Folio is an independent, native iPad app that hosts Figma's web editor and adds document tabs, multiple windows, Apple Pencil, touch and trackpad adaptations, a bottom toolbar with modifier keys, interface zoom and native downloads. Figma's own editor, your own account and files. Nothing in between.
Free. Needs iPadOS 26 or later (iOS 26 for the iPhone Alpha on TestFlight), an internet connection and a Figma account.
Folio does not reimplement Figma. It runs the real editor in a native shell and adapts iPad input to standard browser behavior. Every feature below is in the current build. Physical-device acceptance is still in progress.
Open several files at once, pin the ones you need, reopen closed tabs and spread work across windows. Tabs come back on relaunch.
Pencil & Touch pans the canvas with one finger and edits with the Pencil. Touch Only turns a finger into the pointer. Two-finger pan and pinch, hold menus and easier panel resizing in both.
Pinch to zoom the canvas on a trackpad, Ctrl-scroll to zoom with a mouse, and switch tabs, windows and settings with hardware keyboard commands.
One-shot or locked Shift, Control, Option and Command, a flick-to-press arrow key with hold-to-repeat, plus Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Duplicate, Group and Frame selection.
Scale Figma's panels and Folio's chrome from 50% to 200%, independently of canvas zoom. Hide the toolbars when the canvas needs the room.
A Download Center with progress and preview. Share, Save to Files, or add exported images to Photos without leaving the app.
Folio talks to Figma directly over HTTPS. No proxy, no credential handling, no analytics. Sign-in happens on Figma's own page; settings and tabs stay on your device.
The flagship. Any iPad on iPadOS 26 or later; Apple Pencil, trackpad, mouse and hardware keyboard are optional. Large files can exceed iPad browser memory limits, so Folio unloads background tabs under pressure and recovers from WebContent crashes.
The TestFlight Alpha puts the canvas first: Figma's own minimized UI, with Layers and Properties in a bottom sheet in portrait and side panels in landscape. A floating tool pill mirrors Figma's Design and Dev Mode tools, with a pinned Design | Dev switch. Tapping the lit tool cycles its group. Number fields get a key row on the keyboard. Folded and unfolded iPhone Duo layouts are included, and regular iPhones use Touch Only. Needs iOS 26 or later. The App Store release is iPad only; iPhone testing runs through TestFlight. This is Alpha: not yet verified on every device, and Figma editing on phones is not guaranteed.
Hold Command in Folio to see every available command. Figma's own editing shortcuts still belong to Figma.
Folio is pre-1.0 and tested on physical iPads. There is no public download yet. A feature is either Available in the current build or Planned; Alpha is reserved for iPhone support, which runs through TestFlight.
Folio is free. Source release planned under the Apache-2.0 licence. The repository is not public yet and the publication date is still to be decided. The repository link will appear here once it is public.
