Folvi is a personal, local-first research studio for Mac. Create a project, collect your materials, read and annotate them, follow questions with an agent, and write with citations close at hand.
A library that stays yours
Papers, articles, and notes live together in a project on your Mac. Importing, search, reading, annotation, writing, and export all work without an account, and encrypted backups go to a folder you choose.
Follow the evidence
- Highlight a passage and leave a thought in the margin.
- Ask the research agent a question, and trace its answers back to their sources.
- Find new material through arXiv, Crossref, and OpenAlex.
- Connect Codex with ChatGPT or an API key when you want the agent.
See what connects
A graph shows how sources, notes, and questions relate, so the interesting part between the papers stays visible. From there, the evidence moves into your draft with its citations attached.
The film and stills recreate the Folvi interface with illustrative data. More on the Folvi landing page.
