Folio turns anything you need to keep track of into a notebook you can actually use: groceries and errands, bills and subscriptions, medication and habits, books to read. Over 30 ready-made templates, each with its own fields, statuses and reminders — and every screen works perfectly with Siri and VoiceOver. READY-MADE TEMPLATES • Finance: Payments, Expenses, Subscriptions, Debt/Credit • Content: To Read, To Watch, To Listen • Special Days & Travel: Birthdays, Places to Go, Packing • Routines: Habits, Chores, Maintenance, Plant Care, Pet Care, Exercise • Processes: Applications, Project Tracking, Awaiting, Orders, Loans • Personal Tracking: Inventory, Meal Plan, Courses, Goals, Attendance, Vaccinations • Shopping, To-Do, and a completely blank notebook to start from scratch HANDS-FREE WITH SIRI • "Add to Folio": Siri asks which notebook and what to add, then keeps going with "Anything else?". • "What's on tomorrow in Folio", "What's next in Folio", "What did I do yesterday in Folio". • "When did I last do it in Folio" — perfect for medication, watering plants or feeding pets. • "Read what's left in Folio": long lists are read five at a time. • Every command is listed in Settings > Siri & Shortcuts > All Siri commands. 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. Your first 2 notebooks are free forever, fully editable — no payment info, no time limit. Need more? Unlock unlimited notebooks, custom templates, folders, and full JSON backup with monthly, yearly, or one-time Lifetime Folio Pro; plain text and CSV export are always free.
