Want to print a PDF as a folded booklet — a zine, a program, a short manual or a story for the kids? Foldly reorders and pairs the pages in saddle-stitch order, so you just print double-sided, fold down the middle and staple. Pick a PDF, check the sheet-by-sheet preview, and tap Make Booklet. Share the result or save it to Files, then print it from any app. • SADDLE-STITCH PAGE ORDER — two pages per landscape sheet side, arranged so that after printing, stacking and one center fold the pages read 1, 2, 3 … in order. • BLANKS HANDLED FOR YOU — booklets need a multiple of 4 pages; Foldly adds the blank pages at the end and tells you how many, and how many sheets of paper you need. • SHEET-BY-SHEET PREVIEW — see which pages land on the front and back of every sheet before you print. • STAYS SHARP — pages are placed as vectors, not screenshots, so text prints crisp. Each page is kept upright, scaled to fit its half and trimmed to its visible page area. Links and bookmarks are carried over where possible. • BATCH MODE — with the unlock, turn up to 50 PDFs into booklets in one go. • SAME PAPER AS YOUR PDF — the booklet uses your document's page size turned sideways, so a Letter or A4 PDF prints on Letter or A4 paper, each page shrunk to half size. How to print: choose double-sided printing and flip on the short edge. If your printer can't print double-sided, Foldly can't do that part for you. Limits: PDFs up to 200 pages and 80 MB. Everything happens on your iPhone — your PDF is never uploaded and no account is needed. Your first booklet is free. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited booklets and batch mode. No subscription, no ads. Questions: overlapmarr@gmail.com

About

Fold Focus

Close your phone. Build a city. Fold Focus turns every focus session into a building. Pick how long you want to work, close your iPhone Duo or place your iPhone face down, and a building starts going up. Keep the phone closed until the timer ends and it stands in your city for good. Open it early and it falls. HOW IT WORKS - Pick a length from 10 to 120 minutes. Longer sessions raise bigger buildings: houses, shops, apartments, towers and landmarks. - Close your iPhone Duo to start. On any other iPhone, place it face down. Using a stand? Start with one tap instead. - Opened it by accident? You get 10 seconds to close it again before the building falls. - Finish and the building is yours. Your city grows session by session, and every one looks a little different. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Fold Focus is built for both displays and every pose. Close the phone and the session carries on on the outer display with a big countdown. Open it and the city fills the inner display, with the city on one side and your controls on the other. STAY ON TRACK - A daily goal of 30, 60 or 120 minutes, and a streak for every day you hit it - A weekly chart and the history of every building you raised, or lost - A reminder when a session ends, and a nudge if you leave mid-session PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no sign-up. Your sessions and your city stay on your iPhone. You can delete all your data in Settings at any time. Good for studying, revision and exams, deep work, reading, writing, or simply spending less time on your phone. SUBSCRIPTION Fold Focus Pro unlocks the app, with a yearly plan (with a 7-day free trial) or a monthly plan.
