Coming soon · for readers in Turkey
Every page you readdeserves a record.
folii is a reading journal: session-by-session tracking, Turkish book data that is actually right, and your quotes and notes kept with the book. The mobile app is in development — the first release is what you’re signing up for.
One email when it opens. Your address is used for that and nothing else.
01 — Cover
Step inside the book.
folii is a quiet reading journal that remembers every book down to its edition, its translator and the page you stopped on. Keep scrolling — we’ll open the cover.
02 — Page
Every page counts.
24 pages today, 186 this week. Not a percentage — the real page, in the edition you’re actually holding.
- Session-level page logging
- Pace and streaks
- Finish-date estimate
03 — Edition
You pick the edition.
One work, several translations. folii records the copy in your hands: publisher, translator, page count.
A translator isn’t a footnote; it’s half of the text you’re reading.
04 — Quiet
No noise. Just reading.
No feed, no likes, no midnight streak alerts. Your notes stay yours; your library is shown to no one.
The shelf that forgot you.
Goodreads hasn’t moved since 2013. For someone reading in Turkey, five things are missing — that is exactly where folii starts.
Reading / Read. That’s the whole model.
Session-level tracking: pages, minutes, pace, and where you stalled.
The interface is dated; mobile is a shrunken desktop site.
Mobile first, for real. Shelving a book takes two taps.
Turkish data is missing, wrong, duplicated; no translator.
Right publisher, right translator, right edition, right page count.
Book clubs exist, but nobody is talking inside them.
Synchronised reading, chapter-level discussion, automatic spoiler protection.
Quotes live on Instagram, notes live in Notion.
Photograph the page; the quote stays next to the book.
Deep tracking
Not how many books. How you read.
Start a session, tell us the page when you stop. folii works out the rest: your pace, your streaks, your year. None of it is stored — every figure is computed as it’s read, so it can never drift.
- Session: 34 minutes, 26 pages
- Pace: rising across the weeks
- Streak: no notification when it breaks
- The yearly summary builds itself

Computed on read. Stored nowhere.
Turkish book data
One book, three translations.
In Turkey a reader picks an edition by its translator. In most apps that credit is missing or wrong. The catalog is ours: outside sources are ingestion channels, the accuracy is our job.
Ratings and reviews attach to the work; pages and progress attach to the edition. Keeping them apart is what keeps translator and page count honest.

Instead
Quiet defaults
Reading is not a performance. No badges, no leaderboards, no midnight notification because a streak broke. The app stays quiet; the book does the talking.

Recommendations
Sensitive to theme, mood and reading pace — not ‘people who read this also read’.
Why folii
Four promises we’re making you.
Not a feature list — four things you’ll feel while using it. The figures below aren’t live counters; we measured the catalog on a given day and we’re printing what we found.

0
taps to shelve a book
Our design rule, not an aspiration
01
Right edition, right translator
Which publisher, whose translation — it stays in the record. The page count matches the book in your hands.
02
Two taps to log
Shelve a book, start a session, enter a page. If it takes longer than that, the design is wrong and we fix it.
03
Quiet defaults
Notifications arrive off. No badges, no leaderboards — we’re not turning reading into a contest.
04
Your data is yours
Export exists from day one: take everything, delete the account. We don’t even keep your email address.
We’ll tell you when it opens.
First release: sign-up, the reading journal and the Turkish catalog. One email when it’s ready; silence until then.
Your address is processed for this announcement only and shared with no one. Ask us to delete it and we do.
