## What is Folio?

You tour five colleges in three days and by the end they blur together. Which one had the dining hall you liked? Where did the tour guide say the thing that stuck?

Folio is a journal for college visits. Rate a campus while you're standing on it, write down what you actually noticed, and keep it somewhere you can compare later.


TWELVE THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING

Each visit walks through twelve prompts, in the order a real tour unfolds — First Impression, The Tour, Academics, Housing & Campus Life, Dining, Social Scene, Athletics & Spirit, Location & Surroundings, Cost & Value, Career & Future, The Feeling, and Final Verdict.

Rate each one out of five, write as much or as little as you want, and add photos from the day.

Every card is optional. Skip what doesn't apply — a category you didn't rate never drags your score down.


SEE YOUR OWN PATTERNS

Rate a few schools and Folio starts showing you things you never said out loud.

A radar chart compares up to three colleges side by side across five dimensions. "What You Look For" averages your ratings across every visit to show which parts of a campus you actually care about — and which one you're toughest on.


PLAN WHAT'S NEXT

Save upcoming visits to a calendar and get a reminder the evening before and the morning of, so you're not scrambling. Keep a wishlist of schools you're curious about but haven't seen yet.


TAKE IT WITH YOU

Export everything as a document you can print, email, or bring to a meeting with your counselor or your parents. Your notes are more useful in the room where the decision gets made.


SEARCH ANY U.S. COLLEGE

Search runs against the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard, so you get real enrollment numbers, acceptance rates, tuition, and campus setting for schools across the country.


YOUR NOTES STAY YOURS

Your reviews, ratings, and written notes are stored on your device, not on a server. No ads. No tracking. No analytics of any kind.

Because your journals live on your phone, use Export My Data now and then to keep a copy somewhere safe.


FOLIO PREMIUM

Free includes 3 colleges, 3 planned visits, 10 wishlist saves, and 10 photos per college.

Premium removes those limits — unlimited colleges, planned visits, and wishlist saves, 25 photos per college, and PDF export.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
