Some days you want to type.
Some days you want to hold a pen.
The Zolio Diary is the paper twin of the app. A quick end-of-day ritual: write one line worth keeping, tick the habits you managed, and you are done in about a minute. No screen, no battery, no notifications.
Formerly the Folio Diary. Folio is now Zolio - the diary was made alongside the original app and carries the new name with it.

Why paper?

Reflection without a notification pulling you somewhere else. Just you and the page.
The most private journal there is
No account, no cloud, no battery. Your thoughts live in a book only you can open.
Slower on purpose
Writing by hand makes you pause. That pause is the whole point of closing a day.
The details
I did not design this to sell a notebook. I made it because it is the exact diary I keep every day: the memorable-moments line, the little habit grid, and the monthly look back. Zolio the app - then called Folio - grew out of this book. Now the book is here, made properly, for anyone who wants the same calm ritual off the screen.
The maker, PurposeLab Studio
App + paper, the same ritual
Type on the days you're moving, write on the days you're still. Many people keep both: the app for capture, the diary for the quiet close.
