Loadshedding and air quality are now live the moment you open Ampere, with no key setup required. · Pull down to refresh any screen, and Ampere refreshes on its own when you reopen it. · Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets now show your current loadshedding stage, with a quiet alert when the stage climbs. · Settings puts the live data switch front and centre, and you can still bring your own EskomSePush or air quality key. · On-device acoustic listening surfaces real appliance detections with live confidence.

The listening feature now detects appliances on your device, with live feedback and confidence levels. After setup, a new home guide walks you through Power, Pantry, Habits, and Listening so your risk score reflects your real home.

We removed the sample suburb so setup uses your real location or a suburb you choose, made onboarding easier to scroll, and fixed the risk gauge and share card layouts.

Ampere 1.2 — now on iPad and Mac, and it can hear your home. Universal. Ampere now runs natively on iPad and Mac, not just iPhone — the same calibrated instrument, laid out for the bigger screen. Your locations and history sync across your devices. Acoustic appliance detection (learning beta). Ampere can now listen, on-device, for the acoustic signatures of your home's appliances — the kettle, the pump, the geyser — to sharpen your grid and readiness picture. Everything is processed locally and discarded immediately. Audio is never recorded, never stored, never uploaded. Off by default; you turn it on from the Listening tab. Morning Brief. A daily on-device readout that tells you what changed overnight and what to watch today — air, grid, water and geo — in plain language, computed privately on your device. Interactive Log-Outage widget. Hit by loadshedding or an unplanned trip? Log the outage straight from the Home Screen widget, without opening the app. It feeds your grid history and your suburb's picture. Suburb collective. See how your suburb is doing against the people actually living there — an anonymous, opt-in community compare layered on top of the source-traced catalog. No accounts, no identities. Time-Sensitive prepaid alerts. Prepaid running low? Ampere now sends a Time-Sensitive notification that breaks through Focus, so a flat meter never catches you in the dark. As always: every number carries its source, confidence and date. Live data (EskomSePush / WAQI) stays optional and off by default, with the on-device South African catalog as the honest offline fallback. No tracking.
