## What is Foldgleam?

Foldgleam turns a folding iPhone into a playground of light, glass, paper and colour. Fold gently, touch, open again, and nine toys answer.

LAVA LAMP, free forever. A glass chamber of softly glowing blobs that rise, fall, stretch and merge. Close the phone a little and the current draws them together; open it and they ease apart. The Classic finish is free; Lagoon and Pearl come with Full Playground.

GLASS BUBBLE. One large translucent bubble that compresses along the hinge as you fold and rebounds as you open. Drag it to deform it; let go and it recovers. Three finishes.

INK PRESS. Paint on one half of the screen, press the phone partway closed, and the ink transfers to the other half like a print. Three palettes, a brush in three sizes, undo, and a clean export to Photos or the share sheet. Works offline.

CLOUD DRAGONS · 雲龍. Three dragons weave through a night sky. Fold a little and the smaller ones return to the elder as pearls; open and they unfurl. Fold further and the elder calls down a bolt that tears a black hole open on one half of the screen, then dives in to burst out on the other. Lightning, rain and healing cracks come and go.

SKELETONS. A pile of friendly bones. Open the phone and the skeleton gets up, feet first and skull last, strolls, dances, tires and collapses; fold, and the bones lie down again. Tilt slides them, a shake scatters them and they rattle back together. Sideways, a second skeleton joins in a barn. Funny, never scary.

BUTTERFLIES. Eleven butterflies flying with depth over a garden. Fold, and they gather into a column at the crease while the garden leans in; open, and they scatter again. A finger shoos them. Three colour schemes.

FIREWORKS. A show on a black sky: nine kinds of burst with trails, smoke lit from inside, and thunder shells that throw lightning through it. Folding loads a shell and opening fires it; hold the fold for a finale. On New Year's Eve a countdown runs to midnight. Flashes are local and few; Dim Flashing Lights softens them.

MARBLES. Glass marbles on a wooden tray. Fold, and they roll into the crease and line up; open, and they spread. Drag, flick, tilt to roll, shake to scatter, pour in more from the jar. A six-letter code lets a friend replay your tray; Share records a six-second clip.

POP-UP BOOK. A cut-paper pop-up book with six pages: castle, forest, harbour, lantern night, pumpkin night, snowy village. Open the phone and the paper stands up in five planes; fold, and they lean down until the page lies flat. Tap the pieces, swipe to turn. The seasonal page comes first around Lunar New Year, Halloween and Christmas.

MADE FOR THE FOLD. On a folding iPhone the toys follow the hinge, smoothed so small wobbles are ignored, and nothing ever needs the phone fully closed. Hinge support depends on Apple's software for that device. Every fold action also has a touch control, so it works on any supported iPhone.

OUT OF THE WAY. Controls fade when you are just watching. Sound is off until you turn it on. Motion follows your Reduce Motion setting, and Pause is always a tap away. Tilt and shake are optional. The lava is an artistic current, not a physics simulation. The dragons, skeletons, butterflies and pop-up pages are AI-generated artwork, brought to life by the app.

NOTHING IN THE WAY. No account, no sign-in, no ads. The only permission Foldgleam asks for is to add a picture or clip to Photos when you choose to save one; it never reads your photos. Anonymous usage statistics can be switched off in Settings.

ONE PURCHASE. The Classic Lava Lamp is free and unlimited. Full Playground unlocks the other eight toys and the Lagoon and Pearl lamp finishes in a single purchase, shareable with your family. No subscription, nothing renews.

ACCESSIBILITY. Every control is labelled for VoiceOver and sized for touch. The pictures themselves are visual by nature and are not conveyed non-visually.
