Pitch

Halfpage is a typewriter writing app for the iPhone Duo. Half-fold the phone and the page sits on the top half, with a mechanical keyboard filling the bottom half. Each key makes a typewriter sound, the caret moves like a type head, and the page has paper grain. Two skins, Classic and Midnight, change how the machine looks. Halfpage costs $2.99 once, with no subscriptions, no ads, no in-app purchases and no accounts. It also runs on any iPhone or iPad on iOS 27, with the keyboard below the page.

Angles

  1. A typewriter that only exists because the phone folds. (Lead with this one.)
  2. Half-fold your iPhone Duo and the top half becomes a page while the bottom half becomes a keyboard.
  3. A $2.99 writing app with no subscriptions, no ads and no accounts.
