Remember what you read. Marginalia is a book tracker that keeps the passages, words and ideas from your books, and brings them back before you forget them. KEEP WHAT YOU READ Point your camera at a page and select the passage you want to keep. Write your own notes in the margins. Look up an unfamiliar word and it's saved to your vocabulary, with the sentence you found it in. REMEMBER IT Add a book to Recall and Marginalia asks you about it in a short conversation, so what you read stays with you. Words you look up come back too. TRACK YOUR READING Want to read, Reading, Finished and Didn't finish. Search a large catalogue, choose the cover you actually own, and record where you are with a page dial that's quick enough to use mid-chapter. Rate and review what you finish, log re-reads without losing the first time through, and see each book's reading history day by day. Coming from Goodreads? Bring your library across, and export it any time. SET A GOAL Set a yearly reading challenge and see whether you're ahead or behind, with every book you finished that year and the years before. See how long your to-read pile would take at your own pace. READ WITH FRIENDS Add friends to see what they're reading, browse their shelves and highlights, see how your taste matches, and get suggestions drawn from their favourites. Follow authors, read about them, and see what's new from them in Explore. SHARE IT Share a passage or a book as a story, drawn in the book's own colours, or share your year in books. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Shelves, progress, highlights, notes and words all work without an account. Sign in with Apple or Google when you want friends, cloud sync and Recall. No ads, no tracking, and nothing leaves your phone for an AI service unless you agree first. ## Is Marginalia safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess Marginalia. ## Is Marginalia legit?
