What is Ad Marginem

Ad Marginem is a local-first research workspace built around marginalia: highlights, sticky notes, drawings, citations. Your library lives on your devices first; sync is an opt-in feature that handles conflicts surgically rather than silently.

These docs cover installation, daily workflows, citation styling, sync troubleshooting, and migration from other tools.

Where to start

  • New here? Pick your platform under Quickstart.
  • Coming from Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, or Paperpile? The Migration section walks through each.
  • Need keyboard shortcuts or sync diagnostics? Reference has both.
