## Description

A prep course, not just a reader. Pre-study the words that cover 95% of a classic, then read the unabridged original with tap-to-translate and audio. Start free.

Folio gets you to actually finish an English classic — in the original, cover to cover.

Most reading apps drop you into a hard text and hope you cope. Folio is different: it's a prep course, not just a reader. Before you read, you pre-study the ~600 words that cover 95% of that specific book — plus its key grammar, idioms, and character names — using spaced repetition with self-rated confidence. Once your "reading power" is high enough, you read the unabridged original with a tap-to-translate dictionary and LibriVox audiobook narration.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Pre-study the book. Spaced-repetition flashcards for the vocabulary, grammar, idioms, and names that unlock the text — chapter by chapter. Folio catches the words you only think you know.
2. Watch your reading power rise. A per-chapter gauge fills as you study, rewarding real recall.
3. Read the original. The full, unabridged text with tap-to-translate and audio. Finish it and earn a completion card.

IN YOUR LANGUAGE
The texts stay in English. Definitions, notes, and example translations appear in your language: Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, or French.

THE LIBRARY
A growing library of public-domain classics — start free with Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, then unlock the full collection.

HONEST BY DESIGN
- No account, no sign-in. Everything is stored on your device.
- No ads, no tracking.
- Book texts from Project Gutenberg and Standard Ebooks; narration from LibriVox — all public domain.

Start free, and read your first classic to the very last page.
