## What is Folio?

Folio is a fast, private home for your notes — with a twist: pin a note to your Lock Screen as a Live Activity so it stays in sight until you're done with it.

CAPTURE INSTANTLY
• Quick-add bar for jotting a thought in seconds
• Full Markdown editing with live formatting
• Checklists, headings, bold, and more
• Attach photos and files to any note
• Unlimited notes, always free

FOLIO PRO
• Folders to keep projects and topics organized
• iCloud sync keeps every note current across your devices
• Enhance with AI rewrites your notes for clarity — entirely on-device
• Pin as many notes to your Lock Screen as you like
• One-time purchase. No subscription, ever.

PIN, REMIND & SHARE
• Pin one note to your Lock Screen so it stays in view
• Reminders on any note, scheduled on your device
• Share individual notes with people you choose — only invitees can see them

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No accounts, no ads — we never see your notes
• Enhance with AI runs entirely on your device using Apple Intelligence — nothing about your notes is ever sent anywhere
• Your notes stay on your device except through your own iCloud (Folio Pro) or when you choose to share one
• Folio sends anonymous usage analytics — like app opens and which features you use — to help us improve it. It's on by default and never includes your notes, photos, or anything you write; turn it off anytime in Settings, which also deletes what was already collected

Folio is for people who want a notes app that's quick, beautiful, and quietly respectful of their data.
