About Foliole

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.

What's new in 0.7.16

Fixed
- Blocked exploitation of a Node.js security vulnerability (CVE-2026-111497) through LAN sync. Previously, an attack was possible only with sync enabled and an attacker on the same local network specifically targeting Foliole.
- Upgrading the app or restoring an older backup no longer leaves it unresponsive for extended periods.
- Prevented occasional incorrect merges during sync conflicts.
