For iPad

Notes without margins.

A handwriting-first workspace. Real ink, live objects, side-by-side panes, and private sync — on a canvas that never runs out of space.

✍︎Write something — it's a real canvas
The essentials

Try the four things that matter.

Every section below is a real, working miniature of the app. Draw, drag, split, and sync — right here in your browser.

01 — Core

Ink that feels like ink.

Every stroke runs through a custom engine. Velocity shapes the line — slow down for weight, speed up for delicacy — just like a real pen.

Switch between pen, pencil, marker, and highlighter. Each carries its own texture and color.

Pick a tool & color, then draw on the page
02 — Canvas

More than ink on the page.

Drop live objects straight onto the canvas — web clips, YouTube videos, maps, and function plots — then arrange them however you think.

Every object is a first-class citizen: drag it, resize it, lasso it, move it between pages.

Drag the live objects around the page
03 — Multitasking

Two views, one tap away.

Split the screen to keep a reference open while you write. Browse your library on one side, or mirror the same note to follow a long page from two places at once.

Drag the divider to balance the split. No app-switching, no losing your place.

04 — Privacy

Private by default. Synced by your iCloud.

No account. No Marginless servers. Your notes live on your devices and sync through your own iCloud — so the same note shows up on every iPad you own, and nowhere else.

Write on one, pick up on another. We never see a word.

More power

The tools you reach for daily.

A deeper toolkit sitting one tap away — for selecting, styling, typesetting, and working after dark.

Selection

Lasso with layers

Circle anything — ink, text, objects — then move, restyle, or reorder it. Bring strokes forward or send objects behind.

Precision

Shape detection

Sketch a rough circle, box, arrow, or polygon and Marginless snaps it to a crisp, editable shape.

Setup

Custom styles & templates

Ruled, dot-grid, blank, or your own paper — per page. Set the size, spacing, and template once, reuse it forever.

B I U
Typing

Rich-text editor

Drop a text box anywhere — bold, italic, color, and lists live right alongside your ink.

e +1=0
Typesetting

LaTeX editor

Compose beautifully typeset math inline — from a quick fraction to a full proof — with a live preview and symbol palette.

Appearance

Dark mode

A system-matched dark library that's easy on the eyes — switch it any time from Settings.

Finishing touches

The little things, done right.

Scroll to add pages

Reach the bottom and the next page is already there. The canvas never runs out.

Cross-page object drag

Pick up an image, plot, or text box and carry it to another page in one motion.

Undo / redo, instantly

Two-finger tap to undo, three to redo — every stroke and action, reversible.

Folders within folders

Group notes into folders — and nest folders inside folders, as deep as you need.

Sort & filter

Order and filter your whole library by name or date — ascending or descending.

Any color, any HEX

Pick from a full-spectrum wheel or type an exact HEX code — unlimited ink colors.

Support

Questions, answered.

Browse the FAQ below, or reach out directly — we read every message.

Marginless requires an iPad running iPadOS 16 or later. It is optimised for iPad Pro (all sizes), iPad Air, and the standard iPad. For the best experience — including Apple Pencil drawing — we recommend a Pencil-compatible iPad running the latest iPadOS.
Yes — Marginless is built around Apple Pencil. Pressure-sensitive strokes, palm rejection, and the custom ink engine are all designed for Pencil input. Finger drawing is also fully supported for quick sketches.
Plenty. Drop in typed text boxes with rich formatting, sketch a rough shape and let Marginless snap it to a crisp one, typeset equations with the built-in LaTeX editor, and embed images, web clips, YouTube videos, maps, and function plots. Every object can be moved, resized, lassoed, and carried between pages just like ink.
Yes. Tap the + button in the library and choose "Import PDF". The PDF opens as a note where you can mark up every page with the full toolset — pen, pencil, brush, marker, highlighter, and eraser — plus add text, shapes, and objects anywhere on the page.
Yes. Marginless reads your handwriting on-device and makes it fully searchable — find a word across your whole library from the search bar or even from Spotlight, with matches highlighted right on the page. The recognition happens entirely on your iPad; nothing is sent to a server.
Sort notes into folders — and folders within folders, as deep as you like. Star favorites, sort the library by name or date, and use full-text search (handwriting included) to jump to anything in seconds.
Tap the title at the top of a note to split the screen. One side can browse your whole library so you can pull up a reference, or you can mirror the same note to follow a long page from two places at once. Drag the divider to balance the split — no app-switching, no losing your place.
Your notes sync across your own iPads through your private Apple iCloud account — there's no separate account to create, and nothing passes through Marginless servers. Turn it on in iOS Settings and the same note appears on every iPad you own. Dedicated Mac and iPhone apps are still on our roadmap.
Export any note as a PDF from the share sheet. Your notes also sync across your own iPads through your private iCloud (turn it on in Settings) and are included in your device's iCloud Backup — so you're covered even if you switch iPads.
Never. Marginless is a one-time purchase — see the pricing above: $4.99 for early supporters, $9.99 standard, paid once.
