HomeView is now free to download, with an optional one-time HomeView Pro unlock — no subscription. Pro adds unlimited widgets, ambient mode for a wall-mounted iPad, and extra background themes. Already bought HomeView? Thank you — you automatically keep everything you have. There's nothing to buy again. New guided setup: pick your theme, add your first widgets and your first light, and you're ready in under a minute.

New in HomeView 2.4: • Smart tile: one tile that changes with the time of day: the weather in the morning, your agenda in the afternoon, a light in the evening. It shows the exact same card as the normal widget and switches automatically. • Live football scores: follow your favourite team with the live minute and score during a match. Tap the tile for details: goal scorers and cards, refreshed live. • Doorbell pop-up: when someone rings a HomeKit doorbell, a full-screen pop-up with the camera appears and a chime plays, while the app is open. • More in ambient mode: your live score and a running timer now appear in ambient mode too, alongside the music player. • Square corners: an optional sharper look that switches every widget and card from rounded to straight corners. Also: HomeView is now available on Apple TV (beta), plus a range of smaller fixes and refinements.

New in HomeView 2.3: • Indoor & outdoor — a new tile shows an indoor sensor right next to the outdoor temperature, with an arrow for warmer or colder inside. • Music in ambient mode — when something's playing on Sonos, a compact player appears in a corner of the ambient screen: play, skip and a volume slider, without leaving ambient mode. • iPhone nightstand — turn your iPhone into a bedside clock, by hand or automatically while it's charging on its side. • A calmer ambient mode — an optional larger clock that's easy to read across the room, plus gentler protection against screen burn-in. • Smoother throughout — rolling numbers, morphing icons, a Sonos artwork crossfade and lots of small animation touches. Also: curtain controls now follow your chosen icon (up/down or left/right), plus a range of smaller fixes and refinements.

New in 2.2: • Sonos now playing — see and control what's playing on your Sonos speakers straight from your dashboard: play/pause, skip, volume and the queue. On both iPad and iPhone. • Countdown widget — count down the days to a holiday, wedding, birthday or any date that matters. • Battery overview — see at a glance which accessories are running low, sorted emptiest first. • Works on more iPads — HomeView now supports iPadOS 17. • Now available in French. Plus dozens of small refinements and bug fixes.

Version 2.1 Compact tiles Make lights, switches and fans smaller to fit more controls on your dashboard. Choose quarter or wide tiles and drag them together into handy groups — two lights side by side or stacked in a single widget. Reminders & shopping list Put a Reminders list right on your dashboard. Tick items off from the tile, pick a matching icon, and enjoy a little celebration when you clear the list. Full weather forecast Tap the weather widget for the complete picture: hourly and seven-day forecasts, plus feels-like temperature, wind, humidity, UV index, and sunrise and sunset. Lights off in one press Press and hold the Lighting chip to switch off every light that's on at once — from any tab. Smoother and more reliable Tile dragging has been rebuilt to feel faster and smoother, along with various refinements and stability fixes.

Version 2.0 NOW ON IPHONE HomeView now comes with a companion app for iPhone — so you can check and control your home when you're not near your iPad. It's not a shrunk-down dashboard: it's built for quick glances and quick taps. Start empty and add exactly the devices you want, browse by category or by room, group your lights, and search across everything. Your iPad dashboard stays exactly as it is — the two work side by side. Everything is per-home and opt-in, just like on iPad. Thanks, as always, for the suggestions that shaped this release.

Version 1.6 MULTIPLE HOMES If you have more than one home set up in Apple Home, a switcher now appears next to the + button. Each home keeps its own widgets, pins and layout. AMBIENT MODE A calm, dimmed view with a large clock, the weather and a compact status line — it appears automatically after a period of inactivity, and a single tap brings your dashboard back. Made for an iPad on the wall. CLIMATE HISTORY Climate widgets can now show a trend graph on the tile, and tapping one opens a full history: Day, Week or Month. SPACER WIDGET An invisible widget that takes up space without showing anything — for arranging your dashboard exactly the way you want. CUSTOM TIMER DURATION Set your own countdown, down to the second. REDESIGNED SETTINGS A cleaner, organised main menu, plus a complete guide covering everything the dashboard can do. SCROLLABLE OVERVIEW An optional setting removes the limit on pinned widgets. Plus dozens of smaller improvements: HomeKit statuses refresh reliably when you return to the app, dragging is more consistent, and the whole dashboard feels more responsive. Thanks to everyone who wrote in with suggestions — multiple homes was one of yours.

Update 1.5 adds: - Timer widget — set a countdown and get a clear signal when time's up - Flip clock style — a retro split-flap look for the clock widget - Security category — cameras, locks, and your alarm now live together under one filter - Weather refreshes automatically — always current, no need to reopen the app - Smoother throughout — adding, removing, and rearranging widgets now animates naturally, and status changes (lights, locks, alarms) transition more fluidly

This update brings a big set of new features and refinements: - Alarm widget – control your HomeKit security system straight from your dashboard: Home, Away, Night and Off. - Lock widget – lock and unlock your smart locks with a single tap. - Colour for lights – pick a custom colour or white tone for your colour bulbs. - New clock styles – switch between a digital and an analogue clock. - Rain forecast – see at a glance whether rain is on the way. - Enlarge camera – tap a camera for a larger view. - More colour & style – new background colours, an automatic day and evening colour, and accents that match your choice. - The app is now also available in German.

Give each scene its own icon. • Weather forecast — Tap the weather widget to see the full forecast. • Humidity — Temperature sensors now show humidity alongside the temperature, when they measure it. • Various small improvements and bug fixes.
