WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“LOVE this app! so easy to import data from goodreads. it excels where others fail. like letterboxd for books. Really glad there’s finally a good book app out there, i’ve been waiting for something like this!” — scruffythejanitor01
“I love the UI of this app, easy to use and aesthetically pleasing. Also, I've been struggling getting back into reading and the screentime feature has helped me loads. I haven't been able to read this much since 4 years ago. Thank you Margins” — mitakaluvr
“The search by vibes is so cool. I am a WWII buff, but this search popped up a two-book WWII saga I had never even heard of, much less read. It ended up being my top read of 2025.” —Michigancolt

“Without the margins, writing is just words on a page. But with them, each of us is invited to leave our mark in the endless conversation between books and the people that love them.” — Excerpt from the Margins manifesto
Margins is soo well done and organised that u dont get lost using the app, u can add books that u want to read and u can add ur friends to see their progress. Me and my friend love it, and it also helps u focus by locking all ur apps when ur reading. I used to find it difficult to read and i wasnt much of a reader but now i try to find any free time just to read so i get to use the app and add my progress and that makes me feel like i’ve become one of the book girlies. Good job to the creators
Love!
