Foldami

An origami book shows you the step; Foldami has you do it. Every fold starts with a line drawn on the paper: you move it onto the fold of the screen with two fingers, it turns green, and as you close your iPhone Duo like a book the flap lifts, swings over the hinge and lands on the other side. On an iPhone without a hinge, and on iPad, the same fold is done with a finger.

The eleven guided models start with a first lesson that brings the corners to the middle and end with a swan, by way of a cup, a hat, a heart, a dart plane and a samurai helmet; two lessons cover reverse and squash folds. With the phone closed, the outer screen of your iPhone Duo shows the next step. In Freehand you pick the shape, size and colors of the paper and fold wherever you like; your work saves itself.

Ten tables and ten papers, from washi to kraft, with guide lines that stay easy to see. VoiceOver reads out the sheet and its layers, text follows your system text size and every gesture has its own button. No account and no network: everything stays on the device.
