DESIGN IT YOUR WAY • Customize each notebook's fields, statuses, and order with the Field Designer. • Build your own templates, then use or remove them from the template picker. • Organize notebooks into folders, pin the ones that matter most. DATES, REMINDERS & RECURRENCE • Add a date, time, and reminder to any item. • Set daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or completion-based recurrence rules. • Overdue items automatically surface to the top. FULL VOICEOVER SUPPORT • Folio was designed from day one for VoiceOver users — every screen and action is announced clearly. • Status changes, delete/undo, and list updates are announced instantly. • Haptic and sound feedback are fully customizable in Settings. HISTORY & ARCHIVE • Save a snapshot of completed lists to history and review them anytime. • Deleted notebooks and items wait in Trash for a while before you decide. ICLOUD SYNC, NO ACCOUNT NEEDED • Folio doesn't ask you to create an account — it just uses the iCloud account already on your device. • Your notebooks sync automatically across your devices; nothing is stored on Folio's own servers.
