MarginNote overview

MarginNote is a powerful reading and study software. By integrating the PDF/EPUB reader and multiple powerful study tools, MarginNote will enable learners to reorganize and connect knowledge from different aspects, then memorize and grasp it accordingly

Whatever your profession, such as student, educator, researcher, lawyer, or life-long learner, you may annotate and take notes through MarginNote, organize notes via Mindmap and Outline, connect knowledge horizontally via Hashtag and raise memory effect via the Flashcards

You will discover what MarginNote does is not to simply integrate these tools. Instead, it combines them deeply and skillfully, which makes it easier for users to toggle between different tools

What's new in version 4.4.0

This update brings the brand-new Immersive mode and significantly adjusts the Feedback & Customer Service and purchase and upgrade processes. We've also continued to optimize Backup & Restore, AI recall experience, multi-language support, and overall stability.

New Immersive Mode
  • Brand-new Immersive mode (Full Screen): A simplified toolbar provides a larger reading space, significantly improving screen utilization efficiency.
  • New App Icon exclusive to Immersive mode (switch in Settings, iOS only).
Optimized Recall Mode
  • AI hints added to recall mode: Supports Apple Intelligence and offline AI (requires device support), and supports expanding mind map levels on demand, helping users control the recall scope more flexibly.
  • After tapping cloze/emphasize, the content remains displayed, and all cloze/emphasize items can be unlocked sequentially for a more coherent review experience.
  • The entry to recall mode has been moved to a secondary menu within Immersive mode.
New Customer Service & Feedback Flow (Entry: MN4 Home - More - Feedback & Support)
  • Submit issues and suggestions directly to customer service within the app for quick feedback.
  • Supports attaching images.
  • Supports instant notifications for customer service replies.
  • Supports cross-platform sync of customer service records.
Purchase & Upgrade
  • New Max annual subscription purchase path, allowing new users to subscribe to Max directly. Adjusted the purchase page structure and entitlement descriptions.
Backup & Restore
  • Version Library now includes a search function, and adds version backup schedule execution notifications for easier management and confirmation of backup results.
  • Auto Backup now includes the "Include Original Documents" option. When this option is turned off, subsequent backups will no longer include local original documents, effectively saving remote storage space.
  • Optimized the deletion process for study sets and version history. When deleting a study set, you can now choose to delete its version history as well.
Other Optimizations & Fixes
  • Added Korean language support in localization.
  • Optimized Mac trackpad and scrolling experience, improving stability when browsing documents and mind maps, and reducing interference and jumping during scrolling.
  • Optimized AI workflows and network compatibility.
  • Fixed crashes and login anomalies during Google Drive backup and restore processes.
  • Fixed the issue of incorrect device display in the "Restore from Version Backup" list.
  • Fixed the issue where the content of "Full Export" did not match the selected options.
  • Continuous optimization of other experience and stability issues.
Feedback & Suggestions
  • In-app "Feedback & Support" within MN4

Version: 3.7.18
I have both iPad and Mac versions. The principle is great but the execution is not that good (The graphics are very bad and keep moving from one place to another). I settled for LiquidText. I hope the developer improves the product.
