Built for iPhone Duo

CreateDeck on iPhone Duo

The foldable iPhone gives you two screens: a tall outer display when it's closed and a wide inner display when you open it like a book. CreateDeck is laid out for both, so you can capture an idea closed, then unfold to plan the week or read the teleprompter.

CreateDeck on iPhone Duo open display showing the Today screen: the next video to film, an Open teleprompter button and the week's queue in a centred column, with the tab bar down the right side.
Open, Today. Your next video to film and the rest of the queue sit in a centred column. The background fills the whole inner display and the tab bar moves to the side.

The inner display

Unfold it. Nothing stretches.

A phone layout pulled across a screen this wide looks wrong, with lines too long to read and buttons a long way apart. So every CreateDeck screen keeps phone proportions in a centred column, and the extra width goes to the things that use it.

Teleprompter. The script runs the full width of the inner display. Brightness and reading speed stay on the edges, out of the way of the words.

Calendar. Plan the week on the big screen: the streak, the write and film queues, and every posting slot, at the size you're used to.

Half open

The record button stays off the fold.

Stand the Duo half open like a book and the middle of the screen is the hinge. That's exactly where a centred record button would land. CreateDeck moves the record button and the Script and Notes switch into the left half, so you can start a take without pressing on the crease.

Book pose. Record and Script | Notes sit in the left half. The sliders stay at the edges and the script still reads across both halves.

The outer display

Closed, it's still the whole app.

On the closed Duo the clock and status icons sit in a column down the side instead of across the top. CreateDeck's tab bar runs down that column, the headers stay clear of it, and scrolling chip rows stop before they reach it.

Today. What to film next, one tap from the teleprompter. The tab bar runs vertically beside the clock.

Ideas. Search and filter your backlog. The filter chips scroll and stop short of the status column.

Teleprompter. Film without opening it. The script, sliders and record button all fit the narrower screen.

How the fold-aware layout works

CreateDeck doesn't swap in a different app when you open the Duo. It's the same screens, sized for whichever display you're looking at.

  • Inner display, held sideways: each screen sits in a centred column a little wider than a phone, with the background running edge to edge. The tab bar moves down the side.
  • Inner display, held upright: the column stays centred and the floating tab bar returns to the bottom.
  • Half open like a book: lists, scripts and the paywall keep their centred column across the fold. The teleprompter's record button and Script and Notes switch move to the left half.
  • Outer display: the full app, with the tab bar in the side column next to the status bar. The welcome screen's headline wraps instead of cutting off, and the voice-capture waveform fits inside its card.
  • The wide tools stay wide: the teleprompter's script and the video editor's preview and timeline use the whole inner display.

Everything else works the way it does on any iPhone: talk for 30 seconds, pick a hook, get the script, film it, and post it. If you're new to the app, the full flow is on the home page.

iPhone Duo questions

Does CreateDeck work on iPhone Duo?

Yes. Version 1.1.4 adds a layout built for iPhone Duo, covering both the closed outer display and the open inner display. It is the same CreateDeck app from the App Store, with the same plans.

What changes when I unfold it?

Each screen moves into a centred column a little wider than a phone, so lists and scripts keep their proportions instead of stretching across the whole inner display. Backgrounds still run edge to edge. Held sideways, the tab bar sits down the side; held upright, it returns to the bottom. The teleprompter and the video editor use the full width.

Does it work when the Duo is closed?

Yes. On the outer display you get the whole app: Today, Ideas, Calendar, the hook and script steps, the teleprompter, review, and settings. The tab bar runs down the side next to the status bar, and nothing slides under the clock.

What happens to the teleprompter when the Duo is half open?

With the Duo half open like a book, the record button and the Script and Notes switch move to the left half of the screen, so you never press a button on the fold. The brightness and speed sliders stay at the edges, and the script itself keeps reading across the full width.

Do I need a separate app or subscription for iPhone Duo?

No. iPhone Duo support comes with the regular CreateDeck update. Free, Pro and Studio work the same on the Duo as on any other iPhone. See pricing.
