I built FolioAI because I kept wanting to ask questions about my own documents β€” contracts, research papers, meeting recordings β€” but I wasn't comfortable uploading them to ChatGPT or any cloud service. Client confidentiality, NDAs, personal stuff… "just trust us with your files" never sat right with me.

So FolioAI does the opposite: everything runs on your Mac. It uses Apple's on-device AI (or an open-source model you can download once), and nothing ever leaves your device. Turn off Wi-Fi and every feature still works.

What it does:

πŸ’¬ Chat with your documents β€” answers cite the exact page
πŸŽ™οΈ Audio Q&A β€” drop in a recording, ask about it, jump to the timestamp
βœ… Action items β€” every commitment, deadline, and owner, pulled automatically
⚠️ Risk flagging β€” reads contracts and highlights unusual clauses
πŸ“‹ Meeting briefings β€” walk in knowing everything about a client
🎬 Explain as video β€” turn any answer into a narrated explainer

It's a one-time... (see pricing note below β€” decide before you write this line)

It's built for anyone whose documents are confidential by nature β€” lawyers, consultants, researchers, anyone under an NDA β€” but honestly, anyone with a Mac full of files they want to actually use.

I'm here all day and would love your honest feedback β€” especially on what would make you switch from whatever you use now. What would you want it to do? πŸ™
