Folio: Daily Medical Journals

The peer-reviewed reader for physicians who care about how they read.

A front page for medical literature — laid out like a journal you'd keep on your desk.

Pick your specialties. Open Folio. Read. No ads, no streaks, no ranking by who screamed loudest — just the literature, ranked by what actually matters: journal quality, citation rate, and how recently it was published.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Choose your specialties from 50 options, from Cardiology to Child Psychiatry.
2. Folio pulls fresh peer-reviewed papers from PubMed every day — the top 50 from each specialty, surfaced in a clean editorial feed.
3. Open a paper. Read the abstract. If it's Open Access, read the full text natively in Folio. If it's behind a paywall, jump to the publisher in one tap.

MADE FOR PROFESSIONAL READERS

• Honest relevance scoring — Relative Citation Ratio (NIH iCite), journal rank (SCImago SJR), and recency. No black box; the inputs are explained in-app. • Native full-text reader for Open Access articles (CC-BY, CC-BY-NC, CC0), built from Europe PMC's structured XML. Real typography, not a stripped-down webview. • References and citing papers for every article, one tap away. • Open Access detection across 40M+ papers via Unpaywall — a green dot tells you there's a free full text before you tap. • PDF priority when Open Access — Folio goes straight to the PDF, LibKey-style. • RIS export to Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, and Papers with one tap. • Read Later, Collections, and Saved Searches — your library, on your device.

DESIGNED THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY READ

No tab bar. No badges. No streaks. New York serif for titles, SF Pro for UI. Light and dark mode, both hand-tuned. Dynamic Type throughout.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

No account. No analytics. No tracking SDKs. Your specialty list and saved papers live on your device, not on our servers.
