Terms & Disclaimer

Last updated November 2, 2026

In short: FoldTally is a fun, informational app. Its numbers are estimates, it's provided as-is, and it isn't responsible for your phone's hinge or anything else about your device.

Licence

FoldTally is licensed to you under Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement. These terms add to it. Where they conflict, Apple's agreement applies.

Estimates, not guarantees

Fold counts, hinge angles, session times, locations, "hinge life" percentages and "years left" are estimates for your interest only. They can be incomplete or wrong. For example, folds aren't counted while iOS has stopped the app, background detection can occasionally miss or misread a fold, and angles detected in the background are approximate.

The "rated folds" figure used for hinge life is a setting you can change, not a figure published by Apple. It says nothing about when or whether your hinge will wear out. Don't rely on FoldTally for warranty, insurance, resale, repair or any other decision about your device.

Your device

FoldTally only observes your phone: it reads the hinge sensor and the magnetometer. It does not control, adjust or stress the hinge. You're responsible for how you use and handle your phone. Please don't fold your phone more than you normally would to test or "beat" the app.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the developer is not responsible for any damage to, wear of, or malfunction of your phone or its hinge, or for any loss arising from your use of the app or reliance on its data.

No warranty

FoldTally is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and accuracy. Some places don't allow these exclusions, so some of them may not apply to you.

Battery and location

Optional background counting uses location services and sensors, which use some extra battery. You can turn it off at any time in Settings.

Not affiliated with Apple

FoldTally is an independent app and isn't made, sponsored or endorsed by Apple Inc. iPhone is a trademark of Apple Inc.

Changes

These terms may be updated. The latest version will be on this page with a new date.
