Redeeming a supporter code

A code is a thank-you, not a lock. Everything it opens is extra.

Where it goes

1. Open Folio, then Settings.
2. Go to Supporter, then Redeem a Code.
3. Paste the code and tap Redeem. On a phone you can also tap the folio://redeem link in the email.

You need Folio 0.6.5 or later. Older versions have no key to check a code against and will refuse it.

What it opens

• The Market, with themes, tweaks and sources, before it opens to everyone.
• Keyd, the keyboard, which installs from the Market.
• Beta features and beta builds, which arrive a release or two early and come with more bugs. You can turn them off in Settings whenever you like.

How long it lasts

A code counts from the day you redeem it, not the day it was made, so it never goes stale waiting in an inbox. Most run for a month or two. Settings shows the day yours ends.

What it does not do

It is checked on your phone against a key inside Folio, so it works offline and tells nobody anything about you. There is no account. Nothing that has already shipped ever moves behind a code, and everything the Market hands out is already in Settings for everyone.

If it will not redeem

• Check the whole code was copied, including the last group after the final dash.
• Update Folio: a code made for a newer scheme reads as "not a Folio code" on an old build.
• If it says expired, its window has run out. Supporting again gets another.

Still stuck

Say so in the Folio Discord and I will sort it out. A code that will not redeem is worth telling me about even if you work around it: it usually means something is wrong at my end rather than yours.

Written for Folio 0.6.7. If something here is wrong, out of date or missing,open an issue and it gets fixed.
