FoldRender

Native document renderer and on-device git client for the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 原生文档渲染器 + 端上 git 客户端

Overview

FoldRender is a native document renderer and on-device git client built for the Galaxy Z Fold. It renders Markdown, code, PDFs, and notebooks with native Jetpack Compose (not a WebView), and unfolding the device is a pure relayout — no reflow jank. Git clone, diff, commit, and push happen entirely on-device.

Who it’s for

Developers and power users on foldable Android who want to read code and docs and run git without a laptop.

What it does

How it works

  1. The reading half of a laptop-free loop

    FoldRender exists to make a phone enough to read a codebase on. Browse a repository and it renders what is in it rather than showing you raw text.

  2. It renders nearly everything

    Markdown with mermaid diagrams, LaTeX and callouts; source files; JSON, YAML and TOML; CSV; images; PDF; HTML; logs; and Jupyter notebooks.

  3. And it writes back

    Clone, pull, diff, commit and push without opening a laptop — so reading on a phone does not mean the work has to wait.

  4. Built for the unfolded screen

    Unfolded, the file tree sits left and the document right. The large inner display is the design target, not an afterthought.

Built with

A native Android application, with foldrender.dev as a static site deployed from the same repository. Release tooling publishes the Play listing from the repo, so the version the site advertises and the version on the store move together.

Current status

Live on Google Play, with the site at foldrender.dev.

Pricing

Free.
