Set up Folienne.

The essentials for building a useful, comfortable front page.

Add feeds

Paste a website address or a direct RSS, Atom or XML feed URL. If Folienne finds several feeds, choose the edition you want.

Settings Manage Feeds Add Feed

Choose a reading style

Use light or dark paper, then choose Newspaper, San Francisco or Dyslexic type.

Settings Appearance or Font

Tune the article list

Adjust title and preview sizes, image shape and size, list spacing, dates and full-width layout. The preview updates as you make changes.

Settings List and Content

Choose Reader or Website

Reader tries to load a full story inside Folienne when a feed contains only a preview. Website opens the original page instead.

Settings List and Content Full Article

Control the completion action

Choose whether the tick above Articles marks unread items as read, or also clears completed items from the list. Saved articles remain in Saved.

Settings Articles Complete Option

Keep devices together and decide how Folienne works in the background.

Settings Ad Blocking & Tracking or Rewrite Clickbait Titles

Fix common problems.

Start here when a feed or setting is not behaving as expected.

A feed will not add

Check that the address opens in Safari, then try the website’s main domain or a direct feed URL. Folienne accepts RSS, Atom and XML. Some websites do not publish a feed.

Articles are not updating

Pull down on Articles to refresh. If Feed Errors appears, open it and tap Retry beside the affected feed. A continuing error can mean the publisher moved, removed or temporarily blocked the feed.

Notification banners do not appear

In Folienne, turn on Banners and choose Banner for the feed. If Open Settings appears, allow Folienne notifications there. Background App Refresh must also be enabled for checks while the app is closed.

iCloud Sync is not working

Confirm Pro is active, both devices use the same Apple Account, iCloud is available and iCloud Sync is on in Folienne. Open Folienne on each device briefly after enabling sync.

Reader cannot load the full article

Some publishers prevent readable article extraction. Tap View on Website, or change Full Article to Website in List and Content.

A Pro purchase is missing

Open Folienne Pro and tap Restore Purchases. Use Manage Subscription to check an active subscription, and make sure the device uses the Apple Account that made the purchase.
