## What is Hearthkin?

Hearthkin keeps your household connected without the noise — see who's home at a glance, leave one note the whole house shares, never miss a birthday. No live map. No location history. No social feed. Just the people under your roof.

WHO'S HOME
See at a glance who's currently home and who's out. Presence updates automatically in the background, so your family always knows — no check-ins required.

GOING HOME
Tell everyone you're on your way with one tap — from the app, your Home Screen, or Siri. They see you're coming, and roughly when.

PLACES THAT MATTER
Add the places your family goes — school, work, the gym, grandma's. See who's where as a simple status, not a moving pin.

ONE SHARED NOTE
Leave a note for everyone — a reminder, a thought, a heads-up. New notes gently glow until they're seen.

IMPORTANT DATES
Keep birthdays, anniversaries, and the dates that matter in one shared place. The next one up sits right on the Home tab, with a reminder before it arrives.

HOME AT A GLANCE
Check your HomeKit accessories right from the Home tab — lights, temperature, and humidity — and lock every door with one tap, or slide to unlock the front one.

WIDGETS AND CONTROLS
Put what matters on your Home Screen: who's home, the next date, the shared note, and a Going Home button. From Control Center, lock every door.

MADE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Invite everyone with a link or a code. Kids can join too, with limited access.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Hearthkin is built for one family, not a social network. Your data stays between the people you invite.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-08-27

See where everyone is, not just whether they're home:

• A family map — home and every place you've saved on one screen, with each face on the place they're at.
• Pause sharing — hide your presence from the family whenever you want, on every device at once.
• Lights — tap any light's icon to turn it on or off.

Plus clearer invites when a code doesn't work, and a tidier Who's home.

### 1.4 — 2026-08-12

Tell the family you're on the way — without even opening the app:

• Going Home — one tap says you've left, with an ETA. From the app, a widget, or Siri.
• On your Home Screen — widgets for the next date, the shared note, and Going Home.
• From Control Center — lock every door, or jump to the shopping list.

Plus a front-door slider on the Home tab, the whole app in Ukrainian, and a cleaner look.

### 1.3 — 2026-08-05

A smoother start, and a shopping list rebuilt from the ground up:

• New setup — start on your own in seconds, invite your family whenever you're ready.
• Faster shopping list — quicker editing, tighter animations, and sections that stay how you left them.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-25

See who's where — not just home or away:

• Important Places — add the spots that matter, like work, school, or a grandparent's house.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-08

Your home gets a bigger place on the Home tab:

• Temperature & humidity — see your home's climate from your HomeKit sensors.
• Home details — a new screen with every light and lock, and a Lock button for each door.
• Next date up — the nearest birthday or event now sits right on the Home tab.
• Kids can join — invite children with limited privileges.
• Presence dots — see home/away status on every avatar, in the app and on the widget.

Plus a warmer look, smoother shopping-list editing, and more reliable widget updates.
