## What is 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. Writing, typing, recording and editing happen on your iPad; your notes, folders, meeting links and daily memos sync to your iPhone through your own iCloud account so you can read them anywhere. Viewing on iPhone is free.

WRITE
• Natural handwriting with Apple Pencil, using the system tools: pens, highlighter, eraser, rulers and colours
• Palm rejection: only the Pencil writes, and your finger scrolls (you can change this in Settings)
• Pages that fit the way you work: blank, ruled, wide ruled, notebook paper with a margin, grid, graph paper, dot grid, Cornell and meeting notes
• Import your own template from an image or PDF
• Import a PDF as a multi-page note and write on top of it
• Export any note as a PDF

ORGANISE
• Folders and subfolders, with drag and drop to move notes
• Sort by last edited, date created or title, and filter by folder
• Search across note titles, folders and recording transcripts
• Lock a note with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode

MEETINGS AND PLANNING
• A day view with an hour-by-hour agenda, plus week and month views
• Start a meeting note straight from any calendar event, with the title, time and attendees filled in
• Link any note to a meeting, and jump from the note back to that day
• Choose which calendars and reminder lists you see
• See your reminders beside your schedule, tick them off, and add new ones, even from inside a note
• A quick handwritten memo page for every day, which you can turn into a full note

AUDIO
• Record audio inside a note, with pause and resume, in the background
• Play it back with 15-second skips and speed control
• Turn a recording into text on your iPad, with timestamps you can tap to play from that point
• With Apple Intelligence on a supported iPad, get a short summary and a list of action items, and add them to Reminders in one tap
• Transcription and summaries run on your iPad. Your audio is not sent to us or to anyone else.

LOOKS
• White, warm paper, or an E-ink look: grey paper, charcoal ink, no colour and no animation

ON IPHONE (VIEW ONLY)
- Browse and search your notes and folders
- Read every page as you wrote it: handwriting, typed text, imported PDFs and templates, with zoom
- Read transcripts and summaries of your recordings
- See your day: meetings, reminders and your daily memo, with linked notes one tap away
- Locked notes still ask for Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode
- Editing, writing and recording need an iPad

SYNC AND PRIVACY
• Your notes, recordings and settings sync between your devices through your own iCloud account
• No account to create and no ads
• We do not collect your data

Apple Intelligence summaries need an iPad that supports Apple Intelligence and iPadOS 26 or later. Transcription needs iPadOS 17 or later; language support depends on your iPad.
