The apps and notes on your devices
Folevi for Mac, iPhone and iPad: where to get them, keeping notes on your devices with no account, where a library can live, and moving to an account.
Updated
The apps
| App | Where to get it |
|---|---|
| Mac | A free download from folevi.com/mac. Open it and drag Folevi to Applications; it updates itself. macOS 15 or later. |
| iPhone and iPad | Free on the App Store. iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 or later. |
| Web | In any modern browser: open the web app. Needs a Folevi account. |
There is no Android or Windows app. On those, use the web app.
Keep notes on your devices
The first time you open the Mac, iPhone or iPad app, choose Keep notes on my devices. It’s free forever and needs no account. Then pick where your library lives:
- Sync with iCloud: a Folevi folder in iCloud Drive, on every iPhone, iPad and Mac signed in to your iCloud account.
- Sync with Dropbox: sign in to Dropbox once. Folevi only uses its own folder, Apps › Folevi.
- Sync with Google Drive: sign in to Google once. Folevi only sees the files it makes.
- Choose a folder: any folder on the Mac, or any folder the Files app offers on iPhone and iPad, such as one in OneDrive.
- This device only: nothing leaves the device. You can turn on sync later in Settings.
A library is a folder of files: one file for each note, and a small index beside them. Folevi’s servers never see them. To use the same library on another device, open the app there, choose Keep notes on my devices and pick the same place.
Foli AI without an account
On the Mac, Foli AI runs on Apple Intelligence, or on your own OpenAI, Anthropic or Google API key. Your notes go straight from your Mac to the model, never through Folevi. Set it up in Settings → Foli AI.
What needs an account
These need a Folevi account, because they go through our servers: the web app, sharing and public pages, comments with other people, workspaces, email-in, the web clipper, the MCP server and REST API, and AI credits. An account works in every app, too. See Pricing for the plans.
Moving between the two
- To an account: sign in from the app and upload your library. Your notes then sync through Folevi like any account’s.
- Back to your devices: export everything from your account into a folder you pick.
