Postila

Postila is an EPUB and PDF reader built around one idea: the margin of the page is where thinking happens. Your notes do not float in a popup or hide in a list. They sit in a margin aligned beside the text, anchored to the exact passage you were reading. Scroll the book and the notes move with it. Come back a year later and see precisely what you thought, and where. WRITE THE WAY YOU THINK • Handwrite notes with Apple Pencil directly in the margin • Or type them with the keyboard when you are on the move • Mix both on the same page • Every note stays attached to its passage, even when the layout changes MADE FOR REAL READING • Open EPUB and PDF files from Files, iCloud Drive, AirDrop or any other app • Clean, distraction-free reading with adjustable text size, themes and spacing • Resume exactly where you stopped • Search inside the book and jump between your notes BUILT FOR EVERY SCREEN • iPhone: a compact margin that slides in when you need it • iPad: a wide, always-visible margin beside the page, ideal with Apple Pencil • iPhone Duo and other dual-screen layouts: text on one side, notes on the other YOUR NOTES BELONG TO YOU • Export all your notes to Markdown, with the quoted passage and your comment • Send them to Obsidian, Notion, Bear or any notes app • Sync notes, bookmarks and reading positions across your devices with iCloud. Your books stay on each device, so import a book once on every device • No account, no sign-up, no tracking of what you read FREE, WITH A SIMPLE UPGRADE Postila is free and shows a small banner ad. A single one-time purchase, Remove Ads, removes the banner for good. No subscription. Perfect for students, researchers, lawyers, writers, book clubs and anyone who argues with books in the margins.
