Folio is a finished prototype of a folder-native desktop workspace built on Eclipse Theia. It packaged a usable macOS application in which Claude could read and edit the same ordinary files as the person using it.

This repository is archived as a working record, not an active product. There is no current roadmap, release channel, or support promise. The useful result is the implementation itself: a reproducible Theia desktop build, integrated terminal and Claude extension, selected-folder startup, and macOS packaging and signing machinery.

Verify the retained artifact

The supported toolchain is Node 22 and Yarn 1.22.22.

yarn install --frozen-lockfile
yarn test
yarn build

For the preserved macOS packaging path, run yarn package:mac. Signing and notarization require the corresponding Apple credentials and are not necessary to inspect or build the prototype locally.

Status

Development ended in July 2026. Keep fixes narrowly scoped to preserving a reproducible historical artifact; do not infer an active Folio initiative from the presence of this repository.
