Description

Every other messaging app races to deliver instantly. Fold does the opposite on purpose: you fold your note into a paper airplane and throw it across a real map, and it takes real-world time to arrive. The time is shaped by the actual distance between you and your friend, the plane you chose, and the live wind along its route. A message to someone across town might land in minutes. One to the other side of the planet can take days or weeks. You can open the map and watch it fly.
