## What is Foldly?

Foldly is not a game to tap at. It is an app you use with a square of paper in
your hand.

A fold happens slowly on screen. You pause it, rewind it, slow it down, and make
the same fold in real paper. Then you tap Next. There is no score, no timer and
nothing to collect — just a child, a piece of paper, and something that did not
exist ten minutes ago.

WHAT IS IN IT
Twenty-six projects, from a four-fold envelope to a lotus with three rings of
petals. A paper cup you can actually drink from. A butterfly, a ladybug with seven spots, a sailboat,
a fortune teller, a sailor hat. A dart and a glider, to race against each other.
A penguin, a fish, a duck and a whale. A paper balloon you blow up into a box, a heart to
give away, a boat that floats, a swan that stands up, a masu box to keep things
in, and a samurai helmet you can wear. A corner bookmark that lives in a real
book. Three of them are free forever.

HOW IT WORKS
• Every step is animated, not a photograph of a diagram
• Slow it down, replay it, or step back whenever a fold goes wrong
• Every instruction is read aloud, for children still learning to read
• Finish a project, draw a face on it, and keep a photo of the real thing

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
• No subscription. One payment, once, and it never renews
• No adverts. Not between projects, not anywhere
• No account and no sign-up. Profiles are just a name, an age and a
  picture, kept on this device
• Nothing is collected about your child. The app has no networking code of its
  own and no third-party code in it, so there is nothing that could be sent
  anywhere. The only network use is Apple's own App Store, for the one purchase
• No chat, no comments, no way for anyone to contact your child

FOR GROWN-UPS
Anything that spends money sits behind a step that asks for four digits written
as words. A child who cannot yet read cannot get past it.

Everything works with no internet. Every project and every spoken instruction is
already on the device before you start.

Made for hands, paper and a kitchen table.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-10-23

Three new projects: a lotus with three rings of petals, a whale, and a ladybug with seven spots. Twenty-six in all.

Reduce Motion is respected. With it on, each step shows the paper before the fold and after it, instead of the animation, and Play jumps to the finished fold.

The player's buttons describe themselves to VoiceOver.

Some instructions now say "press it flat" where they used to say "squash", and the swan and duck are drawn more precisely.

The unlock page says it plainly: one purchase, no subscription, no adverts.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-05

Profiles. Everyone in the house gets their own, with their own picture and their own shelf of finished models.

Three projects were wrong, and are now right. The masu box folded its own ends shut, so it could never become a box. The samurai helmet had no brim, so there was nothing to put your head through. The jumping frog called the same pair of flaps its front legs and its back legs.

Tap front or back on any step to turn the model over. It is the only way to see the folds that go behind the paper.

A bigger picture on every step, every project now tells you what size paper to use, and all the text grows with your phone's text size setting.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-28
