Folio: Daily Medical Journals

The peer-reviewed reader for physicians who care about how they read.

A front page for medical literature — laid out like a journal you'd keep on your desk.

Pick your specialties. Open Folio. Read. No ads, no streaks, no ranking by who screamed loudest — just the literature, ranked by what actually matters: journal quality, citation rate, and how recently it was published.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Choose your specialties from 50 options, from Cardiology to Child Psychiatry.
2. Folio pulls fresh peer-reviewed papers from PubMed every day — the top 50 from each specialty, surfaced in a clean editorial feed.
3. Open a paper. Read the abstract. If it's Open Access, read the full text natively in Folio. If it's behind a paywall, jump to the publisher in one tap.

MADE FOR PROFESSIONAL READERS

• Listen — papers read aloud, hands-free, with lock-screen controls. Citations and reference lists are skipped automatically.
• Four-color highlighter for full-text papers. Anything you highlight is saved with its complete text — yours to keep.
• Journals shelf — the latest issue of every journal in your specialties, plus NEJM, The Lancet, JAMA and the other flagships. New issues land in your feed the day they publish.
• Follow any journal — search 150,000+ titles in any language and shelve their new issues.
• Offline — your last feed is always readable, connection or not.
• Optional daily reminder about new papers in your specialties. One a day, never more.
• Honest relevance scoring — Relative Citation Ratio (NIH iCite), journal rank (SCImago SJR), and recency. No black box; the inputs are explained in-app.
• Native full-text reader for Open Access articles (CC-BY, CC-BY-NC, CC0), built from Europe PMC's structured XML. Real typography, not a stripped-down webview.
• References and citing papers for every article, one tap away.
• Open Access detection across 40M+ papers via Unpaywall — a green dot tells you there's a free full text before you tap.
• PDF priority when Open Access — Folio goes straight to the PDF, LibKey-style.
• RIS export to Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, and Papers with one tap.
• Read Later, Collections, and Saved Searches — your library, on your device.
