Field Notes · Sample article

The pleasure of noticing small things

There is a particular kind of attention that begins when we stop looking for something new. The same street, the same window, the same patch of light can become interesting again.

On a recent walk, I noticed how the morning light crossed a row of old buildings. Nothing about the street had changed. What changed was the time I gave it.

A little room to slow down.

02 / Read

Read at your own pace.

Open an article and settle in. Saved text appears immediately; Fold loads missing full text automatically where the publisher makes it available.

Choose light or dark, serif or sans, and a text size that feels right. Your place is remembered when you come back.

Saved text is available offline, too.

03 / Share

Take the words with you.

Send readable article text to Notes, an email, or your favorite AI tool—with the title and source included.

Add your own reusable prompt if you want a summary, questions to consider, or a starting point for your notes.

You choose the destination. Fold doesn’t run an AI service.

Questions

Is Fold free?

$4.99, paid once. No subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases.

Does Fold delete old articles?

Fold saves posts when feeds successfully refresh. iOS controls background refresh timing, so posts that disappear before a refresh may not be captured. Feed refreshes do not remove downloaded articles. Unsubscribing removes unstarred articles from that feed and keeps starred articles. Deleting the app removes its local library unless you restore a backup.

What happens when I open an article?

Open an article to read its saved text immediately. Fold automatically tries to load missing article text, with calm Literata typography and adjustable, accessible text sizing. You can open the original if more content is only available there.

Does it work offline?

Saved text can be read without a connection. Fold caches images as you read and quietly prepares recent starred articles on suitable networks. Media is limited by available cache space and may still need a connection.

Can I import my feeds from another app?

Yes. Fold imports OPML, the standard subscription format supported by most RSS readers, including Feedly, NetNewsWire, and Reeder. Export from your current app, then choose Import OPML when adding a feed or in Settings.

Does it sync between my devices?

Not yet. Fold is iPhone-only for now and keeps your library on your device. Sync, iPad, and Mac aren’t part of the first release, and there’s no date for them yet.

Is my data private?

Fold has no account, collection server, or analytics SDK. Publisher requests go directly to websites and media hosts. Sharing and exporting sends the content you choose to your selected destination.

Can I use Fold with AI tools?

Fold can share the article text it has saved, or the original link. Preview-only content is identified when sharing. You can set a custom prefix (like a prompt) that gets prepended every time you share, ready to paste into the tool you choose.

What devices does Fold support?

iPhone with iOS 26.4 or later. iPad, Mac, and sync are deferred beyond the initial release.
