why foldout
Why Foldout

One app instead of a stack of subscriptions.

Most of these jobs live in separate apps, each with its own window to hunt down and its own recurring bill. Foldout folds them into one searchable toolbox that runs on your Mac.

Instead of a PDF suite

Merge, split, compress, rotate, redact, number, fill, and sign PDFs - the everyday document chores you reach for a heavyweight suite to handle, in tools that open the instant you need them.

Instead of a converter subscription

Convert and resize images, video, and audio between the formats people actually use - in batches, with your originals left untouched and nothing uploaded anywhere.

Instead of a dev-utilities app

Format JSON, test regex, decode JWTs, convert timestamps and bases, parse URLs, and hash text - the developer scratchpad you keep open all day, kept entirely on your Mac.

Instead of a menu-bar zoo

Clipboard history, window snapping, a keyboard launcher, a screen ruler, and a tidier menu bar - the handful of small utilities you would otherwise stack up one by one, in a single app.

Instead of a random website

Remove backgrounds, run OCR, trace vectors, strip hidden metadata, and read or build QR codes - the jobs you would otherwise paste into some site you do not control, done locally instead.
