## What is OutSpan?

Use the whole outer display in Safari.

When your iPhone Duo is folded, Safari keeps its controls in a strip along the side of the outer display, and web pages stop short of them. OutSpan widens pages into that space, so articles, images, and everyday browsing fill the screen. It does the same on the inner screen when Safari shares it with another app.

Choose Wide to expand the page layout, or Off to restore the website's original layout. Your choice is remembered across websites, tabs, reloads, and Safari restarts. Any site can keep a layout of its own, and a tap beside Safari's controls switches the site you're on.

• Pages use the full width of the outer display
• Works in Split View on the inner screen
• One choice that follows you as you browse
• A layout of its own for any site you pick
• A quick switch beside Safari's controls for the site you're on
• Optional blur behind Safari's controls, with adjustable strength
• Simple Wide and Off controls in Safari's page menu
• No account and no tracking. Everything runs on your iPhone
• A built-in guide to turn on the extension

SITE LAYOUTS
Keep a layout for each site. In the OutSpan app, open Site Layouts, add a site by typing its address or pasting a link, and choose Wide or Off. Or, in Safari, turn on Only on this site in the OutSpan menu. A site's layout covers its subdomains too, and every other site follows your choice.

QUICK SWITCH
OutSpan's brackets sit on a round button beside Safari's own buttons. Tap it to switch the site you're on between Wide and Off. The page changes at once, and the choice is kept for that site. If you'd rather not see the button, turn it off in the OutSpan menu.

SPLIT VIEW
Open your iPhone Duo and put Safari beside another app. Safari keeps its controls on the outer edge of its half of the screen, and OutSpan widens pages beneath them. The first time, choose which side Safari's controls are on in the OutSpan menu. Your choice is remembered. When Safari has the inner screen to itself, it shows its controls along the top, and pages already use the full width.

FREE TRIAL AND UNLOCK
Off is always free. Wide is free for 3 days from the moment you first turn it on. After that, Wide requires Full Unlock, a one-time in-app purchase. There is no subscription.

REQUIREMENTS
Requires iPhone Duo. On other iPhone models, Safari already uses the full screen width, so OutSpan has nothing to change. Turn on the extension in Settings > Apps > Safari > Extensions, and allow it on the websites you want to widen.

Most websites widen cleanly. A few with unusual layouts may not; tap the quick switch on one of those, and its original layout returns at once and is kept for that site. Safari's side controls stay on top of the widened page.

### 2/5 — Wide layout doesn’t work

*2026-11-04*

For some reason the wide layout doesn’t work for me. I have to use 2 finger expand to zoom in the page to use the side column. Making the extension not very useful. Maybe this is due to other extension causing conflict (I have ABP installed)

### 5/5 — Must Have Extension for Duo

*2026-11-03*

this was the very first thing i went asking reddit for when i got my Duo and its been great. safari have come with this by default.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-10-30*

Followed direction to the letter and non websites go wide. Have it set to wide and all sites allowed. I think it needs an easier on / off mode.

### 3/5 — When it works it works. When it doesn’t I have to turn it on and off constantly.

*2026-10-29*

Some sites work beautifully. Some have text, ui elements etc behind buttons.

### 4/5 — Solid

*2026-10-29*

It had bugs like zooming in but now it has been Fixed! By far the best Sarfari extension for outer display!

### 2/5 — Can you make this work on rottentomatoes.com?

*2026-10-28*

That is all. Thank you

### 2/5 — It just zooms in and changes minimum scaling

*2026-10-26*

You can just zoom out and it breaks the plugin on most pages.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. This will be addressed in the next update.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-10-25*

Love this little extension. Just wish there was an easier way to toggle it on an off

### 5/5 — Great update, great extension

*2026-10-25*

This is the best that can be done until Apple allows us to hide the toolbar when it’s not needed altogether. I love the update, it seems to stop banners and ads from hiding behind the toolbar buttons where they became unusable. Very happy with this extension!!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 3/5 — Good When it Works

*2026-10-24*

The app/extension is great when it works on the duo. There are many instances where it doesn’t work as of right now though: particularly when certain webpages have an ad that briefly covers the screen. The extension will bug out and go back to the default Safari view on the Duo. So it has great potential, but still needs some more work. Will update my review when new version/updates come out.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Will address this in the next update.
