Margin

Your browser can't show the 3D device. Everything on this page still works as text.

Pocket-sized paper that remembers.

Write, read, map and plan on e-ink. No glow, no feeds, weeks between charges.

It isn't a tablet.

Nothing lights up, buzzes or asks for your attention.

It's paper that remembers.

Everything you write is searchable, backed up, and on your laptop by the time you sit down.

  1. Write

    Field notes, meeting notes, lists. Handwriting is searchable the moment you lift the pen.

  2. Read

    Books and PDFs set in type made for reading on e-ink. Turn pages with a tap or the edge button.

  3. Map

    Topographic maps stored offline. Mark a trail with the pen and it's there when you're back in signal.

  4. Plan

    A week on one page, synced with your calendar. Write over it like paper.

The pen never needs charging.

It docks on the edge with magnets and draws power from the screen as you write. There's no lag you can see.

Pressure, tilt, and a little texture.

The glass is etched so the nib has something to grip, like a fine paper.

Seven layers. 6.9 millimetres.

Every part is chosen to disappear when you write.

6weeks on one charge

E-ink only uses power when the page changes. Write every day and charge it about once a season.

And when it's asleep, the last page stays on the screen, using no power at all.

Three finishes. One pen to match.

Graphite. Bead-blasted aluminium, anodised dark.

Margin.

Paper, kept. Be first to hold one.

Margin is a design concept. The device, its specifications and this waitlist are not real, and the form sends nothing. Device rendered live in WebGL from geometry made for this page.
