## What is Tethered Home?

Life gets busy. Tethered Home brings household organisation, family plans, pet care and personal wellbeing into one calm, shared place.

KEEP HOME LIFE TOGETHER
Coordinate shopping lists, meals, household jobs, appointments, deliveries, car reminders, school information, care, family activities and household notes. See what matters today, assign responsibilities and keep everyone contributing without turning family life into a demanding task list.

SHOPPING, DELIVERIES AND MEALS
Build a shared shopping list, check items off and see recently bought essentials. Track upcoming deliveries and open their details from phone or the watch companion. Meal suggestions prioritise ingredients you already have, while recipes, saved meals, quick choices and household voting help answer what’s for dinner without unnecessary shopping.

ANIMAL CARE AND DOG WALKS
Keep feeding, fresh water, habitat checks and walks consistent for every pet. Local weather checks help you decide when conditions are suitable. Record a dog walk, save its GPS route, give it a name and add a local photo. Revisit saved walks or start a favourite route again.

FITNESS AND WELLBEING
Plan supported fitness activities such as walks and strength exercises. Start, pause, resume, cancel or complete an active workout from watch. Completed activities contribute to personal progress, points, streaks and awards, with workout history available on phone.

PRIVATE, OPTIONAL LOCATION SHARING
Live dog-walk location sharing is always opt-in and off by default. Each walk asks before sharing, only accepted household members can view it, and sharing can be stopped without ending the workout. Location sharing ends automatically when the walk ends. Saved walk names and photos remain local unless you explicitly share them.

FAMILY TIME AND EVERYDAY MOMENTS
Choose meaningful activities together, add a family plan without repetitive steps, rediscover music, track personal goals and celebrate small wins. Reminders and simple actions keep useful routines close without adding pressure.

MADE FOR YOUR DEVICES
Use Tethered Home across your devices. Widgets and watch views keep household information, shopping, deliveries and supported wellbeing actions close at hand.

PRIVACY AND CONTROL
Private household sharing lets invited members contribute across their devices. Household owners can manage invitations and revoke access; members can leave at any time. Calendar, Reminders, Health, Music, notifications, location and weather features are optional, and core household tools remain useful when optional permissions are declined. Profile pictures use the system photo picker.

Subscription: seven days free, then £14.99 per year in the United Kingdom. The equivalent regional price is shown before purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your device’s subscription settings.
