About

Foldku

Features
Read full description

Foldku is a quiet folding puzzle. Every card has two colored faces. Fold a card onto its neighbor when their top colors match. The card flips and stacks. Keep folding until a single card remains. Simple to learn, deep enough to sit with. ALL 300 LEVELS, FREE Nothing is locked behind a paywall. The first 40 levels are completely ad-free; after that a short ad appears every few puzzles. One tap in Settings removes them forever if you'd rather play uninterrupted. NO TIMERS, NO LIVES Nothing hurries you and nothing runs out. Your progress stays on your device (and in your own iCloud, if you want it on every device). 300 HANDCRAFTED LEVELS Twenty chapters, each with its own quiet mood. Every level is generated and then verified by a solver, so a solution always exists. Difficulty is measured by how easy it is to go wrong, not by how many tiles are on screen. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY Everyone gets the same daily board. Solve it, keep your streak, and come back tomorrow. Miss a day? A weekly streak freeze has your back. ENDLESS ZEN MODE No stars, no timer, no pressure. The difficulty quietly adapts to how you're playing. Fold for one minute or twenty. MADE TO FEEL GOOD Paper-soft sounds, gentle haptics, a fold that curls from the corner you touch. A dark theme for late nights. Everything can be turned off if you'd rather play in silence. SEVEN LANGUAGES English, Español, 中文, 한국어, 日本語, Français, Türkçe. Switch any time inside the app. Foldku is for the ten minutes when you want your brain busy and your shoulders down.

About

FolDD

Features
Read full description

A sheet of paper. A handful of marks. One elegant rule: when two marks overlap, they cancel. Foldd is a tactile logic game about finding the cleanest sequence of folds. Drag a side, watch the paper lift under your finger, and make the marks resolve into the target shape. Reach it in the fewest folds for a perfect three-star solution. CALM IN PRESENTATION. SERIOUS IN DEPTH. The first levels teach the rule one fold at a time. Soon you will be planning long sequences, preserving the marks you need and cancelling the ones you do not. The final chapter brings in octagons, stars, pinwheels and kaleidoscopes. There are no timers and no lives to lose. Take ten seconds or ten minutes. A PUZZLE FOR EVERY MOOD - Start with 39 campaign puzzles across the first two chapters, free - Return each day for the free Daily Puzzle and build your streak - Unlock the remaining 141 campaign puzzles, including 12 handcrafted Origami shapes and expert nine-fold challenges - Explore Paper Studies: 32 optional puzzles with off-centre folds, deceptive symmetry and surprising cancellations, included in Full Game Unlock - Keep folding in endless Zen mode after unlocking the full game - Create, test and save your own puzzles, then share them with a compact code after unlocking - Choose from nine paper-and-ink appearances, with six unlocked by earning stars MADE TO FEEL LIKE PAPER Every fold lifts, bends and shades as you drag. Fine paper texture, moving shadows, crisp crease sounds, restrained haptics and smooth animation make each solution feel physical. QUIET BY DESIGN Core play works offline. There are no accounts, ads, analytics or tracking. Progress and creations are stored on your device. A puzzle code leaves only when you choose Share. A High Contrast appearance is included, and key animations honour Reduce Motion. TRY IT FREE, THEN UNLOCK IT ONCE The first two campaign chapters and the Daily Puzzle are free. One in-app purchase unlocks the remaining campaign, Paper Studies, endless Zen and the Puzzle Creator. This is not a subscription. Foldd is made for a spare minute, a long think and that lovely moment when the whole puzzle clicks into place.
