A home for the books you read.
Folio keeps the books you've read, the passages you saved, and the reviews you wrote. All in one place, and all your own.
Your library
Every book has its place: Reading, On the Shelf, Finished, or Set Aside. Add a title by searching for it or scanning the barcode, and it shows up with its cover. Open Folio and pick up right where you left off.
Quotes and notes
Found a line worth keeping? Point your camera at the page and Folio pulls the words off it. Note the page, mark who said it, and the passage joins the rest of what you've collected. Snap the line and keep reading.
More than stars
Rate the prose, the characters, the pacing, or make up your own categories. Write the kind of review that actually sounds like you, not a row of stars and a shrug.
Pass a good book
Turn a book into a card worth sending, or share a link that drops it straight into a friend's Folio with one tap. The good ones are meant to travel.
Privacy first
No social feed, no social anxiety. Your books, quotes, notes, and reviews live on your devices and in your own iCloud, synced privately between them. There's no Folio account, and nothing we can see. You decide what to share, if anything at all.
Always yours, always safe
Your library syncs through your own iCloud, so it's safe even when your phone isn't. Get a new iPhone or reinstall Folio, and everything's right where you left it. Nothing to set up, nothing to remember.
Folio is for readers who'd rather keep their reading close and private.
Clean and elegant. This keeps all my thoughts and notes organized. On top of that it looks so good! It has everything I didn’t know I was missing from other apps
HOME
Home now keeps your place. A thin line beneath the book shows how far you’ve come, and a tap on it moves your bookmark. Your latest passage sits underneath, with as much of it as your screen has room for; tap it to read the whole thing. Add a passage or capture one from the page without leaving Home.
THE TIMELINE
Open any book, from Home or your Library, and its page now tells the story of your reading: when you added it, the day you started, the passages you kept, the days you read, how much you read, and the day you finished. Swipe back through it, or open View All to read it from the beginning.
THE READING ARC
A small arc beside your progress opens it, from Home or from any book.
PASSAGES
Open any passage to see it whole, with your note, and every other passage from that book one tap away.
LIBRARY
Each room remembers how you last sorted it, so Finished can stay on your highest rated while Reading keeps your own order.
WIDGETS
The widget always shows the same book as Home, and a tap takes you straight there.
And a handful of small repairs.
