No signup. No install. Ready in seconds.
Sketch and Design with Freedom.
Private by design.
Your work stays yours. Folio stores everything in your browser's local storage — no accounts, no servers, no tracking. What you draw never leaves your device.
An infinite canvas.
No boundaries, no grids, no constraints. Pan, zoom, and sketch freely on a canvas that grows with your ideas — however big or complex they get.
Keep ideas organized.
Group related work into pages within a single board. Switch between them instantly, present them in sequence, or use them to break down a project into stages.
Build your own library.
Save shapes, components, and layouts you use often. Import and export collections to reuse across boards or share with your team — your personal design system, always at hand.
Meet Folio Studio.
Every feature from Folio, running entirely on your own infrastructure using a single Docker image.
$ docker pull ghcr.io/jmjuanes/folio-studio

Questions and Answers
Is Folio free?
Yes, completely. Folio Lite runs in your browser with no cost, no account, and no hidden limits. Folio Studio is also free and open source — you just need to host it yourself.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Folio Lite works entirely in your browser without any signup. Just open the app and start drawing. Folio Studio is self-hosted, so there's no central account system either.
Where is my data stored?
In Folio Lite, everything is saved in your browser's local storage — nothing is sent to any server. In Folio Studio, data is stored on your own machine or server, depending on where you deploy it.
What's the difference between Folio Lite and Folio Studio?
Folio Lite runs directly in your browser — no setup needed, but limited to a single board. Folio Studio is a self-hosted version you deploy with Docker, which adds unlimited boards, a home screen with thumbnails, and full control over your data and infrastructure.
Can I use Folio offline?
Folio Lite works offline once the page has loaded, since everything runs client-side. Folio Studio, being self-hosted, works completely offline on your local network.
Is Folio open source?
Yes. Folio is fully open source and available on GitHub. You can inspect the code, report issues, suggest features, or contribute directly to the project.
