Chicken Step

Chicken Step is an offline workspace for designing clear, reusable origami instructions.

Create a project, split the fold sequence into steps and draw directly on a scalable paper canvas. Add mountain-fold and valley-fold lines, direction arrows and numbered markers. Copy the previous step when the next instruction builds on the same shape, then adjust only what changed.

Key features:

- Mountain and valley fold lines
- Direction arrows and numbered step markers
- Zoom, pan and optional snap-to-grid
- Undo and redo while editing
- Automatic local saving
- Blank steps or copies of the previous step
- Project search, favorites and sorting
- Multi-page PDF export
- Versioned JSON backup and restore
- Light, dark and system themes
- No account, ads or required internet connection

Each PDF page is generated from the stored vector objects rather than from a screenshot, keeping fold lines and labels readable. Projects remain on the device unless you explicitly export or share a file.

Chicken Step is a diagramming tool. It does not simulate paper physics or guarantee that a designed model is physically foldable.
