📱 Save from iOS

On your iPhone or iPad, you can save to Folio directly from Safari, Chrome, Threads, Substack, Reddit — anywhere that supports the native share menu.

First time? Here’s how to add Folio to your Share Sheet:

  1. Open any article or webpage.

  2. Tap the Share button (square with arrow).

  3. Scroll the top row of app icons all the way to the right and tap More.

  4. Tap Edit in the top right.

  5. Scroll down to find Folio (it’s probably near the bottom).

  6. Tap the green + to add it to your Favorites.

  7. (Optional) Use the drag handles on the far right to rearrange the list.

  8. Tap Done.

Now, “Save to Folio” will show up in your share sheet — just one tap away whenever you find something worth coming back to.


🤖 Save from Android

On Android, saving is simple — just tap the Share button from your browser or any app, and choose Folio.

  1. Open the article or link you want to save.

  2. Tap the Share icon (usually three dots or connected circles).

  3. Tap Folio from the list.

That’s it — your link is saved.

If you don’t see Folio right away, tap “More” or scroll — it should be there once the app is installed.


💻 Save from Your Desktop Browser

Folio offers browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari (coming soon). Once installed, you can save any page with one click.

First time using it? Here’s how to pin the Folio icon:

  1. After installing, click the puzzle icon (🧩 Extensions) in the top-right corner of your browser.

  2. Find Folio in the list.

  3. Click the pin icon next to it to keep it visible in your toolbar. You'll find "Pin to Toolbar" in the gear icon on Firefox.

Now the Folio button will stay handy — just click it to save whatever you're reading.
