## What is The Fold?

Your family's recipes deserve better than a screenshot.
The Fold is the private recipe vault where families share recipes with each other — not the internet.
Scan Grandma's handwritten cards. Create private Groups. Cook together.

  ——————————————

  ◆ PRIVATE GROUPS
  Share recipes only with people you choose. No public profiles, no social feeds, no strangers. Just your family and closest friends in private groups
  you control.

  ◆ SCAN HANDWRITTEN RECIPES
  Point your camera at any handwritten recipe card and watch it become a beautiful, searchable digital recipe. Preserve your family's heritage before
  it's too late.

  ◆ SAVE FROM ANYWHERE
  Import recipes from any website with one tap. No more screenshots, no more bookmarks that disappear. Everything in one place.

  ◆ COOK MODE
  Hands-free cooking with voice-controlled steps. Screen stays on, text gets bigger, and you can navigate without touching your phone.

  ◆ SYNCS EVERYWHERE
  Your recipes sync across all your devices in real time.

  ——————————————
