Full description (2051/4000). Paste it with the <b> tags; Google Play shows them as bold headings.

Folio is a calm, focused notebook for your stylus. Write by hand, sketch on an infinite canvas and read PDFs and EPUBs with a pen in hand. Your notes and books stay on your device: no account, no ads, and everything works offline.
<b>Ink that behaves like ink</b>
• Twelve brushes: ballpoint, fineliner, gel pen, marker, fountain pen, brush pen, calligraphy, highlighter, 2H–6B pencils, chalk, spray and a bristle paint brush
• Low-latency drawing with pressure and tilt
• Pressure curves you shape by hand, plus a threshold that ignores a worn pen tip
• Pencil grain that stays on the paper as you zoom
<b>Pages, or no edges at all</b>
• 35 page templates: lined, grid, dots, Cornell, planner, Kanban, music staff, habit tracker and more
• Infinite canvas with pins, a minimap and "back to content"
• Layers, lasso, shapes, fill, text boxes, tables, stickers, sticky notes and images
• A ruler and a zoom window for detail work

• Open books straight from your file manager or other apps
<b>A library that stays tidy</b>

• Smart backups to a folder you choose, with daily, weekly and monthly versions
• Export pages as PDF or PNG, or a notebook as an editable .folio file
<b>Private by design</b>

Data safety

Step 2: Data collection and security

Question Answer
Does your app collect or share any of the required user data types? Yes
Is all of the user data collected by your app encrypted in transit? Yes
Account creation My app does not allow users to create an account
Do you provide a way for users to request that their data is deleted? Yes (contact in the privacy policy; collection can also be turned off in Preferences)
Additional badges Skip

Step 3: Data types. Tick only these four:

Category Data type
App activity ☑ App interactions
App info and performance ☑ Crash logs, ☑ Diagnostics
Device or other IDs ☑ Device or other IDs

Leave everything else unticked, including Audio files → Voice or sound recordings: voice notes stay on the device.

Step 4: Data usage and handling. The same answers for each of the four types:

Question Answer
Collected, shared, or both? ☑ Collected only (Firebase is a service provider, not sharing)
Processed ephemerally? No
Required or optional? Users can choose whether this data is collected
Why is this data collected? Analytics. Add App functionality for Crash logs and Diagnostics

Step 5: Preview. It must show: data collected (App activity, App info and performance, Device or other IDs), no data shared, encrypted in transit, deletion can be requested.

Keep it in sync

If the app starts collecting something new, or stops, update in this order:

  1. apps/docs/src/pages/privacy.astro
  2. The Data safety form, using this page
  3. The store description (fastlane/metadata/android/*/full_description.txt)
