## What is Tacktab?

Tacktab turns an iPad or iPhone into a wall panel. Pick one web page, such as a Home Assistant dashboard, a meeting room calendar, a check-in form or a sign, and Tacktab shows it full screen, all day.

FREE
• Full screen, with the status bar hidden
• Keeps the screen on
• The page's dark mode follows the device
• Stays signed in to your page
• Retries by itself when the page can't be reached
• Settings stay out of the way: press and hold the top-left corner for 3 seconds
• Optional native Home Assistant voice control with Talk, local Okay Nabu and Hey Jarvis wake words, and validated custom microWakeWord v2 imports
• Two assistant routes and native Home Assistant timers: pause, resume, adjust time or dismiss an alert above your dashboard
• Separate opt-ins for background hands-free listening, follow-up and local Stop; interruption requires working device echo cancellation
• Optional OpenAI, xAI or Gemini realtime conversations through your Home Assistant; provider API keys stay there
• Independent spoken announcements without microphone access. The free satellite bridge supports Home Assistant announcements and conversations; HTTP remote delivery uses Pro.

The new satellite features require the updated Tacktab integration and Home Assistant Core 2026.10 or later. Basic Assist remains available without a realtime provider key. Provider processing, retention and charges follow the account you choose.

TACKTAB PRO (one-time purchase)
• Lock the device to Tacktab. Tacktab guides you through Apple's Guided Access, and on supervised devices it can start Single App Mode itself.
• Remote control API on your local network: reload, change the page, sleep, wake, set brightness and speak announcements from Home Assistant or any script.
• A PIN on settings.
• One purchase covers every device on your Apple Account.
• Try Pro free for 24 hours.

Privacy: Tacktab has no account, no ads and no tracking. Optional voice sends microphone audio only to the Home Assistant server you choose; that server's selected providers determine whether audio or text is processed locally, forwarded or retained. Tacktab sends no speech to Applifyer. Anonymous crash reports and product-usage counts are optional and can be turned off in settings.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2026-10-24

Choose an optional offline clock for standby. Camera wake now uses person and movement detection with automatic recovery after interruptions. Touch and Home Assistant wake remain available. Clock and camera settings stay separate, and camera images are never recorded or uploaded. This update also preserves explicit sleep when detection restarts and improves display brightness restoration.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-22

Optional Home Assistant voice control and spoken announcements are here. Connect your server, check your Assist pipeline, then choose tap to talk or server-based wake words while Tacktab is visible. Voice and announcements have separate switches and start off. Microphone mute is persistent, and announcements work without microphone access. Includes native voice status, conversation follow-ups, and secure Keychain storage for your Home Assistant token.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-08

No release notes.
