Quick overview
Split Screen — Floating Apps is a picture-in-picture (PiP) utility built for iPhone and iPad that places selected content into a movable, resizable floating window. It’s designed to help you keep documents, media, timers, and web pages visible while you use other apps, improving multitasking without switching screens.
Supported viewing modes
- Browser mode: surf web pages inside the floating pane so you can follow online content while using other apps.
- Media mode: display photos and play videos in the PiP window for continuous viewing.
- Timer mode: track time with tools such as a clock, countdown, and stopwatch that remain accessible.
- Read mode: open documents like PDFs, Word files, PPTs, and plain text for focused reading.
Key capabilities
Split Screen includes flexible reading controls (both manual and automatic page-advance options) so you can set content to turn pages on its own or move through them yourself. Additional useful features include a draggable/resizable PiP window, persistent display across tasks, and support for common document and media types.
Alternative option
FloatOn (Free) — a recommended free alternative that offers similar PiP-style floating windows and multitasking conveniences for iOS devices.
