Folio timed reading session Folio personal book library

A home for your reading life

More memory than metric.

Folio helps you keep track of what you read and what you want to remember. The numbers are there when useful; your experience stays at the center.

01

Your library, organized

Keep current, finished, and future books together with progress that is easy to update.

02

Reading sessions

Time a session when you want to build a habit, then keep a record of the pages and time you gave it.

03

Patterns worth keeping

Review your reading history and statistics while your journal remains personal.

Before you settle in

Your reading stays yours.

Folio is free to download. Start a small private library and record real reading sessions before deciding whether Pro fits your reading life.

Is Folio a social reading app?

No. There is no public feed, follower count, or social profile. Folio is designed as a private reading journal.

What can I use for free?

Build a library of up to 10 books, track progress, run reading sessions, and keep a personal rating and review for each book.

What does Folio Pro add?

Unlimited books, reading notes and highlights, complete statistics, annual challenges, ambient sounds, share cards, and CSV export.

Is Folio Pro a subscription?

You can choose an annual plan or a one-time lifetime purchase. Current local pricing appears in the app before you buy.

Do I need to create an account?

No Folio account is required. Your journal remains private and is stored on your device.

Give your reading a place to stay.

Start with the private reading journal guide, or try Folio free. Optional upgrades are available inside the app.

If you are choosing a system, compare a reading tracker and a reading journal before deciding what to record.

For a lightweight habit, follow the guide to tracking reading time and pages on iPhone.

After closing the book, use the one-minute guide to record a stopping point, one thought, and a return thread.

Before trusting any app with a long-term reading history, use the checklist for choosing a private tracker with no social feed.
