Scan a document, edit the PDF, sign it and share it β€” without creating an account, and without a single page ever leaving your iPhone. Point your camera and Folio finds the page edges, straightens it, and captures automatically. Every scan is read on your device, so you can search your documents by the words inside them, and new scans even name themselves. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Most scanner apps make you sign in before you can scan a single page, then quietly sync your documents to their servers. Folio has no servers. β€’ Your documents never leave your iPhone β€’ No account, no sign-up, nothing to upload β€’ Even the text recognition runs on-device β€’ Lock the whole app behind Face ID SCAN ANYTHING β€’ Automatic edge detection, perspective correction and auto-capture β€’ Multi-page scanning in one go β€’ Import photos or existing PDFs β€” crop and straighten them with adjustable corners FIND IT INSTANTLY β€’ On-device text recognition makes every scan searchable β€’ Search across titles AND the text inside your documents β€’ Scans auto-name themselves from their contents A REAL PDF EDITOR (without wrecking the file) Most editors mangle a PDF the moment you touch it. Folio doesn't. Your original pages stay untouched β€” edits are layered only where you tap. β€’ Edit text in place, matched to the original font, size and colour β€’ Add text anywhere, highlight, and whiteout β€’ Sign and draw with your finger β€’ Everything stays sharp and true to the original ORGANISE EFFORTLESSLY β€’ Colour-tinted folders β€” just drag a document in to file it β€’ Favourites, rename, reorder and delete pages β€’ A clean, beautiful library SHARE YOUR WAY β€’ Export as a PDF, as images, or as plain text β€’ Send to any app in a tap MADE FOR Receipts and expense claims. Contracts you need to sign and send back today. ID cards and passports. Whiteboards before someone wipes them. Book pages, lecture notes, forms and homework.
