Brim
Use the iPhone Duo's outer display in Safari
About
Brim is a lightweight tool that lets web pages take advantage of the iPhone Duo's outer display in Safari. It bridges the gap between the dual‑screen hardware and web content, giving developers a larger canvas without native app development. By enabling full‑screen rendering on the outer display, Brim expands the web experience for Duo users. The solution is simple: it modifies Safari's rendering path to expose the outer screen to web pages.
The case
Who it is for
Developers building web experiences for the iPhone Duo, and Duo users who want to see web pages on the outer display.
What is broken today
On the iPhone Duo, web pages are confined to the inner display, leaving the outer screen unused. This limits the visual real estate available to web developers and users who want a larger canvas for browsing or web apps.
What it does about it
Brim intercepts Safari's rendering pipeline to expose the outer display to web content. It allows web pages to occupy the whole outer screen, enabling full‑screen web experiences on the Duo without native app development.
Why not the obvious alternative
Unlike standard Safari, which only renders to the inner display, Brim gives web pages direct access to the outer screen. This eliminates the need for building separate native apps or using third‑party wrappers, and it works seamlessly within the existing Safari environment.
