## What is BookMarrow?

You read the book. Now actually use it.

Most reading apps help you highlight and forget. BookMarrow is built for the part that matters: turning what you read into what you do. Take notes chapter by chapter, capture the lines worth remembering, and gather every takeaway into one place you'll actually return to.

Made for nonfiction readers who want their books to change something.

TAKE NOTES THAT STICK
• Add a chapter and start writing instantly
• Rich formatting — headings, bold, italic, bullets, and lists
• Type, handwrite with Apple Pencil, or scan a page with your camera to pull the text straight into your notes

TURN IDEAS INTO ACTION
• Add "How to apply it" takeaways to any chapter or book
• Everything collects in the Apply tab, grouped by book, so you can work through it and check each one off
• Tag takeaways by topic to find them fast

KEEP THE LINES WORTH REMEMBERING
• Save favorite quotes with the book, author, and page
• Browse them all in one beautiful Quotes collection
• Search and filter across every book

BUILD YOUR LIBRARY IN SECONDS
• Search any title or scan a barcode — the cover and details fill in automatically
• Organize books across Want to Read, Reading, and Read shelves
• Drag to prioritize your reading queue, with your next book up front

YOURS, EVERYWHERE
• Syncs across iPhone and iPad with iCloud
• Export any book's notes as Markdown or PDF

Your notes live in your own iCloud. No account, no ads, no tracking.

Stop collecting highlights you'll never open again. Start finishing books that change how you work and live.
