Foliant is a reader for people who read a lot, and for a long time. Books are typeset by its own engine, so a page looks the way a typesetter would set it — not like a web page.
LIKE PRINT
• Hyphenation and justified text — without rivers of spaces.
• Footnotes at the bottom of the page, as in a printed book. A long footnote continues on the next page.
• Images, tables and poems keep the look the book gives them.
• Lines are never cut by the screen edge: a page holds only whole lines.
TURN PAGES YOUR WAY
• Tap, swipe or use the volume buttons.
• Page turn effects: page peel or slide. Or none at all.
• Scroll reading with auto-scroll — change the speed on the go.
• Adjust brightness with a gesture at the screen edge.
SERIES AND SHELVES
• Books of a series gather on their own shelf, in order.
• Finished a volume? The next one is already prepared — it opens with a page turn, no trip back to the library.
• Your own shelves, “read” marks, ratings and thoughts about a book.
• Recently added books wait at the top of the library.
EVERYTHING AT HAND
• Table of contents with progress by chapter.
• Bookmarks, quotes and notes tied to a place in the book.
• Search in a book and across the whole library.
• Translate a selection and look words up in the system dictionary.
MAKE IT YOURS
• Fonts, size, line spacing, margins and indents.
• Paper to choose from: rice, brown, beach sand, snow, night and more — with texture or a solid color.
• Reading indicator at the top or bottom: chapter, pages, clock.
• Give any book its own settings.
BOOKS FROM ANYWHERE
• Add books from Files, via Share (several at once) or from zip archives.
• Book covers appear right in the Files app.
• OPDS catalogs and WebDAV servers.
• Sync your reading position with KOReader and other readers via KOSync.
• “Continue reading” widget on the Home Screen.
NO TRACKING
No ads, analytics or sign-up. Your books and notes stay on your device; the app only connects to servers you add yourself.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Quick settings right in the book: the «aA» button opens a panel with background, text size, alignment and page turning. «More» adds font, line height, margins, hyphenation, page animation and «Keep screen on». Changes show on the text right away.
iPhone Duo support: buttons sit in system bars on the side, like in Apple's own apps. Unfold the phone in landscape for a two-page spread on either side of the fold.
When you add a book that's already in your library, Foliant asks about each one, including books from catalogs.
A book from a catalog lands on its series shelf right away.
A long press selects the whole word, not just a syllable.
Headings no longer break with a hyphen, and stray lines at chapter starts are gone.
Search finds «i.e.» and full names where the book uses non-breaking spaces.
Old EPUBs in Windows-1251 no longer show garbled text.
Pausing read-aloud stays paused after a phone call.
Moving settings to another phone keeps the books already there.
Reader buttons have VoiceOver labels.
