MarginNote 5

Handwriting

Write wherever the thought lands.

On the page, on the mind map, in the margin space, on the question card — write directly. It is what our users praise most often.

Write on the page

Annotate and mark up PDF pages by hand, just like a paper book.

Write on the mind map

Work out derivations and draw relationships on the canvas; ink moves with the map when it re-lays out.

Extended Note

Long-press anywhere on a page to open writing space — inline, in the margin, or folded away.

Ink layers

Switch handwriting layers on the same page, so a second pass isn’t cluttered by the first.

Notebooks

Endless paper that isn’t tied to a page, in several paper styles, for summaries and review.

Full-card handwriting NEW IN MN5

Answer on the whole question card, even during review; your notes fold back onto the card.

“I have been waiting to find a way to read e-books and annotate them directly on my ipad, as in - not type notes, write and draw on pages - in an app that shows the book's table of contents.”
