What is being considered, and what people ask for most. Vote on what should come first, and if one of these matters to you, say why in a note. Only the person building Margin reads them. Updated 5 October 2026.

Snapshots of every note as you go. Open a version from last week, see the diff, put a paragraph back. The history lives inside the space, so a copy of the folder carries it, and the file on disk stays plain.

Write your own theme as a small set of colours and drop it in a folder, so the editor can look the way you want rather than one of the ways it ships with. Share one as a file the way you would share a note.

A detached note you can park at the edge of the screen, or tuck under the menu bar. It slides out when the cursor reaches it and slides back when you leave. Or give it a hotkey. Good for the day's todos, a burn-down list, a brain dump: the note you want one glance away all day.

A #2026-10-03 chip already tells you how far off the day is. This lets it wake you: a reminder on the date, as a nudge inside the app or a notification from the Mac, with a jump back to the line it sits on. Which of the two, or both, is the question to settle.

A #tag already marks the note it sits in, and the sidebar filters to notes. This gathers the lines as well: every line carrying the tag, each under the note it came from, so a day of journal entries comes back as entries. No ids in your text, no query language.

Ask your notes a question and get an answer drawn from them, with links to the notes it came from. Keep asking and it holds the thread, so the next question can build on the last. For the days when you know you wrote it down but not where.

A skill or a rule file is recognised for what it is: shown by its name rather than as a folder holding an Untitled note, kept under the filename the agent expects, and rendered to be read, not ticked off.

The core already runs anywhere: a folder of files, a Rust side that owns the disk, an editor in a web view. What is Mac-only is the window chrome, the quick-note agent, Quick Look and printing, and the installer. Each needs a Linux answer before this ships. No date yet.

A version that runs in a browser tab over a folder you pick, for a Mac where you cannot install apps and for everything that is not a Mac. Whether a browser can be trusted with a folder of files is the open question.
