What’s new
Version 1.3 · Updated October 19, 2026
I'm excited to bring you a new look for Inset on the iPhone and iPad, plus support for iPhone Duo in Inset 1.3! This update gives your previews more room and makes everyday controls easier to reach. Plus, I squashed a few bugs on the Mac app. New on Inset for iPhone and iPad: REFRESHED VIEWER • Enjoy a cleaner layout with grouped controls, less clutter and more space for your live preview. • The Inset status message has moved from the main screen to the new Connections panel, but you can toggle it back on in Settings. • The black background now fits the preview’s proportions, removing unnecessary empty bars in the main Viewer. • Zooming now makes use of the empty space around your preview, so you can see more as you zoom in. CONNECTIONS • Find nearby Macs and manage connections in a new dedicated Connections panel, with clearer connection status and manual connection options. IPHONE DUO • Layouts and fullscreen controls adapt as you open, close, fold or rotate your device. • In the partially folded pose, keep your preview on one screen and use tiled controls on the other to switch sources, enter fullscreen, change settings, and more. Improvements on Inset for Mac: WINDOW SELECTION • More reliably select the intended window for Window and Window Area previews when the Dock, notifications or third-party app overlays get in the way. • Improved handling of transparent and full-display floating windows, so their visible content can be selected without blocking selection of the windows behind them. Additional improvements and fixes: • Improved spacing around rounded corners and camera cutouts. • Improved preview responsiveness and stability when switching sources, changing layouts or moving between inline viewing, fullscreen and Picture in Picture. • Improved Save Snapshot and Copy Frame during live playback, including access to snapshot actions from the preview’s long-press menu. • Improved VoiceOver announcements for the selected source, large-text layouts, caption contrast and support for Reduce Motion.
