Folio PDF Reader

Folio PDF Reader

PDF reader you can ask questions

Description

Reading papers and long documents, the worst part is switching windows: view the PDF, copy a paragraph into ChatGPT, ask, repeat. Folio folds that into the reader: open a document and ask in the side panel, with answers citing page numbers you can click to jump to, powered by your own ChatGPT or Claude subscription and no Folio account.

Beyond Q&A it is a clean, fast PDF reader: highlights, notes, search and handwritten signatures, on Windows, macOS and Linux, MIT licensed. Windows also has a portable build.

Features



Ask your document: Question the whole document in the side panel; answers cite pages, using your own ChatGPT or Claude subscription
