## What is 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.
