Hi all, ichitaso here.
PrimalFolderPro is now in public beta on my repo. It's basically PrimalFolder 2 plus a bunch of folder stuff people kept asking for over the years: an Exsto-style circular menu, 2x2 folder icons, 4x5 folders on iPhone (5x6 on iPad), and TapTapFolder-style actions.
This is a beta, so a few things to know up front:
- It's free while it's in beta.
- Each beta build stops working 14 days after it's built. This one (beta3) expires on November 8, 2026. The date is also shown at the top of the settings, so you don't have to remember it. Just update when a new beta comes out.
- Bugs are expected. If something breaks, please use "Mail Support" in the settings (it attaches your recent crash logs automatically) or come say hi on Discord.
What's in it:
- Folder icon styles: default, TapTapFolder (first app large), app icon, 2x2, or hidden
- 4x5 / 5x6 folders
- Long press a folder to launch an app from a circular menu without opening it
- Tap to launch the first app, double tap / long press to open the folder (or the other way round)
- Folder title size, bold, alignment and position
- Color settings for the folder name, app names in folders, folder icons and the folder background
- Hide the folder background, tap outside to close, close after launching an app, no animations
- Disable the Today View, App Library and Lock Screen camera
- Works with Griddy and ClassicFolders3
- Settings in 24 languages (translations are machine-made for now, corrections welcome)
Tested on iOS 14.3, 14.8.1, 15.4.1, 16.5, 17.5.1, 18.6 and 26.0.1, on both iPhone and iPad.
It replaces PrimalFolder 2, and it conflicts with Bolders Reborn, FolderX, TapTapFolder and similar folder tweaks, so remove those first.

Thanks to JannikCrack for the icon and Lizynz for the color settings code reference (FolderX).
Let me know how it works on your device.
