Folio turns any EPUB you already own into a level map. Every chapter is a level: finish one, earn XP, move along the path, and crack open a reward chest when you finish a book. A daily streak keeps you coming back, and a Streak Freeze covers the day life gets in the way. Your books never leave the device. No cloud library, no uploads, no ads, no tracking. Only reading progress syncs. Free on Android. Pro unlocks unlimited books at once.
