Foliole is an approachable incremental reading app: it helps you work through reading material by extracting passages, creating cloze deletions, and scheduling reviews, so reading actually completes.
Core features
Native incremental reading Built around Piotr Wozniak's incremental reading ideas, with a native workflow for extracting passages, creating cloze deletions, and refining materials without leaving the reading flow.
Integrated FSRS scheduling Integrates FSRS (Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler), an open and efficient review scheduling algorithm.
Bring reading materials together Handles reading materials from different sources, whether local files, web documents, notes managed in Obsidian, materials exported from Readwise Reader, or selected text captured from other apps.
Index external documents Indexes other local folders on your computer without copying or moving the original files, creating an external document library that can be searched, viewed, and used across supported clients.
Complex content support Supports Markdown, PDF, EPUB, LaTeX math, code blocks, and other content rendering needs.
Command-line and agent workflows Lets Terminal and local agents read, write, and organize materials in Foliole, while Foliole Aide brings Codex directly into the app using the allowance included in your ChatGPT plan.
