Folio

A calm, Typora-style
Markdown editor.

Write in a single live-rendered page — no split panes, no clutter. Native, tiny, and fast; the text is the interface.

The editor, live

This is the real Folio editor running in your browser. Type on the left of the page and watch Markdown render inline — then flip to the preview to see the exported document.

Features

Seamless WYSIWYG

Markdown renders inline as you type — headings, emphasis, lists, tables, code blocks, blockquotes, links, and images.

Source Code Mode

Flip between the rendered page and raw Markdown with a single keystroke (⌘/).

Native everything

Real native menus and file dialogs, dirty indicator, live word count — a proper desktop citizen.

Folio Pro

Export to HTML & PDF, Focus Mode, Typewriter Mode, and the Night and Newsprint themes — unlocked with an offline license key.

Editorial design

Warm paper canvas, Newsreader serif prose, one oxblood accent. Nothing between you and the sentence.

Tiny footprint

Built on Tauri with the system webview — a ~5 MB download, no bundled browser.
