About Foldstep
Last updated: 3 November 2026
Foldstep teaches origami step by step: pick a model and follow it one fold at a time.
How it works
Each step is a single fold, drawn in 2D with a short text. You go forward and back whenever you like, or let a timer move on for you. On the TV, the text reads from the couch and the remote does the rest: your hands stay free for the paper.
Where it is
On foldstep.com, free, and as an app for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.
The models and their creators
We publish traditional models, with sources that document where they come from, and exercises of our own. A model with an author is not added without their permission, and when in doubt it stays out, free or paid.
What is free
Several models and the full player are free. The rest come in packs you buy once, with no subscription.
Who makes it
Foldstep is a product of Webstarted LLC.
