SET UP FOLD COUNTING

Crease Meter counts folds with two automations in Apple's Shortcuts app: one runs Log a Fold when you close your phone, the other runs Log an Unfold when you open it. A fold and an unfold together count as one. The app shows these same steps the first time you open it, and you can bring them back any time from Settings, under Shortcuts Setup.

WHEN YOU CLOSE IT

  • Open Shortcuts. Tap Automation, then tap +
  • Tap Display, then tap Opened or Closed
  • Tap Closed, then tap Next
  • Tap New Blank Automation, then Add Action
  • Search Crease Meter. Tap Log a Fold
  • Tap Done

WHEN YOU OPEN IT

  • Tap + again. Tap Display, then Opened or Closed
  • Tap Opened, then tap Next
  • Add Action, search Crease Meter
  • Tap Log an Unfold, then tap Done

MAKE BOTH SILENT

  • Tap the automation you just made
  • Turn off Ask Before Running, tap Don't Ask, tap Done
  • Do the same for the other one

Two automations, no banners. Then it counts itself.

THE COUNT IS MISSING FOLDS

Open the Shortcuts app and check that both automations are on and set to run immediately, without asking first.

MILESTONE ALERTS

Milestone cards land at 1,000, 5,000, 10,000 and 25,000 folds. Turn on Notifications for Crease Meter in iPhone Settings to get them.

WATCH AND WIDGET

The watch app and widget mirror your phone's count. Open Crease Meter on your phone to bring them up to date.
