Butterfly paint prints, pressed by folding your iPhone Duo

Remember folding paper over a blob of wet paint to make a butterfly? Paint & Fold turns your iPhone Duo’s fold into the press. Paint, close it like a book, open it to peel apart a print. Close slowly for tight blots, faster for bold spreads. Layer, save, share.

Hi everyone, I’m James, an iOS developer and designer in London.
When the iPhone Duo arrived I wanted to make something that only works on a phone that folds. The first thing that came to mind was the butterfly prints we all made as kids: a blob of paint, fold the paper, peel it open.
Paint & Fold uses the fold itself as the press. Tap for thick blobs, drag for thin trails, then close the phone. How you close it matters: slowly gives tight, tidy blots, quicker spreads the paint wide, and leaving it shut adds extra bleed. Open it and the print peels apart from the crease, with frayed edges and ridges, so no two come out the same. You can also paint over a finished print and fold again to build up layers.
It’s a one-off $0.99 and collects no data at all.
I’d love to see what you make, so post your prints below. And tell me what you’d want next.
