Now on the App Store for iPadiPhone and iPhone Duo · Beta · coming soon

Design anywhere.
Figma, with the parts iOS was missing.

Folio is an independent app for iPad, with iPhone and iPhone Duo coming soon. It runs Figma's own web editor and adds what a browser tab can't: document tabs, multiple windows, Apple Pencil, touch and trackpad input, a toolbar with modifier keys, interface zoom and native downloads. On iPhone, the canvas comes first. Your own account and files. Nothing in between.

Free. Needs iPadOS 26 or later (iOS 26 for iPhone, coming soon), an internet connection and a Figma account.

What Folio adds

The web editor, plus what a native iOS app should bring.

Folio does not reimplement Figma. It runs the real editor in a native shell and adapts touch, Pencil and keyboard input to standard browser behavior. Every iPad feature below is in the current release, shown in real screenshots.

iPhone Duo · Beta · coming soon

Fully optimized for your iPhone Duo.

Folded, Folio fits the cover screen: a compact layout with one panel at a time and every tool within reach of one hand.

Figma's full desktop layout spans the inner display, with edit commands in a side column and modifier keys always in reach.

Bottom toolbar

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.

Apple Pencil and touch

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.

Tabs and windows

Open several files at once, pin the ones you need, reopen closed tabs and spread work across windows. Tabs come back on relaunch.

Downloads and exports

A Download Center with progress and preview. Share, Save to Files, or add exported images to Photos without leaving the app.

Available

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.

iPhone and iPhone Duo

Beta · coming soon

Coming soon to the App Store, in Beta. The canvas comes 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. Until it ships, the App Store release is iPad only. Beta: not yet verified on every device, and Figma editing on phones is not guaranteed.

FAQ

Questions worth answering before you install.

Is Folio official?

No. Folio is an independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Figma, and it uses no Figma logo or icon artwork. Figma's own terms and privacy policy apply to its web editor.

Does it edit my existing files?

Yes. Folio shows Figma's own web editor, signed in with your own account. Nothing is copied, converted or synced by Folio; you work in the same files and teams as on the desktop.

Does it work offline?

No. The editor is Figma's web app, so Folio needs an internet connection and a Figma account.

Can I sign in with Google?

Not inside Folio. Google blocks sign-in from embedded browsers, so Folio hides the Google button on Figma's login page and shows guidance if you reach Google another way. Use email and password (with a second factor if required) or your organization's SSO. Signing in with Safari does not sign Folio in.

Which devices does it run on?

Any iPad on iPadOS 26 or later. iPhone and iPhone Duo on iOS 26 or later are coming soon, in Beta. Pencil, trackpad and keyboard are optional. Very large files can exceed browser memory limits; close unused tabs or lower the tab cap in Settings.

Does it run on iPhone?

Soon: iPhone and iPhone Duo support is coming to the App Store, in Beta, for iOS 26 or later; until then the App Store release is iPad only. Figma stays in its own minimized UI, with Layers and Properties in a bottom sheet (side panels in landscape), a floating tool pill and iPhone Duo layouts. It is not yet verified on every device, and Figma editing on phones is not guaranteed.

What happens with large files?

Large files can exceed WebKit memory limits. Folio unloads background tabs under memory pressure, recovers from WebContent crashes and offers a Safe mode that turns every adaptation off.

Why not Figma's own app?

Figma's iPad and iPhone app views, comments and presents, but doesn't edit design files. Folio is for people who want the full web editor on the go, with tabs, windows, a keyboard-and-trackpad workflow and native downloads. It complements Figma rather than replacing it.

Is it free and open source?

Folio is free. The source is public on GitHub (github.com/foliodesign/folio) under the Apache-2.0 licence. Figma's own pricing applies to your Figma account.
