barcode or search to add any title instantly.
A heatmap of your reading activity, note type breakdown, favourite authors, and a tag cloud built from your own annotations.
Turn any note into a beautiful image card — paper or editorial style, portrait or square — and share it anywhere.
On supported devices, Marginalis generates an intelligent summary of your notes for any book — powered entirely on-device by Apple Intelligence. Your words never leave your phone.
Not every thought about a book is the same. Marginalis gives each kind of note its own voice — quote, idea, question, reaction, or summary.
Your library and notes live entirely on your iPhone (iCloud sync is optional). No sign-up, no server.
Marginalis contains zero advertising SDKs and zero analytics tools. Nothing phones home.
The AI book summary feature uses Apple Intelligence — processed entirely on your device.
What you read and what you think about it is nobody's business but yours.
"Great books leave marks. Marginalis keeps them."
