Your inbox
isn't
a reading room.

Folio collects the newsletters you subscribed to and never opened, then sets them — once a week, at a time you actually have — as a single, beautifully composed magazine.

A person reading a printed magazine in soft morning light — Plate I — A subscriber, Sunday morning.

The argument

Forty-one unread newsletters and counting.

You subscribed because the writing was good. Because someone you trust recommended it. Because, in a moment of optimism on a Tuesday afternoon, you thought you would read it. Then the next one arrived, and the next, and the inbox quietly turned the thing you wanted into another thing you owed. Folio takes the pile off your desk. We collect what you've signed up for, assemble it into a single issue, and put it in front of you once a week — at a time you've set, in a format that doesn't ask anything more of you than to sit down.

The method

Three movements

Tell us what you read

Add the newsletters you already subscribe to — or forward them to your private Folio address. We catalogue, we don't peek.

We typeset the week

Every Sunday morning, your week's reading is composed: cover, contents, long reads, short notes. One issue. No feed.

III

You sit down to read

Delivered at a time you set. Open it on the train, in a chair, in the kitchen. Close it when you're done. That's the whole interaction.

The colophon
