Useful intelligence, without the cloud
Remember more.
Reveal nothing.

Find a passage across your local library and jump straight to its chapter or page.
Ask without spoilers
Ask questions or get a catch-up using only what you’ve already read—fully on device.
Take your notes with you
Export highlights and annotations as Markdown, plain text, JSON, or CSV.
The reader landscape
Built for ownership,
not an ecosystem.
Reader apps make different tradeoffs across format support, storefront access, privacy, and library tools. Folire focuses on private, durable tools for the library you control.

isn’t a product.

- 02 Search, reading questions, and narration run locally
- 03 Your library works offline
- 04 Your annotations export in open formats
Good questions
A few things
worth knowing.
Which formats does Folire support?+
DRM-free EPUB, PDF, CBZ, CBR, TXT, FB2, MOBI, and AZW3 books, plus MP3, M4A, and M4B audiobooks. Folire cannot remove or bypass DRM.
Does Folire upload my books?+
Imported books are copied into Folire’s private local storage. If you enable iCloud library sync, Folire uploads book files and reading data to your private iCloud storage so you can open your books on another device. Folire does not upload books to a developer-operated server.
Is Folire a subscription?+
No. The free version supports a five-book library and reads every book aloud with Standard system voices, plus neural narration for one book. Folire Pro is a one-time $14.99 purchase for unlimited books and every advanced feature, including Enhanced, Premium, and all 15 neural voices.
How do the neural voices work?+
Folire’s neural voices use Kokoro, an open text-to-speech model that runs entirely on your iPhone or iPad, so what you read never leaves it. The voices are an optional download from the App Store in Settings › Narration. They read English books, need iOS 26.4 or later, and use more battery than system voices.
Which languages does the app support?+
Folire’s interface is available in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
Can I connect my own library server?+
Yes. Folire supports OPDS 1 and 2 catalogs, Calibre Content Server, authenticated WebDAV, and direct book URLs.
When can I download it?+
Folire is available now for iPhone and iPad. Download it on the App Store.
