Field notes
On the Duo setup, the outer display acts as a mirror while the owner keeps the controls; on other iPhones, the page describes selfie mode or a 10-second timer. Reveal text can be custom and set large enough to read across a room. The app is also described as adding face-aware zooms, captions, and synchronized countdown and reveal sounds, with output saved in vertical 9:16 format.
