Notes on your devices

A notes app with no account, free forever

The Folevi apps for Mac, iPhone and iPad work without an account. Choose Keep notes on my devices when the app opens, pick a place for your library, and start writing. Your notes are files in that place, and Folevi’s servers never see them.

Free forever in the Mac, iPhone and iPad apps. No account.

Pick where your library lives

The first time you open the app, choose one of these:

  • iCloud Drive: a Folevi folder that syncs to every iPhone, iPad and Mac signed in to your iCloud account.
  • Dropbox or Google Drive: sign in once, and Folevi only uses its own folder there.
  • Any folder: on the Mac, any folder; on iPhone and iPad, any folder the Files app offers, such as one in OneDrive.
  • This device only: nothing leaves the device. You can turn on sync later in Settings.

Your notes are files

A library is a folder with one file for each note and a small index beside them. Your own cloud keeps the copies in step across devices, and Folevi merges changes made on two of them. If you stop using Folevi, the folder is still yours.

Private Foli AI

On the Mac, Foli AI runs on Apple Intelligence, or on your own OpenAI, Anthropic or Google key. Your notes go straight from your Mac to the model, never through Folevi. More on the Foli AI page.

What needs an account

Some things need a place on the internet, so they need a Folevi account: sharing and public pages, comments with other people, workspaces, email-in, the web clipper, the MCP server and REST API, and AI credits. The web app needs an account too.

You can move between the two. Sign in and upload a library to your account, or export everything from an account back into a folder. See pricing for the plans.
