I read it in school because I had to. Now I reread it because I want to.
Contains spoilers: other readers see it hidden until they tap.
Rate with half stars, write what it left you with and pick the mood and pace. The card changes with you, just like in the app.
For centuries readers have written in the margins, talked about books and passed them on. Marginalia, which means "notes in the margin", does the same from your pocket.
In Marginalia you say what you think of every book: half stars, a review and the mood and pace you read it in.
Share your ratings, reviews and favorite quotes as story-ready images. And if you want to read together, start a club.
Save them in your quotes and keep a diary of every book you finish, its date and how it felt.
Read, reading and up next, with tags only you can see and ten color palettes for the app.
Set a goal, keep your streak and watch your progress month by month. At the end of the year, your recap is ready to share.

About the app
Yes. Logging books, reviews, the yearly challenge, streaks, stats, clubs and color palettes are all free and ad-free.
First on Android, on Google Play. The iPhone version comes later; this page will announce launch day.
Yes, fully in English and Spanish. Switch languages any time in Settings.
No. What you see are your books and other readers' opinions. Nobody thinks for you.
Your books
Search by title, author or ISBN, or scan the barcode with your camera. Then mark it as reading, want to read, read or set aside.
Yes. Export your library from Goodreads and upload it in Settings. Your books, shelves and ratings come over, with no duplicates.
Marginalia groups the translations and reprints of a work, so you never see the same book ten times. On the book page you choose your edition and its cover.
Choose how many books, pages, new authors or genres you want to read this year. The app tells you if you are on track and when you would finish at your pace.
Readers and privacy
The club splits the book into sections. You only see comments on the sections you have already read.
Your profile can be public or private. If it is private, only followers you approve can see your shelf. You can also block and report.
Yes, from Settings or from the web, whenever you want. Deleting it erases all your data.
Marginalia is about to open. Save this page and come back on launch day.
