Mobile app

A native iOS and Android app for Folio: read, annotate, and write on the go.

The idea

Native mobile apps for iOS and Android. The core use cases for mobile: reading sources on the go, reviewing and commenting on documents, adding sources you just found, and light editing. The AI features (Research & start, Scholar AI, Document Audit, Proofread) would be available on mobile with the same plan limits as the web app.

Why it matters

Research doesn't only happen at a desk. You find a paper on the bus. You want to review a draft before a meeting. You need to add a source your advisor just emailed you. A native app makes these small, frequent interactions fast and frictionless.

Where we are

Not available yet. Mobile shares its foundation with the desktop app: the secure sign-in a native app needs is built and switched off until an app ships. In the meantime, Folio runs in your phone's browser, and the editor, library and dashboard are laid out for small screens. When we do build mobile, it won't be a stripped-down companion app; it'll be a real tool you can do meaningful work in.

Upvote this if it's on your wishlist. It helps us prioritize.
