Hear your documents, straight from the file browser.
A native iPhone reader that opens your local Markdown and text files and speaks them aloud with natural Apple voices — offline, private, no account.
Why FolioTell
Made for lectures, notes, and long reads you carry as text. Open a file and listen — on a walk, a commute, or while your eyes rest.
Browse straight into the Files app and open .md, .markdown, or .txt — read-only, nothing to import.
Apple system voices read aloud, automatically matched to your document's language — including Cyrillic and beyond.
Five clear speed presets from 1× to 2×. Set it once — your choice is remembered next time.
Everything runs on your device. No account, no network, no tracking — your files never leave your iPhone.
How it works
Launch straight into the system document browser and find your file.
Tap a supported document and the reader appears instantly.
Play, pause, resume, and stop — and set the speed that suits you.
Private & offline
FolioTell has no backend and asks for no account. It works fully offline and collects nothing — reading is between you and your files.
