Folio
Collects the articles and newsletters you save into one weekly digest delivered to your Kindle or reMarkable.
Moves your reading off the phone and onto a calm screen, on a schedule, without you lifting a finger.
Folio is for people who save great articles and never read them, or read them on a phone between notifications. You save links and forward newsletters to Folio through the week, and it bundles them into a neat, typeset digest delivered to your e-reader.
The screen-time win is where you end up reading. A Kindle or reMarkable has no feeds, no alerts and no rabbit holes. Reading there is calmer, and it's time spent on things you chose rather than whatever the algorithm served up.
It also fills the gap Pocket left when it shut down. Saving is quick with the Chrome extension, and each newsletter gets its own forwarding address so they stop cluttering your inbox.
It's only useful if you own an e-reader, and it's a paid service run by one developer. There's a 7-day free trial with no card needed, then a small monthly or yearly fee in US dollars.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which e-readers does Folio work with?
Kindle and reMarkable, plus Kobo and other e-readers that accept files. Without an e-reader, Folio isn't much use.
How much does Folio cost?
US$5 a month or US$45 a year as of November 2026, after a 7-day free trial that doesn't need a card.
How do I get articles and newsletters into Folio?
Save web articles with the Chrome extension, and forward newsletters to your personal Folio email address. Folio builds the digest on the schedule you set.
Is Folio a replacement for Pocket?
For a lot of people, yes. It does the read-later job, then goes a step further by sending everything to your e-reader so you're not reading on your phone.

A tiny bit of friction at the moment of temptation, the same principle as automating price-checks so you're not the one doing the tempting re-check.
