04 · THE LIBRARY
Marginalia are notes, marks, and drawings made in the margins of a text. A question, a pointing hand, or a brief disagreement can make reading an active conversation. This studio translates that practice into a personal manuscript you can revisit.
The snail asks, the fox disagrees, and the moth remembers. These are our own creative symbols, not a historical code. You choose the mood; no AI interprets your private notes. Try one short passage and write what changed since your last reading.
Write a passage and its source. Add a thought in the margin and choose its ink. Select a manuscript edition and format. Save the reading, download a PNG, and export the JSON project so you can keep editing later.
Yes. Editing, manuscript styles, PNG downloads, and JSON backups are available without an account or payment.
The tool stores your project in this browser’s local storage. It does not upload your passages or annotations. There is no cloud sync: private browsing, clearing site data, or a different device may remove or hide the archive. Export JSON for a portable backup. Blogger, Google Fonts, and advertising services may process technical data under their own policies.
Use Backup JSON, then Restore on this or another device. English and Korean pages share the same local archive on this domain. Switching language keeps your own writing. A sealed future letter is a visual reminder, not encryption or a timed lock.
Use your own writing, public-domain texts, or material you have permission to reproduce. Check quotation rights before public sharing. Samples here are original fictional examples. A4 exports are 2480 × 3508 pixels, suitable for A4 at approximately 300 ppi; select A4 paper and actual size in your print application.
