MugBar: Smart Mug Control

Watch, widgets and alerts

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

The complete app for your smart mug: live activity, presets, widgets and Apple Watch. MugBar is the most complete app for your smart mug. Live temperature and one-tap targets on your Home Screen, your Lock Screen, the Dynamic Island, Control Center, your Apple Watch, and Siri. Not a thermometer you have to open an app to read: your mug, on every screen you already look at. EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK - Home Screen widgets with the live temperature - Lock Screen widgets, circular and rectangular - A presets widget that switches targets without opening the app - Live Activity and Dynamic Island while your drink settles - Control Center buttons to open MugBar or start a Live Activity - An alert when you hit target, and before the battery runs out mid-cup ON YOUR WRIST - A full Apple Watch app, not a remote: temperature, ready-in estimate, target, presets, and LED color - Everything carries over from your iPhone automatically ONE-TAP PRESETS - Save your own targets: Espresso, Latte, Green tea, whatever you drink - Each preset gets its own icon and color - Tap one and MugBar sets the mug, and can match its LED ring to the preset - Pick a preset away from your mug and it applies on the next connection SIRI AND SHORTCUTS - "Check my mug" - "Set my mug to 55 degrees" - "Set my mug to Espresso" - Build your own automations in the Shortcuts app FULL CONTROL - Set the target temperature from the app, a widget, your watch, or Siri - Change the mug's LED ring color and rename it - Battery level and charging status at a glance READY WHEN YOU ARE - Pour a fresh cup and MugBar estimates when it will hit your target - A real countdown, not a number you have to watch - When your mug is holding at target, it simply says Ready - The countdown is already on your Lock Screen the moment you pour, no app to open, no button to press PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Talks to your mug directly over Bluetooth - No account, no tracking, no data collected MugBar works with the Ember(R) Mug.
