FoldingA little help
Let’s get you folding.
Start with setup. If something still feels off, we’re here.
- Open Folding.
Follow the guided setup to create your open and close automations in Shortcuts.
- Try a fold.
Return to Folding and run both tests. Setup is complete when the app receives them.
- Make it yours.
Pick your favourite stats, choose a colour, and add a widget.
Common questions
My folds aren’t showing up.
Open Folding’s Settings and choose Run setup again. Check both Shortcuts automations, then run the open and close tests. The last received event helps you see whether an automation reached the app.
What counts as a fold?
Folding counts the open and close events your automations send. An open and a close can add two folds. Repeated reports of the same state don’t add another fold. Shortcuts determines when a partial movement produces an event.
Does Folding measure the hinge angle?
No. Travel is an estimate based on recorded folds. It isn’t a measurement of hinge angle, wear, or remaining lifespan.
Why hasn’t my history synced?
Check that iCloud is available and that both devices use the same Apple account. Sync can take time. Folding keeps recording locally while it waits.
Can I use Folding without competing?
Yes. Competition is optional. You can track, view stats, use widgets, and export your personal history without joining a leaderboard.
How do I export or reset my history?
Open Settings → Data. Export gives you JSON or CSV. Reset clears your history and public results while keeping your preferences. See the different deletion options.
Still need a hand?
Your app version and a short description are helpful. Please don’t send passwords, Apple verification codes, or private exports unless requested.
