## What is Folio?

Spare minutes, well-read.

Folio turns the world's greatest literature into calm, beautifully narrated audio you can finish in a single quiet moment — about eight minutes per classic. A commute, a coffee, the walk home. That's all it takes to spend time with Tolstoy, Austen, Dostoevsky, Poe, or Homer.

A NEW CLASSIC, FREE EVERY DAY
Every day you can listen to one classic, completely free — your choice from the whole library. No account, no sign-up, no clutter. Just open the app and press play.

WHY FOLIO
• The great books, distilled — each work narrated and complete in about eight minutes, never rushed.
• Nearly a hundred classics, from Pride and Prejudice to The Odyssey, Crime and Punishment to The Great Gatsby.
• Read-along transcripts that highlight each line as it's spoken, Apple-Music style.
• A warm, clear narrator — male or female voice, your choice.
• Adjustable speed and a sleep timer for winding down.
• Beautiful, distraction-free design in indigo and gold.
• Keep listening with the screen locked — perfect for commutes and walks.

BROWSE BY GENRE OR AUTHOR
