I converted the iPhone Duo into a PokéDex!
Hi all, I’m the developer. I’ve been building DexDuo, a fan-made Dex app designed around the iPhone Duo’s fold, and wanted to share it here first since you’re the people who’ll actually use the phone or are interested.
How it uses the Duo
- Closed: the outer screen becomes the red lid, with the big blue lens drawn right around the real camera.
- Unfold it: the Dex powers on across both halves, sprite screen on the left, keypad and description on the right, split exactly on the fold. A robot voice reads the entry and the blue lens flashes with it.
- Fold it halfway: a data screen sweeps open with stats, abilities, moves, evolutions, type matchups and where to find it. Open it flat and you’re back to the keypad.
Other stuff
- All 1,025 entries, in English and Spanish (voice included), and it works offline.
- Track catches per game across 37 regional Dexes. Each completed Dex earns its own region trophy, with a little celebration.
- Team builder with shared weaknesses, and a silhouette quiz (like the anime!)
- Works on any iPhone too: tap the lid to open it, and turn sideways to see both halves.
Price: free. An optional one-time Plus unlock adds tracking, trophies, the team builder, case colors, extra voices and iCloud sync. No ads, no subscription, no tracking.
It’s coming to the App Store soon. More info: intrapixel.com/dexduo
I’d love feedback from future Duo owners:
- Does the halfway fold for details feel natural, or would you rather have a different pose do something?
- What else should the outer screen do while it’s closed?
