Foliole is an approachable incremental reading app: it helps you work through reading material by extracting passages, creating cloze deletions, and scheduling reviews, so reading actually completes.
Core features
Native incremental reading
Built around Piotr Wozniak's incremental reading ideas, with a native workflow for extracting passages, creating cloze deletions, and refining materials without leaving the reading flow.
Integrated FSRS scheduling
Integrates FSRS (Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler), an open and efficient review scheduling algorithm.
