A real paper planner paired with an app made to read it. You write by hand in the book, then snap the page. Folio turns your handwriting into calendar events and a journal, so you get the feel of paper and the convenience of digital without entering anything twice.

Yes. The Single Volume is a one-time $58 purchase: one six-month book plus the full app with sync for those six months. If you love it, the $96/year membership adds a new volume every six months and always-on sync, and saves you $20 a year. Every plan is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

A new printed volume mailed to you every six months, plus always-on digital sync all year and the full app. The app is a free download that unlocks once you sign in. Membership is purchased here on the web, not in the app.

Apple Calendar on iPhone at launch. Tasks can go to Apple Reminders and reflections to your private journal. Google Calendar and Outlook are coming soon, but are not available yet.

Page photos are processed to extract your text, then discarded. They are never stored or used to train any AI model. Your recognized notes and journal live in your account, encrypted in transit and at rest. Calendar access only adds events you approve, it never reads your existing calendar.

Open Folio, tap scan, and frame the page so the four corner marks are visible. The app straightens the page, reads the printed code to know the date and layout, then recognizes your handwriting. You review everything before it saves.

We are running a small Founders’ Beta from August to December 2026, a five-month pilot for early testers. The first full public edition, Volume One, goes on sale in December 2026 and covers January to June 2027. Join the beta list and we will invite you to the beta first, then to the full edition.

Yes. At the end of each month Folio writes a Month-in-review, and at the end of a volume a Volume-in-review, short recaps drawn from your own scanned pages: what you did, how you felt, patterns worth noticing. It is your handwriting, read back to you.
