GIS FOR THE MAC

The map of a place, and the reasons behind it.

Open your GeoPackages, shapefiles and GeoTIFFs, style them and print a map. Then ask where a home, an apartment building or a new site fits, and see the evidence behind every answer.

Tōhoku, March 2011
Fold map of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake sequence: more than two thousand earthquakes as glowing points off Japan's northeast coast, ringed by contours of modelled shaking intensity, over shaded relief and sea floor
Made in Fold: 2,158 earthquakes from March and April 2011 over USGS's modelled shaking.

Everything a map needs, made for the Mac.

Fold reads the files you already have, draws them on the GPU and prints them cleanly. It runs natively on Apple silicon.

Opens what you have

GeoPackage, Shapefile, GeoJSON, KML and KMZ, FlatGeobuf, GeoParquet and CSV. GeoTIFF and cloud-optimised GeoTIFF over the web, images with a world file, and Zarr.

Styles that say something

Single symbols, categories, graduated colours, rules with expressions, colour ramps and hillshade. Bring your QGIS layer styles with you.

Print a real map

Export a crisp vector PDF with labels, street names and the right credits, ready to send or print.

Any projection

Work in the coordinate system your data was made in. The basemap is redrawn to match, so nothing is stretched.

Keep an area offline

Save the basemap for a site before you go into the field. Fold shows the size before it downloads.

Your files stay yours

No account and no upload. Your projects and data stay on your Mac.

FIND SITES

Say what matters. See what qualifies, and why.

Set the rules for a site, an apartment building or a home: walking distance to transit, out of the flood zone, the right zoning, the size you need. Fold checks every parcel against every rule and ranks what's left.

Each result shows its evidence. When a rule has no data for a place, Fold says so. It never quietly counts it as a pass.

A world map underneath, quietly.

Fold includes a calm OpenStreetMap basemap in light and dark, with place and street names. It sits behind your data instead of competing with it.

Private by design.

Fold has no account and no tracking. To draw the basemap, our map server sees which area you're viewing. Turn on offline mode and it sees nothing.

Free to look. Pay when you're choosing.

The viewer is free, with every format, style and the PDF map. Find Sites starts with a free trial.
