Phi Tiles vs IrisFold

Discover the quiet beauty of geometric tilings. From Penrose's famous aperiodic patterns to the recently discovered Spectre einstein tile, mathematics holds shapes that fit together in endlessly surprising ways. Phi Tiles lets you explore them by building patterns yourself — one tile at a time. With simple touch interactions, a few elegant shapes become an infinite canvas for mathematical art. Whether you love geometry, patterns, puzzles, or visual design, Phi Tiles turns abstract ideas into something you can see, touch, and create. FEATURES • Four tile families: Penrose, Rhombus, Mosaic, and Spectre — each with its own geometry to discover • Unlimited Colors: Pick any color you can imagine and build your own palette • Movie Studio: Bring your designs to life with breathing, spinning, blooming, and unfolding animations — export as video • Pattern Mode: Watch complexity emerge automatically • Simple Gestures: Tap, drag, rotate, and snap tiles into place • Curated Gallery: Designs across every family, ready to remix • iCloud Drive Support: Save your designs to iCloud and open them on any device • Save & Share: Keep your work or export as images and movies • Free to explore: Create up to 200 tiles per design, unlock unlimited with a one-time purchase DESIGNED FOR EXPLORATION Phi Tiles is created by Phi & Form, a design studio exploring the space between mathematics and visual art. Our apps transform mathematical concepts into interactive experiences that feel intuitive, visual, and alive. No equations required — just curiosity.

Design the iris-folding pattern you want to make, teach, or share. IrisFold turns supported user-owned outlines into a colored, numbered sequence and print-ready PDF and SVG files. • Start with a geometric aperture or import a supported polygonal SVG. • Adjust the seed, spiral, opening, strip width and color lanes. • Follow one strip at a time with a visible completion count. Return directly to an unfinished step. • Prepare Letter or A4 files with a calibration square and clear construction order. • Share a locally rendered Iris Reveal or an editable .irisfold project through the system share sheet. Made for original pattern creators, teachers and card designers—not a catalog of ready-made craft patterns. SVG import supports closed polygonal outlines; curves and unsupported SVG features are rejected with an explanation. Projects and artwork stay on device. No account, cloud service or remote AI is required. Use artwork you own or have permission to use. Always review the guide and check print calibration at 100% before cutting. Shape your next original pattern on iPhone or iPad.
