Core Folio is a private place to hold your own life. Not a feed, not a to-do list, not somewhere to perform. Somewhere to keep the people you care about, the plans still taking shape, and the details that don't belong anywhere else. PEOPLE Everyone who matters, and how you're actually doing with them. Birthdays you'd rather not miss. Gifts thought of months early. A family tree that draws itself from what you've already written down. PIPS The plans, ideas, projects and events still taking root — held loosely, before they're ready to be anything. CORE The parts a whole life sits in: beliefs, career, culture, family, food, health, goals. Each folio exactly as full as it really is. CORA Ask about your own life and get a real answer. Cora only knows what you've told her. QUIET BY DESIGN No notifications badgering you. No streaks to keep. No one else can see any of it. TERMS Subscriptions renew unless cancelled.
