The free desktop alternative to Legora, Harvey and Hebbia.
Folio is built for teams doing high-stakes document review: legal discovery, financial diligence, compliance, and regulated research. Use AI models to sift through your files and extract relevant insights.
- Curate and search documents at scale. Filter out files that don't fit your criteria.
- Create repeatable workflows for research. Dictate "how to search" not "what to search".
- Synthesize AI insights with rigor. Trace all insights back to the underlying documents.
Most tools in this category (Legora’s Tabular Review, Harvey’s Review Tables and Hebbia’s Matrix) are SaaS-first. Folio runs locally and is highly customizeable.
- Run on your desktop.
- Keep sensitive files inside your environment.
- Use your own API keys for AI vendors.
- Customize to your needs.
- Avoid lock-in.
Traditional search is about finding a match to your query. Folio lets you search by exclusion. Categorize your files and then filter down to ones that fit your criteria.
Folio lets you define a repeatable "workflow" for your research: retrieve, classify, extract, exclude, retrieve again. Once a workflow is defined, new files can be fed through it automatically.
Every insight can be traced back to the underlying source document.
