Fold by Fold
Every open counts.
Requires iPhone Duo for automatic fold counting and open-session timing. Standard iPhone models and iPad do not provide the required folding triggers. One-time manual setup in Apple Shortcuts is required.
Your folding activity, clearly
See today's openings, your lifetime total, daily average, busiest day, and weekly, monthly, or yearly charts. Pair opening and closing actions to track completed open sessions, today's time open, average session length, and your longest session.
Review and correct daily history, add missed counts, export CSV, and save or restore a full history backup with a recovery copy. Reach achievements starting with your first fold, set an optional daily goal, and choose optional local celebration alerts.
Choose from 12 previewable themes: Ocean, Violet, Ember, Rose, Mint, Crimson, Gold, Slate, Indigo, Forest, Sky, and Fire. Three widget types—Overview, Weekly activity, and Daily goal—come in small and medium sizes and follow your chosen theme.
Connect automatic counting
- Open Fold by Fold → Settings → Opening automation and widget setup.
- Use the Shortcuts button to find Record a Fold.
- Create one Opened-only automation with Record a Fold and enable automatic running. Keep Closed off for this automation.
- Use the guided opening check: close and open your Duo once, then verify the total increases by one.
Optional: time open sessions
Create a separate Closed-only automation with Record a Close, running automatically. Closing finishes the pending session without adding another fold. Never attach both actions to the same trigger. Earlier session lengths cannot be recovered; missing closing events are not estimated.
Settings shows the last opening/closing action times. These confirm an action ran; the app cannot inspect whether your automations are enabled or verify the current fold posture.
Widgets and themes
Touch and hold the Home Screen → Edit → Add Widget. Search Fold by Fold, choose Overview, Weekly activity, or Daily goal, select a size, and add it. Choose a palette under Settings → Color theme. iOS manages widget refresh timing, so changes may take a moment.
Your history and backups
In History, tap a day or + to correct or add a count. This adjusts the lifetime total without inventing sessions. In Settings → Your data, export CSV or save a JSON history backup. Restore previews the backup, saves a recovery copy of current history, and clears any imported pending session. Use Undo last restore if needed. Keep exported files somewhere safe; deleting the app and its data can remove local history.
Need help?
Count not increasing? Confirm the opening automation is enabled, runs automatically, and contains Record a Fold. Use the in-app opening check.
Counting twice? Keep only one Opened-only automation. Do not put Record a Fold on closing events.
No session time? Connect the separate Closed action. An opening with no matching close is counted but excluded from completed-session time.
Goals or alerts? Both are optional in Settings. Allow notifications in iOS Settings if you want celebration alerts. Goals and achievements are personal activity markers, not device-durability estimates.
