On the Duo: Duo-native. Its two-column layout went out in version 1.3.5 (4 September); its maker has shown the note list beside the note on the open Duo in Apple's simulator, and the list alone on the cover screen. Checked October 7, 2026.

About Smolpad

A Markdown editor where every note is a plain .md file synced through your own iCloud Drive: syntax that dims or hides as you type, task lists that check, tables and pictures stored beside the note, folders, pins, Spotlight search, Lock Screen widgets and an Apple Watch app. For Mac, iPhone and iPad.

Its two-column layout, the note list beside the editor once the window is wide enough, went out in version 1.3.5 in September, and fits the open iPhone Duo; the cover screen shows the list alone.
