The useful things, together

Less setup in the way.
More of your own rhythm.

Your space, your settings

Start with a simple dark theme. Adjust colors, backgrounds and display names in Settings, or import a personal appearance profile. Switch back whenever you like.

Make cards in your own words

Write a Question and Answer, check the card preview, then add it to your chosen deck. Edit before saving and use Undo when you need it. Your own thinking stays at the center.

Time to focus, time for a break

Start a focus session from the dashboard, pause when you need to, and take a break. The timer is built into Folio; there is no second timer add-on to install.

A plan that sees your calendar

Choose calendars from Google or iCloud, subscribe to an iCalendar link, or import an .ics file. Preview study sessions around your dates and available time. Publishing to a separate Folio Study calendar needs your review and approval.

Google sign-in is available, but Google may show an unverified-app warning while its review is pending. Your school may also restrict access.

Extra help, when you choose it

AI assistance is off by default. Choose your own remote model connection, keep your source material and responses in view, and review card drafts before saving them. Folio does not install or start a local model for you. Ordinary study needs no AI connection.

Make yourself at home

A few steps
inside Anki.

One Folio add-on for everyone. Your name, appearance and connections belong to your own profile.

  1. Install in desktop Anki

    Open Anki on your computer. Choose Tools → Add-ons → Get Add-ons, enter 726304578 and choose OK. Quit and reopen Anki, then open Tools → Folio Settings. You can start with your existing cards right away.

  2. Make it yours

    Open Tools → Folio Settings. Set your name and appearance. If someone shared a private profile.json with you, download it, choose Switch profile → Import profile, review the preview, then create and switch to that profile. You can always switch back. A shared profile brings a name and appearance; connect your own calendars separately.

  3. Write your first card

    Open Anki’s Add window. Choose a deck and note type, write your Question and Answer, and add any tags. Choose Preview card to check the unsaved card, then return to editing and choose Add card. Calendar connections and AI are optional.
