Give repeated notesa useful shape.

Fold gives each folder a reusable set of fields, with an open writing area in every note. Capture ideas quickly now, then find the important details later.

Why Fold

The problem is not writing it down. It is finding the useful part again.

A blank note is easy to start, but important details can disappear inside a long page. A database can organize those details, but it takes work to set up and maintain. Fold sits in the useful middle.

Capture

Start writing without building a database first.

Recognize

See the same kinds of details in the same place across a folder.

Find

Search folder names, field labels and values, tags, checklists, and writing—not only titles.

How it works

A small system that stays out of the way.

Choose the fields for a folder once. Fold uses them when you write, browse, sort, and search, while every note keeps an open space for anything that does not fit a field.

Set up the details you tend to repeat.

Start with a template, add your own fields, or ask Fold to suggest a set for you to review.

Search every part of the note.

Fold searches folder names, field labels and values, tags, checklist text, and open writing, then shows the strongest matches together.

Scan a folder without opening every note.

Sort, filter, and recognize the details that matter because each note shares a familiar shape.

Eight familiar field types.

TextNumberURLDateImageCheckboxToggleRating

Add text, numbers, links, dates, images, checkboxes, toggles, or ratings. Turn on checklist mode when the whole folder is built around tasks.

Made for the phone already in your hand.

Visual folders on Home. Structured detail and open writing inside every note.

A lightweight system

The folder is the format.

The structure stays inside the folder instead of becoming a separate project. The same small set of fields helps you write, browse, sort, and find what matters.

The right fields are ready when you start.

A Books folder can include Author and Rating. A Cars folder can include Price and Test Drive. Choose those fields once, and each new note begins with them ready.

The useful middle

Less blank. Less busy. More retrievable.

Compare how it feels to set up, write, browse, and search. Fold adds a reusable set of fields without asking you to maintain a full workspace.

OthersA general workspace can organize the same details, but its properties, views, and templates add more choices to set up and maintain.

FoldFold turns repeated details into reusable fields and keeps the rest of the note open for writing.

Ways to use Fold

Different notes. One clear pattern.

Start with a category you already return to. Give it the details that matter, then keep the rest of the note open.

Keep the author, rating, and finish date visible, with room underneath for quotes and your own thoughts.
Reading Books, papers, and research
Keep prep time, source, and rating consistent while leaving space for substitutions and what you would change next time.
Recipes Cooking notes that improve over time
Keep the client, deadline, rate, and follow-up date easy to scan, with the full meeting notes in the same place.
Client work Projects, meetings, and follow-ups
Compare price, mileage, link, and test-drive notes without squeezing the decision into a spreadsheet.
Car research Shortlists and comparisons
Track status, dates, and links while keeping the rough thinking that does not belong in a field.
Projects Plans, progress, and working notes
Keep places, dates, booking links, and costs together, with an open page for the parts of the trip you want to remember.
Travel Plans before the trip and memories after

Your notes begin on your device

Fold works before you connect an account or cloud service.

Local by default. Start writing without creating an account.

Under your control. Create encrypted backups and exports, then choose where to store them.

AI only when you choose it. Use on-device Apple Intelligence when available, or connect a cloud provider and review what will be sent.

For notes you plan to use again

Let the folder remember the format.

Start with one category you already repeat. See what becomes easier to capture, compare, and find.
