Why we made it

When a book is open, the book is the interface.

Folio gets out of the way of reading: chrome hides while you read, type and layout tune from quick controls down to fine detail, and your place holds steady when settings change. Behind the calm surface sits a serious library — thousands of books in collections with metadata editing, duplicate finding, and full-text search — while your originals are never modified and syncing stays optional. It is not released yet; this page will carry store links when it ships.

Built for: iPhone + iPad + Mac
Designed around: Your books stay yours
