• New Wall Board Layouts — Choose Family Board, Week Ahead, Fridge, or Photo Frame in Settings → Wall Board. The board now works upright too. • Board Styles — Pick Paper, Glass, or Dark in Settings → Wall Board → Style. Glass shows your photos behind the cards, and its Auto tint picks light or dark cards for each photo. • To-Do on the Board — Show any Reminders list on the Fridge layout — choose it in Settings → Wall Board → To-Do List. • Your Own Night Schedule — Set when the board wakes up, dims, and goes to sleep in Settings → Wall Board, or turn on Dim at Sunset. • Layouts That Change Through the Day — Show a second layout during part of the day, like Photo Frame at midday, with Switch Layout During the Day in Settings → Wall Board. • Up Next — The board's banner shows your next event and how soon it starts. • Groceries on the Board — Your Reminders shopping list now appears on the board. Turn it off with Show Groceries in Settings → Wall Board. • Birthdays and Countdowns — Birthdays from your calendar show on the board with the age they're turning. Week Ahead also counts down to holidays and multi-day events. • Event Emoji — Board events get a matching emoji, like a soccer ball for soccer. Turn it off with Event Emoji in Settings → Wall Board. • Settings from the Board — Tap the board to bring up the tab bar and a Settings button. • A Fresh Look for Settings — Settings has a new look, with an icon on every row and a card for Homestead Pro. Everything is where it was.
