Foldlings: Foldable Friends
Paper pets you fold to life
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Fold paper friends to life. Care for them, help them build, and collect them to trade with friends.
Fold a sheet of paper into a tiny friend and watch it take its first steps. Every Foldling you fold comes to life in your Haven, a cut-paper world of weather, seasons and surprises, where they play, nap, make best friends and wait for you to come back.
MADE FOR IPHONE DUO
Fold your phone to fold the paper. Bend it and your Haven tips, friends sliding toward the crease. Close it and your new friend hops out onto the cover screen to keep you company, then open it again and everyone is right where you left them. On every other iPhone and on iPad, simple touch gestures guide each crease.
FOLD SOMETHING WONDERFUL
Follow the glowing corners and dotted lines, one satisfying crease at a time. Choose their paper, earn stars for careful folds and chain perfect creases into streaks. Even the friends you find in lanterns and eggs are folded by your own hands, and every now and then a new friend comes out sparkly.
A HAVEN THAT'S ALIVE
Tap a tree and leaves fall and birds take off. Hold a finger still and a butterfly lands on it. Plant a garden that grows over real hours. Leave a treat in the visitor dish and find out who came while you were away; every wild visitor leaves a memento the first time. Each season brings its own visitor and papers, and holidays bring their own surprises, including holiday friends who come only on the day itself.
LITTLE FRIENDS, BIG PERSONALITIES
Feed them their favorite treats, give them a gentle pet and throw a ball for them to fetch. Every Foldling has its own quirks, markings and memories, and as your bond grows they share stories from their lives. Friends become best friends, visit one another and stay for sleepovers. Dress them up: every outfit does something, from a chef's hat that makes meals go further to a wizard's hat that turns tricks into spells.
MAKE A HOME TOGETHER
Build paper houses and fill them with furniture and wallpaper. Invite friends in for tea, a story by the fire, a dance or a party. Your first home is free.
REBUILD THE WORLDS
Every world has a landmark in ruins: a Greenhouse, a Lighthouse, an Observatory and more. Send your friends on building shifts, then drop each piece into place yourself. Rebuilt landmarks bring lasting rewards and a rare friend who moves in.
LANTERNS, EGGS AND LEGENDS
Light paper lanterns with the cranes you earn to find rare papers, outfits and remarkable friends: the nine-tailed Kitsune, the Moon Rabbit, Seiryu the azure dragon and more. Hatch paper eggs, and watch friends molt into Golden, Galaxy or Prism paper. Every lantern shows its exact odds before you open it, and lanterns are only ever earned by playing.
SEVEN WORLDS
The Meadow, the Seaside, Snowy Peaks, Autumn Woods, Desert Oasis, Sakura Grove and Firefly Night, each with its own weather, wild visitors and things to do.
PLAY TOGETHER
Six arcade games starring your Foldlings: run a lantern-lit shrine path, glide through lantern gates, sled down snowy hills, fish, drop cranes down a festival board and stack your friends sky-high. Or take them into Paper Battles, fast and friendly duels on floating paper stages: train against five Dojo masters, or challenge someone nearby.
TRADE FOLDLINGS WITH FRIENDS
Meet in person and trade with Paper Post on nearby devices, no internet needed. Send friends over for a playdate, and every Foldling carries a passport that remembers everyone who has cared for them.
ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
Add the Haven widget to see a friend in their world, what they're up to and who's on the way home. Pet them or give them a treat right from your home screen.
No ads, no subscriptions, no account needed. Play offline; your Haven is backed up through iCloud.
Optional one-time purchases add new Foldling friends, worlds, papers and hats, each shown in full before you buy. Paper cranes and lanterns are only ever earned by playing: nothing random is for sale.
Ratings & Reviews
Foldlings 1.2:
Your friends have been busy while you were away. They planted a garden, learned to cook, and started dreaming at night. Come see what's new.
Expert folding
• For the origami folders out there. Diagrams only, no hints, much tighter grading, and paper that remembers every slip. Earn the Pure, Clean and True seals - if you can.
Grow your own
• There's a little paper garden in your Haven now, with a picket fence, a scarecrow and a paper crow who won't stop hopping. Sow carrots, rice, wheat, berries or a glowing star vine, then check back through the day as they sprout, leaf, flower and ripen. Water a thirsty row and it grows faster. Water it twice and you'll pick an extra one.
Cook together
• Open the kitchen from the Haven's Tools. Your friends teach you seven recipes as you grow closer. Drop the ingredients in, stir the pot (a steady hand earns a Perfect), and let it bake on a real clock. One pot of Veggie Stew feeds everyone.
Every holiday has its own feast, too. This Halloween it's Pumpkin Pie for the whole Haven, with Gingerbread, Hot Cocoa and Mooncakes still to come.
Feed them by hand
• No more tossing treats. Hold one out and watch your friend beg, follow your finger and hop up to reach it, then nibble it down bite by bite. Every friend has their own tastes to discover, and meals shared at breakfast, lunch and dinner are a little more special.
Sweet dreams
• When a friend falls asleep, a little dream cloud floats above them. Tap it to peek inside. A mountain of their favorite treat? A day out with their best friend? Each one keeps a dream journal for you to fill.
A Haven that feels lived in
• Winding paths and stone lanterns that glow after dark. A mailbox whose flag pops up when your daily gift arrives. A picnic at lunchtime and a crackling campfire at night, with everyone gathered round. Laundry on the line, a wind chime in the breeze, mist on early mornings, and hills that drift as you look around.
Flowers for friends
• Planting got a glow-up. See exactly where a seed will land, tap any plant to care for it and see which visitors it attracts, and pick a bouquet for a friend. They'll remember it.
A warmer welcome
• New here? The welcome tour has been redone, from the first fold to your first friend, who now unfolds right before your eyes. The first day is shorter and sweeter, and your first Paper Battle is a gentle training match.
A little polish
• Settings, all in one place
• Text that grows with your text size, plus Reduce Motion support
• Gentler haptics while you fold
• On iPhone Duo, prop it up and your Haven pops up like a book.
• Lots of bug fixes, like keeping your Haven safe across devices and making sure trades always land on both phones
Trick-or-Treat runs until November 1. Go collect some candy!
Thanks for playing!
