On-device AAC. One-time $59.99 - no subscription, no account, nothing leaves your phone. Word prediction, switch scanning & emergency phrases. Folio is private text AAC for people who type to speak.

KEEP CONTROL. • On-device word prediction helps complete the message in front of you. • Private library suggestions surface phrases you chose to save. • On supported Apple Intelligence devices, Folio can offer additional replies using Apple's on-device model. • Suggestions never insert or speak themselves. You choose and can edit every word. COMMUNICATE YOUR WAY • Use Apple system voices and Personal Voice where supported. • Show a message full-screen with Big Display for noisy rooms or across a counter. • Reach a fixed emergency phrase board directly from Talk. • Organize saved phrases into categories and topic boards. • Expand abbreviations, review recent speech, and add pronunciation overrides for names or other important words. • Export a local backup file that you control. CONVERSATION MODE, ON DEVICE With your permission, Listen uses Apple's on-device speech recognition to transcribe a conversation partner and suggest possible replies. Microphone and Speech Recognition permissions are optional. If Listen is unavailable or permission is denied, typing and speaking continue to work. Folio 1.2 does not upload audio, transcripts, drafts, messages, phrase history, or suggestions to KeenShift. ACCESSIBILITY BUILT INTO COMMUNICATION Folio's own auto and step scanning covers the Talk and Emergency screens, with adjustable timing and optional spoken highlights. Select a highlighted item with a screen tap. Management screens such as Settings and phrase editing work with iOS Switch Control. Folio also supports VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, high contrast, dark appearance, large touch targets, and a Settings PIN. FREE CORE. ONE-TIME PRO. Typing, text-to-speech, Listen, Emergency, built-in scanning, library suggestions, starter phrases, 20 custom phrases, and 2 topic boards are available without Folio Pro. Folio Pro Lifetime unlocks unlimited custom phrases and boards and, on supported devices, removes the 20-per-day Apple-model suggestion limit. It is one purchase, not a subscription, and supports Family Sharing. The App Store shows your regional price before payment. Folio is a communication tool, not a medical device or emergency service. Keep an appropriate backup way to communicate or seek help. Privacy Policy: https://folio.keenshift.ai/privacy Terms of Use: https://folio.keenshift.ai/terms

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Folio now looks and behaves like one app. Speak and Listen share a single calm colour, and the emergency board deliberately stays set apart so it is still the fastest thing to find. Fixes from your reports: - Onboarding has a Back button, visible step dots, and reads “Step 2 of 3”. - The voice list no longer shows the same voice twice, and the checkmark now follows the voice you actually picked. - History records everything you say out loud — including quick phrases and the emergency board, which were previously missed. - The same phrase can no longer be added to one board twice. - Folio can now ask for a rating, but never while you are listening, scanning, speaking, or mid-conversation. Typing, speaking, prediction, switch scanning and the emergency board remain free, forever.
