Foldly: Origami for Kids

Foldly is not a game to tap at. It is an app you use with a square of paper in your hand.

A fold happens slowly on screen. You pause it, rewind it, slow it down, and make the same fold in real paper. Then you tap Next. There is no score, no timer and nothing to collect — just a child, a piece of paper, and something that did not exist ten minutes ago.

WHAT IS IN IT Twenty-three projects, from a four-fold envelope to a jumping frog that takes fifteen steps. A paper cup you can actually drink from. A butterfly, a sailboat, a fortune teller, a sailor hat. A dart and a glider, to race against each other. A penguin, a fish and a duck. A paper balloon you blow up into a box, a heart to give away, a boat that floats, a swan that stands up, a masu box to keep things in, and a samurai helmet you can wear. A corner bookmark that lives in a real book. Three of them are free forever.

HOW IT WORKS • Every step is animated, not a photograph of a diagram • Slow it down, replay it, or step back whenever a fold goes wrong • Every instruction is read aloud, for children still learning to read • Finish a project, draw a face on it, and keep a photo of the real thing

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO • No subscription. One payment, once, and it never renews • No adverts. Not between projects, not anywhere • No account and no sign-up. Profiles are just a name, an age and a picture, kept on this device • Nothing is collected about your child. The app has no networking code of its own and no third-party code in it, so there is nothing that could be sent anywhere. The only network use is Apple's own App Store, for the one purchase • No chat, no comments, no way for anyone to contact your child

FOR GROWN-UPS Anything that spends money sits behind a step that asks for four digits written as words. A child who cannot yet read cannot get past it.

Everything works with no internet. Every project and every spoken instruction is already on the device before you start.

Made for hands, paper and a kitchen table.
