If you want to use the full width of your iPhone Duo's external screen in Safari, use Wider. It's a simple extension that lets you quickly toggle websites into full width mode. Use the Wider toggle button in the right navbar to quickly toggle between normal an Wider mode. Wider doesn't work on every website. If a website doesn't work as expected, you can report it through the app and I'll try to improve compatibility.

Discover the rhythm of your iPhone Duo, one opening at a time. FoldCounter keeps your detailed history on your device and turns it into clear counts, charts and personal milestones. • See today's openings, the current week and month, and your all-time total. • Optionally record closings and explore completed open durations, averages and monthly event history. • Explore opening and closing charts and heatmaps, plus a heatmap of time physically open. • Set separate daily, weekly and monthly opening notification thresholds. • Add widgets for a quick glance at your counts on iPhone and Apple Watch. • Follow the hinge angle while the app is visible; explore angle utilities and games. • Choose light, dark or automatic appearance and your accent color. • Add a starting count for earlier openings without changing recorded history. • Export your records or create and restore backups when you choose. Automatic counting requires Apple Shortcuts automations connected to physical opening and, optionally, closing triggers. Guided setup provides shared shortcuts and helps you test each event. System confirmations and permissions may be required. Launching the app or unlocking the screen does not count as a physical opening. Open duration is not screen-on time. Widget and Watch refresh timing is controlled by the system. Community statistics and leaderboards are visible to everyone. Sign in with Apple to join with your nickname, photo or emoji, total openings and game records. Your public profile is optional and can be deleted in Settings. Usage sharing remains optional. No ads or cross-app tracking. Requires iOS 27.1 or later. Physical opening/closing tracking and hinge visualization require a compatible iPhone Duo.
