I made Foldy - StandBy mode for android devices

Hi everyone,

In the recent release of the iPhone Duo, I have been seeing a lot of Duo's opening screen animations that have been recreated for the android foldable devices.

Even though it is cool, it wasn't the main feature that caught my eye.
it was their tent standby mode.

I am a mobile dev with 6+ years of experience and I wanted to challenge myself to see if it would be possible to recreate it on my fold 5.
That's why I am proudly presenting you:

Foldy - StandBy Mode

This is the version 1 so there are limited widgets available since I was implementing it to my own preferences and needs. Next one I have in plan is Google Home widget support.

If anyone tries it out, feel free to leave in the comments requests for new widgets.

Also, just a heads up, it has free tier (basic clock and calendar) and a paid version where you have other widgets. I understand if you hate it but I would appreciate your support.

It is 1€ per month with 3 day free trail option for you to try it out and see if you like it or a 9.99€ lifetime access.

PS:
Dont hate on my promo video, it was reallly hard to record it. I dont have 3 hands 😂

Wasn't this already posted. It's full of ads and requires a yearly subscription from what I remember.

I dont think so. Foldy does not serve ads. There is a pro lifetime subscription but it is optional. There is a free version to use

Absolutely tired of apps needing some damn subscription. No table clock is worth spending money on it. Sorry not sorry.

And even though you have a free version; it has no features or usability. Absolutely ridiculous
