MARGIN EDITIONS / Nº 01

The art of
noticing

Small observations.
A little room to think.

01

A book, waiting where
the scroll used to be.

Attention, on your terms

You don’t need another
thing to keep up with.

You need a small opening. A minute before bed. A pause between things. Somewhere your thumb can land that leaves you with a little more than you came for.

Margin is a reading room in your pocket. Bring a book you own, paste something worth reading, or begin with a short original passage. Then stop when you’ve had enough.

Quiet by design. Yours by choice.

A small ritual, not a new routine

From impulse
to a little intention.

01

Make a little room.

Choose a minute, five, or twenty. Begin with what you have. There’s no perfect reading day to wait for.

02

Stay with a page.

Read in Margin, or put your phone down with a real book. A simple timer keeps the moment finite.

03

Keep what stays.

A sentence. A thought. Something you noticed. Your private reading record grows, little by little.

Margin records reading sessions. It doesn’t monitor or block other apps.

There’s nothing else
to catch up on here.

A clear stopping point. No streak to protect.
The rest of your day is yours.

A little room, a fair price

Free to begin.
Yours to keep.

A few things
you might wonder.

Can I read my own books?

Yes. Add a physical book or e-reader title and use Margin as your timer, or paste text you own or have permission to use. Margin doesn’t include a commercial ebook catalog or EPUB/PDF import.

Will Margin block my other apps?

No. Margin gives you a place to choose reading. Move it to your Home Screen where your usual feed sits, or create a Shortcuts automation using margin://read.

What happens to my notes?

Your books and thoughts stay in the app’s local storage on your device. No account or reading analytics. You can export or erase your data at any time. Device backups follow your Apple settings.

Do I need Apple Intelligence?

No. All core reading features work without it. On supported devices, an optional on-device model can offer a reflection question about what you just read. A standard question is always available.

Where can I download it?

Margin is available now on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. Download Margin on the App Store, or try a short reading on this page first.

The art of noticing

Before you reach for more, look at what is already here. A square of sunlight on the floor. The weight of the book in your hands. A sound you had stopped hearing because it was always there.

Attention is an ordinary thing until you choose where to put it. Then an ordinary moment becomes particular: this room, this afternoon, this sentence.
