Widen vs Fold Counter

For iPhone Duo. Widen is the best way to use Safari on iPhone Duo's outer display, and on the inner screen in Split View. It's the extension that pioneered the choice between pictures alone and pictures with text. Close your iPhone Duo and Safari keeps a column down the side of the outer display for its buttons. Web pages stop where that column begins, so a strip of the screen goes unused on every site you visit. Open it with Safari beside another app, and Safari keeps the same column there. Web designers can't use that space themselves: Safari doesn't let a page extend beneath its buttons without scrolling sideways. Widen gives that width back. Photos, maps, tables and backgrounds stretch to the very edge, beneath Safari's buttons. Text and site menus stop just short of them, so nothing you need to read or tap is hidden. FOUR WAYS TO READ • Off: Safari as Apple made it. • Backgrounds: the page's colours and pinned bars fill the screen; pictures and text keep Safari's usual width. • + Pictures (the default): pictures and backgrounds fill the screen; text stays clear of the buttons. • + Text: every line runs the full width too. MADE FOR THE WAY YOU BROWSE • Works in portrait, in landscape or both, plus Split View on the inner screen. • The Widen button beside Safari's buttons switches the site you're reading with one tap. Touch and hold it to choose any layout, or open the settings. • Give any site its own setting, and see every exception in one list. • Widen a site's desktop layout as well, when you want to. • Hides the cookie, sign-up and app banners that cover the page on a small screen (switch it off any time). • Hide bars while reading: sites' pinned headers and footers slide away as you scroll down, and come back when you scroll up. • A Control Center button switches between Off, Backgrounds, + Pictures and + Text. • Shortcuts actions to set or toggle Widen, so it can follow a Focus or the Action button. • Works in Private Browsing, and alongside your favourite ad blocker. • Pages don't drift sideways as you scroll, and pinching and Safari's Page Zoom work as usual. ALWAYS IMPROVING Every website is built differently, and some do unexpected things. Widen is updated regularly with new features and fixes for the sites you read. If one doesn't look right, tap Report in Widen's panel in Safari: it sends us the details, and we'll do our best to fix it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Widen collects nothing. There is no account, no analytics and no network activity of its own. It changes how pages are laid out on your phone and never reads, records or sends what is on them. PRICE Free to download and free for 7 days from the first page it widens. Then keep Widen with a single purchase: US$3.99 for lifetime access at the launch price. No subscription. SETTING UP Open Widen and tap Open Safari Settings; switch on Allow Extension; set All Websites to Allow; and switch on Private Browsing too. Then choose Widen from the menu in Safari's address bar. Widen is an independent app, not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple. Handtuned in Sydney, Australia.

How often do you really fold your phone? Fold Counter counts every fold and unfold of your foldable iPhone, turns it into clear statistics and shows you how much of your hinge's estimated life you've already used. COUNTS LIVE, CATCHES UP LATER While the app is open, it reads the system hinge sensor and counts every fold and unfold in real time. Folded it while the app was closed? When you come back, Fold Counter notices the change and records it as an "inferred" fold, so your history stays complete. You can also log folds manually at any time. OPTIONAL: COUNT WITH SHORTCUTS Fold Counter adds two actions to Apple's Shortcuts app: "Count Fold" and "Count Unfold". They run in the background without opening the app. Set up a personal automation once – Shortcuts → Automation → + → "Opened or Closed" → "When iPhone is Closed" → tap Search, type "Fold Counter" and tap "Count Fold" (optionally a second one with Opened → "Count Unfold") – and every close and open of your foldable iPhone is counted, even when Fold Counter isn't running. No location, no extra battery. Settings → "Set up step by step" walks you through it with a screenshot and shows a green check as soon as the automation works. Requires iOS 27.2 or later. STATISTICS THAT TELL A STORY • Folds per day and your total over time • Time spent folded, half open and unfolded • Opening angles: tent, laptop or flat • How long your phone usually stays unfolded • Time of day, weekdays and a weekday × hour heatmap • Where you fold: a map of your fold spots and your top 3 places (optional) • Full history of every recorded fold QUESTIONS, ANSWERED The Questions tab turns your data into plain-language insights: • When do you fold the most? • Is today busier than usual? • Which weekday is your folding day? • How long does it stay unfolded? • Do you fold more on weekends? • How long would the hinge last at this pace? • Where do you fold the most? ICLOUD BACKUP & STARTING COUNT Signed in to iCloud? Your folds sync to your private iCloud, so your counts survive a reinstall or a new iPhone. Folded long before installing the app? Enter those folds and unfolds as a starting count in Settings – they're added to your totals, hinge lifetime and widgets. Today shows your folds total and unfolds total at a glance. ESTIMATED HINGE LIFETIME Set the rated number of folds (75,000 by default, adjustable) and see what percentage you've used and roughly how long your hinge will last at your current pace. WIDGETS & SHORTCUTS Keep your fold count and estimated lifetime on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Log a fold from Shortcuts or Spotlight anytime. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no tracking, no ads. Your data is stored on your device and, if you use iCloud, in your private iCloud database, which only you can access – the developer never sees it. Location is only used if you turn on "Record fold locations" – fold locations are stored on your device, and only place names are looked up via Apple Maps. MORE • English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Korean • Light and dark mode REQUIREMENTS Automatic counting requires a foldable iPhone with a hinge sensor. On other iPhones you can log folds manually and explore every statistic with sample data (Settings → Load sample data). Get to know your fold habits — download Fold Counter today.
