Home Lights gives you fast, one-tap control of every light in your home through a clean, compact interface. Each room is organized into a collapsible section with a grid of buttons that show every light's power state, brightness, and color at a glance. Tap a button icon to toggle a light, or tap the body of the button to open a detail panel with sliders for brightness, hue, color temperature, and saturation. Pick from 16 icons to make each button instantly recognizable, and long-press a room's badge to toggle every light in that room at once. Personalize every home. Set a unique background photo for each of your homes, with adjustable blur and separate dim levels for light and dark mode — so each home feels distinct the moment you open it. Arrange your space. Enter edit mode to drag and drop rooms into the order that matches how you actually move through your home, and rearrange lights within each room the same way. Your layout, your way. Run HomeKit scenes. Trigger any of your existing scenes — Movie Night, Good Morning, Dinner — straight from the top of the home view, with no extra setup. Talk to your lights. Use the built-in assistant, powered by on-device Apple Intelligence, to control your home in plain language: "dim the living room", "turn everything off", "make the kitchen warm white", or "run movie night". Nothing leaves your device. Grouped lights, no compromises. For grouped accessories, adjust all services together or fine-tune each one individually — without ungrouping anything in HomeKit. Switch between multiple homes from a single tap, and pull to refresh light states anytime. Your room order, light order, icon choices, and per-home backgrounds sync seamlessly across your devices via iCloud. Supports light and dark mode. Available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro.

NavFocus is the first navigation app built specifically for people with ADHD. If you have ever missed a turn because you zoned out, forgotten which stop is yours on the bus, or felt overwhelmed by complex directions, NavFocus was made for you.

But for millions of adults with ADHD, that single reminder is not enough. NavFocus fills this gap with repeated, customizable reminders that keep you on track from start to finish. DESIGNED FOR ADHD Every feature in NavFocus is designed to reduce cognitive load and support executive function challenges common in ADHD: - Minimal, distraction-free interface - Clear, large turn instruction panels - No unnecessary visual clutter - Settings that are simple and intuitive - Haptic patterns that are distinct and easy to learn WHO NAVFOCUS IS FOR - Adults with ADHD who struggle with turn-by-turn navigation - Anyone who zones out while driving and misses turns - Transit riders who lose track of their stop - People who find standard navigation apps insufficient - Neurodivergent individuals who need extra reminders NAVFOCUS VS STANDARD NAVIGATION Standard apps: One reminder per turn. Miss it and you are off route. NavFocus: Repeated reminders at your chosen frequency until you complete the turn. Plus haptic patterns, voice guidance, and transit alerts all working together. PRIVACY FIRST NavFocus does not collect or store your location data on any server. Location is processed on your device in real time. No third-party analytics, no advertising trackers, no data selling. Your navigation stays private.
