Capture without deciding
A note lands in one inbox. You do not name a folder, choose a tag, or commit to a structure. Decisions can come later, or never.
Issue 01 · A field guide to the second brain
Think on paper.
Find it years later.
Marginalia is a quiet place to collect what you read and think, then surface it the moment a question forms.
Three moves, no system to maintain.
Connect without filing
Links form from the words you already wrote. A note about habits finds the note about decisions without you placing it there.
Recall without remembering
Ask a question in the language you think in. Marginalia gathers the relevant pages and shows the thread between them.
The second brain is not a vault. It is a working surface.
“I stopped searching for the note I knew I had. Marginalia hands me the five I forgot I needed.”
