HomeComms

HomeComms turns your phone into a home intercom. Hold to talk, and your voice plays on the speakers you already own — all at once, or just the rooms you choose. Made for busy households. Call everyone to dinner, tell the kids it's time to leave, or send a quick "I'm home" without walking room to room or starting another group text. ONE TOOL, EVERY SPEAKER • Sonos, Amazon Echo, and Google Cast (Chromecast / Nest) — broadcast to all of them together. • Pick a single room, a saved group, or the whole house. • Save favorite targets for one-tap switching. FAST • Press, speak, release. Your voice is on the speakers in about a second. • A Home Screen widget sends a saved message with the app closed. VOICE OR TEXT • Hold to talk for live voice. • Or type a message — or tap a saved Quick Message — and it's spoken aloud. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your voice is sent to play on your speakers and then deleted within minutes. It is never stored long-term and never used for advertising. • Delete your account and all your data anytime, right from Settings. HomeComms is a one-way broadcast tool. It's calm, it's quick, and it stays out of your way.
