Fanfold: News as Magazines

Read, don't scroll. Unfold a story. Fanfold turns your RSS and Atom feeds into printed magazines, in the spirit of a DIY zine. Instead of an endless feed you get issues with a last page: you read a story to the end, long enough to understand it, not just the headline. A double page on the big screen of the iPhone Duo, a single page on any other iPhone. Turning the page curls the paper, sometimes with a misprint. UNFOLD. SIT DOWN. UNDERSTAND. • No endless feed: every issue has a last page. You can finish. • No algorithm: only the sources you chose yourself. • No push notifications: you decide when you read. WHAT'S INSIDE • The wall: all your magazines at a glance, each with its lead story as a pasted-in print. • Real pages: articles set in a calm serif with drop caps and chapter titles, photos as halftone prints or in full colour – your choice. • To the very end: if a feed only gives a teaser, Fanfold fetches the whole article from the page, as long as the page shows it freely. The source is named at the end – tap it to open the original. • Read a source from start to finish: Fanfold keeps every article and prints numbered issues with the next unread ones, oldest first. Nothing gets lost, nothing comes twice. • The cover: folded shut, the iPhone Duo shows the masthead and the lead photo of your newest issue. • Newsstand: 59 hand-picked sources in eight sections – the big Apple blogs, world news, tech, science, culture and design. One tap and it hangs on your wall. • Just type the website: enter a site name or paste any article link – Fanfold finds the feeds by itself. Or share a link from Safari straight to Fanfold. • Easy to move: import your feeds from Feedly, Inoreader or any other reader as an OPML file. • Read aloud: let your iPhone read an article to you, on device. • Offline: Fanfold fetches your magazines in the background and keeps them on your device, so you can read on the train without signal. • Bookmarks and reading position: pick up exactly where you stopped. The screen stays on while you read. PRIVACY No ads, no tracking, no analytics, no account. Nothing leaves your device except the requests to the feeds you read. ONE PRICE, FOR LIFE Pay once, keep it. No subscription – not now, not later. Made in Zurich by HMZ.
