A live recreation of the Margin overlay. Examples for illustration.

The problem

Apple Notes is where notes go to die.

You write things down and never see them again. Four reasons why.

You can’t find anything.

Apple Notes search matches exact words, not meaning. You know the note is in there. You just can’t find it.

No way to see how things connect.

Hundreds of notes, zero links between them. The ideas that belong together never meet.

You can’t act on them.

A note full of tasks, dates, and people just sits there. Nothing becomes a reminder, an event, or a next step.

Apple Intelligence only rewrites.

It polishes the sentence in front of you. It can’t reason across your notes or do anything with them.

Works with your stack

Made for people who live in Apple Notes.

Margin isn’t another app to migrate to. It works on top of the Notes, Reminders, and Calendar you already use, and finally makes them talk to each other.

Apple Notes app icon

Apple Notes

Reads and understands every note you’ve written, going back years.

Reminders app icon

Reminders

Turns what you wrote into reminders, so nothing slips through.

Calendar app icon

Calendar

Pulls the dates out of your notes and puts them on your calendar.

Nothing to import or move. Your notes stay exactly where they are.

What it’s for

Your notes, finally working for you.

Find the note you can’t find.

Search the way you remember, not by keyword. Ask “where did I write about the visa paperwork?” and Margin surfaces it, even if you never used those words.

Connect the dots across everything.

Margin reads the whole picture, not one page. It pulls ideas scattered across hundreds of notes into a single, straight answer.

Stop paying the copy-paste tax.

No more shuttling text into a chatbot and re-explaining the context every time. Margin is already there, already reading what’s in front of you.

Turn notes into a first draft.

Hand it the scattered thoughts you already wrote and get back a draft grounded in your own words, not a stranger’s.

The moment

It was already reading. Just ask.

What did I decide here?

You chose the 12-month lease at $2,400. The early-exit clause on the short one sealed it.

From this note · Mar 3

01

It’s already reading

Margin lives at the edge of your screen, quietly aware of the note, page, or doc in front of you. Nothing to copy, nothing to paste.

02

One keystroke

Press ⌘⇧Space anywhere. A frosted panel slides in from the margin, already holding the context of what you were looking at.

03

Think together

Ask anything. Margin reasons across your notes with a frontier-grade mind and answers from your own knowledge, then gets out of the way.

Agent, not feature

It acts on your context (answers, connects, drafts) instead of just autocompleting the line you’re on.

One key, everywhere

Summoned with ⌘⇧Space over any app and dismissed in an instant. It lives in the margin, never in your way.

Your context, kept close

Margin reads what you choose to show it and reasons privately. Your notes are yours, local-first by design.

Why “Margin”

For centuries, the smartest readers thought in the margins.

Newton, Fermat, da Vinci: their breakthroughs weren't in the body text. They were scribbled in the margin, where reading turns into thinking. Marginalia is the oldest form of a second brain.

Then notes went digital, and the margin disappeared. Today most of us keep years of notes that quietly go to die, a graveyard we never reopen. Apple put AI in there, but it only sharpens the pen: rewrite this, summarize that, fix the grammar. It makes the tombstones prettier.

Margin brings the margin back. It doesn't polish your sentences. It thinks alongside them.

Bring your notes
back to life.
