FoldTick vs Fold Counter

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.

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.
