Hand over your phone to show photos without your whole camera roll, a page on each side
Does TakeALook work on iPhone Duo?
Yes, since version 2.0: open it like a book for a photo on each page, set it on a table with the photo standing, or stand it as a tent facing your guest.
- App Store confirmedTorn Metal LLC, the developer, in a submission to FoldHunt on October 24, 2026, and on the TakeALook website. The App Store seller is Torn Metal LLC. The release notes for version 2.1 (released October 25, 2026) say 2.0 added iPhone Duo support and describe the book, tabletop and tent layouts. The YouTube short we watched is a render.

Stand it as a tent facing your guest and the slideshow plays by itself.

About TakeALook
TakeALook, from Torn Metal, is for handing your phone to someone to show them photos without giving them your whole camera roll. Pick an album, a date range or a few photos and videos, and the viewer you hand over can’t leave that set. Version 2.0 added a slideshow, saving a set as an album, and iPhone Duo support. It never edits or deletes your photos.
On iPhone Duo, open it like a book for a page on each side, turned together with Sync Pages. Set on a table, the photo stands on the upright half over its own reflection, with the controls and a map on the flat half; stood as a tent facing your guest, the slideshow plays by itself. The developer’s video of the poses is a render.
