Folio, a minimal notebook
Rich text, Pencil & backlinks
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A calm, paper-inspired notes app that's genuinely powerful — rich text, Apple Pencil, wiki-links, smart folders, version history, and 9 themes. iPhone, iPad, Mac & Watch.
Folio is a notes app that refuses to choose between beautiful and capable.
On the surface it's a calm, paper-inspired place to write. Underneath is a serious tool: backlinks, smart folders, version history, and biometric locking — the kind of power usually reserved for heavier apps.
A LOVELY PLACE TO WRITE
• Rich text: headings, lists, checklists, highlights, quotes, and code
• Inline images and re-editable Apple Pencil sketches
• A "/" command menu and Markdown shortcuts
ORGANIZED YOUR WAY
• Nestable folders and cross-cutting tags
• Wiki-style [[links]] with automatic backlinks
• Smart folders that save any search as a live view
• Ranked search that finds what you mean
NEVER LOSE A WORD
• Automatic version history with one-tap restore
• Pin, archive, and a 30-day recoverable trash
• "On This Day" resurfaces past notes
MADE YOURS
• 9 fully-designed themes — Paper, Leather, Blueprint, Terminal, Bauhaus, and more
• Adjustable fonts, text size, and light/dark
EVERYWHERE
• iPhone, iPad, native Mac (with a menu-bar capture popover), and Apple Watch
• A Recent Notes widget and Siri Shortcuts
• Face ID locking for private notes
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your notes sync through your own iCloud and stay on your devices. No accounts, no ads, no trackers — free.
