Plan backward from a deadline, with the plan list beside its steps when open
Does Ready Time work on iPhone Duo?
Yes, since version 3.11, and seen in a recording from the iPhone Duo simulator: open, the plan list sits beside the selected plan; closed, the running plan carries on on the cover.
- Simulator verifiedIvan Tse, the developer, in a post on their blog (October 12, 2026), which describes Ready Time 3.11 on iPhone Duo, and in a submission to FoldHunt on October 23, 2026, with a recording from the iPhone Duo simulator on YouTube. The App Store seller is Nerd Tower LLC, and the App Store page links to getreadytime.com.

About Ready Time
Ready Time works backward from your deadline. Add your steps (pack, shower, drive), set the time you need to be ready, and it works out when to start each step and sends an alert for each one. A running plan shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and plans can be shared with family and friends.
Ivan Tse’s post about version 3.11 says that on an open iPhone Duo the plan list sits beside the selected plan, and that closing the phone keeps the running plan going on the cover. The App Store description also lists a wide-screen layout for iPad and iPhone Duo, and Ivan’s recording from the simulator shows the plan list and steps side by side open, and the steps on the cover.
