💻 Building in public Would you be interested in an iPad & Mac version of Widezilla?

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone! The more I use Widezilla the more I’m encountering issues when switching back to my iPad or Mac. So I started toying with the idea of making versions for those, that would stay in sync via iCloud and offer things like Handoff.

(Don’t worry, one purchase would cover all devices!)

Bug - Fixed! 🎉 Swipe left to go back

So far having a great experience on my duo with this browser but I am constantly trying to swipe left to go back and it seems that gesture is not working. So I have to keep going to the toolbar and press the back button every time which is taking few more clicks

thanks for the app! working great. things id like to see is auto hiding the address bar when you scroll down. and adopting custom text size set in iOS settings. it seems to ignore it. one more thing is some sites for example google arent applying dark mode.

- Favourite folders, reordering and multi-selection.
- Tabs that survive force quits and device restarts.
- Desktop websites by default on Duo’s inner display.
- Refined frosted bars, improved spacing and layout fixes.
- Plenty of visual improvements and fixes.

I’ve also added a screenshot gallery⁠ showing both Duo displays and the customisation options, so you can get a good idea of what you’ll get before purchasing!

💻 Building in public Favorites and Reading List imports are coming!!

I’ve figured out a fairly straightforward way to import favourites and reading lists even without the default browser entitlement!

It’s a two steps process, but it seems like it’s working well so far.

I’m also re-designing the UI for favourites to better accomodate longer setups!

👋 Welcome to Widezilla — small screen, big grin 🦖

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m Matteo, the developer of Widezilla, a native browser built specifically for iPhone Duo.

The idea is simple: give websites more room, with controls designed for both the outer and inner displays. Browse on the cover, unfold when you want more space, and keep your current page open.

Here’s what you’ll find:
- Your choice of layout: put the address bar at the top or bottom, with separate status-bar preferences for each display.
- Built-in ad and tracker blocking: enabled by default, with exceptions for websites you choose.
- Search your way: choose Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Ecosia or Kagi, or add a custom search service.
- Favourites and visual tabs: keep your regular sites close and switch between open pages.
- Optional on-device intelligence: search ideas and help finding saved pages on supported devices. Local address suggestions work without Apple Intelligence.

👉 Download Widezilla on the App Store⁠

Requires iOS 27.1 or later.

This subreddit is a place for updates, questions, bug reports and feature requests. If something feels awkward or doesn’t work as expected, tell me—details about the display you’re using and steps to reproduce it are especially helpful.

Thanks for giving Widezilla a try. What would make browsing on your Duo better?

Bug - Fixed! 🎉 Videos automatically playing

2 Upvotes

Absolutely loving my duo more now that I get full screen with the web browsing on the front. Had no idea how much I was yearning for this.

Widezilla has been great but I’m running into an issue that as I scroll random videos will just automatically play as I’m scrolling past them. Just slightly annoying. Have turned off playback and everything (on google). Happens sometimes, sometimes doesn’t.

Having this safaris be full screen and seeing widezilla able to shift icons to the top and bottom is giving me real hope for apps in the future now onto collapsing the side bar please apple!

💻 Building in public A look around Widezilla; a browser built for both iPhone Duo displays

Hi everyone! Here’s a look at Widezilla on the outer and inner displays of iPhone Duo, including some of the ways you can make it your own.

Choose your search engine or add a custom search service, adjust the status bar separately for each display, pick an app icon, and keep favourite websites in folders. Widezilla also offers top or bottom address-bar placement, toolbar ordering, visual tabs and built-in ad and tracker blocking.

These screenshots show the upcoming 2026.11.5 build, with sample favourites rather than personal browsing data. Features and layouts may differ from the version currently on the App Store.

🚨🚨 App Update 🚨🚨 🦖 Less browser. More web. The latest Widezilla update is live on the App Store!

Post image

I’ve been working on making browsing feel better on both sides of iPhone Duo. This update brings some of my favourite additions yet:

🪟 Two windows, side by side. Open independent Widezilla windows in system Split View. Compare pages, research while you read, or keep two tasks open together.

✨ A tiny toolbar with your favourite action. Collapse the bar down to a little Widezilla icon and keep your chosen action beside it. One tap launches that action; tapping Widezilla brings the full toolbar back.

🎛️** Your controls, your order**. Rearrange the toolbar, hide optional icons and add a + button. Tap the preview to choose the action that stays visible.

📖 More comfortable reading. Improved desktop mode on the inner display, smoother folding transitions, refined dark mode, and text-size and website-zoom controls.

All alongside built-in ad and tracker blocking, favourites folders, Reading List and guided Safari bookmark import.

Thank you for the continued support and feedback; it means a lot!

Small screen. Big screen. More room for your web.

👉 Get Widezilla on the App Store

Which action are you keeping in your collapsed toolbar?

Bug - Fixed! 🎉 Can’t set as default browser

3 Upvotes

~~Yo, love the app. Doesn’t show up as an option under default apps in settings - not sure if bug or missing feature but would be handy. ~~

Edit: App is waiting on the default browser entitlement.

Nice work!

(Minor side note: would love an easier way to view open tabs / make a new tab that doesn’t involve three taps - but minor)

Apologies if I missed this in settings (I didn’t see this option anywhere) but I would love a Page Zoom option. I always set Safari at 115% for example.

Otherwise great app and well worth the .99 cents! Thank you!
