iPhone Duo
Ready for Duo.
The day gets the whole screen.
On iPhone Duo, Timeline moves its controls to a slim bar at the side, so the schedule fills the outer display — what’s next, the songs, the moments that follow.
Made for the way a wedding moves
A little less to keep in your head.
Make room for the light.
Golden hour, sunset, and blue hour sit right in the schedule, calculated for the venue and date. Open the day in Sun by BSR to plan further.
Give everyone their credit.
Instagram handles are pulled out of the document. Copy one, copy them all, or copy a credits list when it’s time to share the film.
Keep the useful details.
A song title, a mic reminder, a different getting-ready location. Keep notes with the moment, and open the original document for the full picture.
A few things to know.
Does importing need an internet connection?
Timeline reads and sorts documents on your iPhone, including text recognition in photos. Importing works offline. Looking up a venue or opening Maps may need a connection.
What happens to the parts it hides?
They stay in the timeline. Review the hidden items and bring them back whenever you need them. Imported files are also kept so you can check the planner’s original.
Is it only for the wedding day?
A timeline can include multiple days, such as a rehearsal dinner. Late-night moments after midnight stay with the wedding, and times use the venue’s time zone.
When can I download it?
Timeline is in App Store review. There isn’t a public download yet. Follow the Development page for its release status, or get in touch with a question.
