## What is Margen?

Another hour of scrolling and you can't remember a thing you saw? Margen is the scroll that actually leaves you with something: swipe and read stories, fun facts and humour that take a minute or two. In Spanish, Catalan, English and French.

There are gaps in the day too short for a series or a novel: the coffee queue, the platform, the ten minutes before sleep. Margen is made for those gaps.

Open it and a read sized to the moment is waiting: a micro-story that turns on its last line, a true story you'll end up telling at dinner, something that makes you laugh, a short chapter that leaves you wanting the next. No videos, no noise: one read at a time, each with its own cover art. And if you like, the radio reads them aloud.

Every day you read adds to your streak, and your streak has rewards: 3 days in a row earns 7 days of Margen Plus free, with more at 20, 50 and 100 days. Miss a day and a shield protects it. Put it on your home screen with the «Your streak» widget.

Everything is free to read. Margen Plus, optional, removes ads, unlocks unlimited radio, saves reads for offline and gives you a new shield every week.
