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.

How it works
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
