KEY FEATURES

• Instant Clean Web Extraction & Offline Storage
Paste any URL or let Folia detect copied links on your clipboard. Our built-in readability engine strips away popups, banners, and clutter, extracting clean paragraphs, headings, quotes, code blocks, author metadata, and estimated reading time into a fast local SQLite database.

• Built-in 15-Language Full Article & Paragraph Translator
Read global knowledge in your native tongue or study side-by-side! Instantly translate any saved article into 15 major world languages:
English, Arabic (العربية), Persian (فارسی), Spanish (Español), French (Français), German (Deutsch), Chinese Simplified (简体中文), Hindi (हिन्दी), Russian (Русский), Portuguese (Português), Japanese (日本語), Turkish (Türkçe), Korean (한국어), Italian (Italiano), and Urdu (اردو).
Switch seamlessly between Side-by-Side Bilingual Mode (original paragraph + translated card) and Translated-Only Mode, with automatic Right-to-Left (RTL) and Left-to-Right (LTR) layout adaptation.

• 4-Color Editorial Highlighter & Personal Margin Notes
Tap any paragraph to highlight key insights in Amber, Sage, Sky, or Berry. Attach personal study notes to any highlight and browse, filter, and search all your annotations in the centralized Highlights Hub.
