Inspiration
It started with a simple question: could a spare Android tablet become a second monitor for a PC?
The screen was already there. Instead of leaving it unused, the idea was to give it a new purpose. That idea became FOLD: turning a device you already have into more room to work.
What it does
FOLD gives your Windows 11 PC an extra screen using an Android phone or tablet.
This isn't screen mirroring. You get a separate workspace where you can move windows, keep reference material open, or put another app beside your main screen.
Connect over USB or a trusted local Wi-Fi network, use touch to interact with Windows, and rotate the device to suit your setup. No account, no ads, and no cloud relay. Just another screen, using hardware you already own.
FOLD requires Windows 11 (x64) and Android 8.0 or newer. No root is needed. Phones and tablets use the same Android app, though tablets give you more desktop space. Compatibility can vary by device. Windows 10, Linux, macOS, and iPadOS are not supported.
