Frequently asked questions
Are my notes private?
Yes. Notes are encrypted on your device before they are synced, and only you hold the key. We cannot read them.
Can I use it on several devices?
Your notebook follows you across phone, tablet and desktop. Changes appear everywhere within seconds.
What about exporting?
Export any note or the whole notebook as plain text, Markdown or PDF at any time. Your words stay yours.
About Margin
A notes app should be as quick as a paper notebook and as searchable as a database. Everything else is optional. We keep the editor plain and fast, store notes as text you could open anywhere, and encrypt them before they ever leave your device. Tags and pins replace folder trees, search does the organising, and export is always one tap away because your writing should never be locked into a format.
What you get

Your data lives in your account and can be exported or deleted in full whenever you decide.
