Marginalia Notes & Planner

Write by hand. Plan your day. Keep everything together. Marginalia is a handwriting notebook and planner for iPad, built around Apple Pencil. It connects to Apple Calendar and Reminders, so your notes sit next to your meetings and your to-dos. On iPhone, Marginalia is a viewer.
