Fold Counter vs FoldCounter

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.

Discover the rhythm of your iPhone Duo, one opening at a time. FoldCounter keeps your detailed history on your device and turns it into clear counts, charts and personal milestones. • See today's openings, the current week and month, and your all-time total. • Optionally record closings and explore completed open durations, averages and monthly event history. • Explore opening and closing charts and heatmaps, plus a heatmap of time physically open. • Set separate daily, weekly and monthly opening notification thresholds. • Add widgets for a quick glance at your counts on iPhone and Apple Watch. • Follow the hinge angle while the app is visible; explore angle utilities and games. • Choose light, dark or automatic appearance and your accent color. • Add a starting count for earlier openings without changing recorded history. • Export your records or create and restore backups when you choose. Automatic counting requires Apple Shortcuts automations connected to physical opening and, optionally, closing triggers. Guided setup provides shared shortcuts and helps you test each event. System confirmations and permissions may be required. Launching the app or unlocking the screen does not count as a physical opening. Open duration is not screen-on time. Widget and Watch refresh timing is controlled by the system. Community statistics and leaderboards are visible to everyone. Sign in with Apple to join with your nickname, photo or emoji, total openings and game records. Your public profile is optional and can be deleted in Settings. Usage sharing remains optional. No ads or cross-app tracking. Requires iOS 27.1 or later. Physical opening/closing tracking and hinge visualization require a compatible iPhone Duo.
