Made an app with blur effects for folding phones. FlipFold is now on Google Play!
Hey everyone,
I shared FlipFold here a month ago when I was looking for testers. Since then, I’ve made a bunch of changes based on your feedback, and the latest update is now on Google Play.
A tester sent me this video, so I wanted to share it here.
FlipFold adds effects as you open and close your foldable phone. There are three glass styles, plus Screen Flow. You can tweak the effects in Studio.
One thing to know about the glass effects: they use Android’s built-in window blur, so availability depends on your phone, its software and current settings. FlipFold shows whether blur is available. If your phone has “Allow window-level blurs” in Developer options, you can try turning it on and checking FlipFold again. It won’t add blur support to a phone that doesn’t provide it.
Screen Flow and Soft Shade don’t need window blur.
It’s not a launcher, so you keep your home screen and apps as they are. I wanted to keep battery use low from the start, since foldables already have a big inner screen to power.
I will continue working on improving it. Thanks to everyone who helped test it!
Edit - If you like the app, please leave a rating and review on Play Store. Thank you.
