Changelog
Folio 0.4.0
Released 2026-09-14.
Added
- Focus: Do Not Disturb, Sleep, Personal and Work, with schedules, silencing, Home pages to show or open, Android 15 look changes, a Control Center module, and Focus actions.
- iOS-style app downloads: progress rings on updating icons, a Downloading row in the App Library, a blue dot on new apps, and an option to add new apps to Home.
- Add to Home Screen for widgets and shortcuts that apps offer, including websites from Chrome.
- Suggestions for this time of day in Spotlight, the Today View and a new Suggestions widget; Up Next widget, and Up Next on StandBy and the Lock Cover.
- Icon Stacks: swipe down on a Home icon to fan out the apps stacked behind it.
- Per-page icon size and labels.
- Themes: Classic, Dark, Tinted and Clear, plus saving and importing theme files.
- Half folded with the phone upright, Home rows that would sit in the fold move below it.
- What's New after an update.
- Report a Bug in Settings opens GitHub's bug form with your Folio version and phone filled in.
- Icon packs made for Lawnchair or Apex show up in Icon Pack, along with ADW and Nova packs.
- Share a theme file to Folio from Files or Chrome to apply it, and community themes in the repo's themes/ folder.
- Big screens: on tablets, Chromebooks and desktop windows Folio scales up like iPad instead of looking like a phone layout in a big window. Phones and foldables are unchanged.
Changed
- Everything says Folio now: the README, user guide, troubleshooting, privacy notes, backup file name (folio-layout.json) and release files.
- Settings choices use iOS controls: a menu row with the current value that opens a checkmark menu, and segmented controls for two or three options.
- The Status Bar picks its text color from its frosted background, and uses stronger colors on light wallpapers.
- The side column is now called the Side Bar (status bar, Dynamic Island and dock), as on iPhone Duo.
- Edit while icons wiggle opens a short iOS 18-style menu under the button.
- Smart Rotate moves a stack to the widget that matters now.
- Settings previews draw Home with its real layout, widgets, status bar and dock.
- The status bar shows cellular bars, an airplane, or a searching fan when there's no Wi-Fi, instead of a line.
Fixed
- Spotlight's and Settings' search fields no longer grow and jump when you start typing.
- Edit mode no longer pushes Home down or cuts off the bottom row: unfolded, + / Edit / Done sit beside the page dots and the Edit menu opens upward; folded, the bar clears the Dynamic Island.
- Apps and shortcuts added while a Focus hides pages go to a page that's showing.
- Selected rows in the Settings sidebar use a rounded, inset highlight; the widget resize hint is rounded.
- Long app menus no longer push Edit Home Screen and More out of view.
- Settings pages that could miss updates while a Focus hides Home pages.
