For iPhone Duo only. Give your Duo an odometer. And a secret engine room. That satisfying feeling of folding your Duo closed? Put a number on it. FoldTick turns everyday folds into a beautifully crafted split-flap counter, useful widgets and a growing picture of how you use your Duo. DUO ENGINE ROOM Your Duo has a secret world inside. Unfold it and step into an imagined steampunk engine room of brass gears, winding springs and mysterious amber light. Gently move the hinge and the machinery turns with you. A glass bulb brightens as you move, then fades as you hold still, while mechanical flap displays show your hinge angle and lifetime fold count. Made for the inner display, in portrait or landscape. A little mechanical theatre, powered by your folds. A COUNTER WITH CHARACTER Watch your lifetime total grow on a graphite split-flap display inspired by mechanical counters. Collect milestones from your first fold to the next big number. YOUR COUNT, WHERE YOU WANT IT Home Screen widgets range from compact and wide counters to a medium Weekly Counter. The new large Activity widget combines your lifetime count, seven-day chart and 30-day calendar. Main counters support Today or All time; the Activity widget shows All time. Widgets follow light and dark appearance while their flaps stay dark. The Lock Screen 7-Day Counter comes in circular and rectangular sizes. It totals recorded folds from today and the previous six days. Tap a seven-day counter or Home Screen chart to open Activity. Widgets update automatically as folds are recorded. A HEAD START FOR YOUR COUNTER Folded your Duo before installing FoldTick? Add an estimate in Settings. It contributes to your lifetime total and milestones; daily activity and insights use recorded folds. Edit or clear the estimate any time. SEE HOW YOUR DAY UNFOLDS Explore hourly activity, a seven-day chart, a 30-day calendar and your latest folds. Personal insights show your daily average, busiest day and hour, and weekly change using up to 30 completed days. SHARE A LITTLE OF YOUR RHYTHM Turn your lifetime count, today's folds, seven-day chart, 30-day calendar or insights into a styled image. Save to Photos or choose where to share it. Nothing is posted automatically. SET IT UP. LET IT TICK. Add FoldTick's ready-made Record Fold shortcut, then turn on Automation. The illustrated guide walks through import, enabling, a one-fold check and an optional earlier-fold estimate. It links to Shortcuts on the App Store if needed. Existing working automations need no replacement. Once configured, Record Fold can count off-screen, including while your Duo is locked after its first unlock. JUST YOUR FOLDS No account. No ads. No subscriptions. No analytics service. History and insights stay on your device. Sharing is your choice. IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY AND SETUP Automatic counting requires iPhone Duo with iOS 27.1 or later and one enabled closing automation in Apple's Shortcuts app. Other iPhone models lack the required closing trigger. Each closing action delivered by Shortcuts adds one fold cycle. Counting starts after setup; earlier folds and undelivered actions cannot be recovered. Insights exclude today, the first recording day and your Earlier folds estimate; weekly comparisons need 14 completed days. Days without received folds count as zero, including when an automation did not run. iOS schedules widget updates, so widgets may lag behind the saved count. FoldTick is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple. iPhone Duo is a trademark of Apple Inc.
