FAQ
Things people ask us.
Still curious? We read every email — usually within a day.
Is Margin really free?
Yes. Writing, prompts, reminders, mood check-ins and year in pixels are free forever — no trial, no ads. Plus adds voice, Echo and unlimited media.
Who can read my journal?
Only you. Entries are end-to-end encrypted with keys that live on your devices. We can’t read them, and we never use them to train AI.
What happens if I miss a day?
Nothing dramatic. No broken-streak alarms, no guilt. Margin simply offers tonight’s prompt again whenever you’re ready.
Does it work offline?
Completely. Write on a plane or in a cabin — everything syncs quietly the next time you’re online.
Can I export my entries?
Anytime. Export to PDF, Markdown or plain text, with photos included. Your writing is yours to take with you.
Is there an Android and iPad version?
Yes — iPhone, iPad, Android and a web companion are all included, and your entries sync between them.
