About

Folo Docs

Features
Read full description

Your important documents — bills, bank statements, insurance policies, IDs, school letters — end up scattered across email, downloads and a drawer somewhere. Folo gives them one calm, private home and hands you the right one the moment you need it. Scan it, share it from any app, or forward it to your own Folo Mail address. Folo reads it on your iPhone, files it, and makes it searchable. NOTHING LAPSES QUIETLY Coming Up lists everything that expires — car registration, insurance, passport — soonest first, with a reminder two weeks ahead. ASK YOUR DOCUMENTS Ask "how much did I spend on electricity last year?" and get the answer with the documents cited. Turn it into a PDF report. FIND ANYTHING IN SECONDS Search what a document says, not its filename — "car insurance", "passport", "December payslip". SCAN, SIGN AND REDACT Capture paper with your camera, sign and fill PDFs, and black out sensitive details with true redaction — the data is removed, not just covered. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your documents are ordinary files in your own iCloud, not on our servers. Text is read on your device, and on devices with Apple Intelligence, Folo summarises and dates new documents on your iPhone, free. Cloud AI runs only when you ask. PRICING Free to scan, import, search and organise. Folo (one-time purchase) adds signing, redaction, Folo Mail and AI with your own API key. Folo+ (subscription, 14-day free trial) adds AI with nothing to set up. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Mononote helps you focus on one note at a time. Simply open the app and write down anything you want your future self to remember, whether it's a to-do, reminder, or motivational note. Keep it visible on your Home Screen with a widget, or start a Live Activity to pin it to your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island when it's something more urgent. The app is intentionally simple, showing only one active note at a time. Archive or delete it when you're done, and a new blank note is ready for whatever comes next. Archived notes can always be restored if you need them again.
