## What is Kuma Companion Dashboard?

Kuma Companion Dashboard puts your event control panel on an iPad or iPhone.

It connects to KUMA Dashboard running on a host (a Mac or Windows computer) on the same network and shows the panel you built there: big countdown timers, status boxes that change colour with your rules, progress bars, labels, images and video. Tap a button to press the matching button in Bitfocus Companion.

• Live values from Companion, refreshed several times a second
• The same look as on the host: fitted text, colours, rules, label bars, progress bars, backgrounds
• One-tap control of Companion buttons and page switching
• Finds the host on your network automatically (Bonjour), or enter its address
• Protected by the access password you set in Dashboard; it is kept in the device Keychain
• Keeps the screen on, full-screen kiosk view, any orientation
• Built-in demo panel, so you can try the app without a host

Requirements: KUMA Dashboard on a Mac or Windows host, and Bitfocus Companion, on the same Wi-Fi network. The network must let devices talk to each other (no client isolation). This app only shows the panel and presses its buttons; panels are edited in KUMA Dashboard on the host.

New in 1.1
• Watch a Dashboard from anywhere through the KUMA Relay (end-to-end encrypted): enter the pairing code and password the Dashboard shows. When the host switches on "Allow control" you can press its buttons too.
• Apple Watch app: big buttons and readouts for the boxes you mark "Add to watch" in Dashboard, with alerts when a colour rule matches (for example one minute left).
• Fills iPhone, iPad and foldable screens.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-28

What's new in 1.1.1
- The Apple Watch app now connects to your Dashboard or the KUMA Relay by itself, so the iPhone does not have to be in the middle.
- Scan a QR code from Dashboard instead of typing the address, pairing code and password. A code of the wrong kind is refused with an explanation.
- Alerts on the watch: boxes set to "Alert on watch" buzz when a colour rule starts to match, including a minute-to-go warning for timers. Notifications now show the value.
- The watch timer ticks evenly, digits keep their width, and the Always-On display stays readable.
- Tip: to keep Kuma Dashboard on the wrist screen, set Settings > General > Return to Clock > Kuma Dashboard > Return to App on the watch.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-28
