The missing schedule view for Apple Home. Apple Home has automations. It doesn’t have a schedule. As your home gets more automated, an alphabetical list gets harder to make sense of. Automation Schedule puts everything in time order, so you can see what’s scheduled, make changes, and add new automations. YOUR RECURRING AUTOMATIONS, IN TIME ORDER Pick a day and see every recurring automation scheduled, from morning to night. • Edit an automation, turn it off, or add a new one without leaving the list. • Disabled automations stay where they belong, dimmed but still visible. • Sun-based automations appear at the actual time they’ll run. JUMP TO ANY DAY Tap a date to see everything scheduled for that day, or add a one-off right from the calendar. One-offs stand out, so they’re easy to spot among your recurring automations. MORE ROOM, MORE SCHEDULE On iPad, the timetable opens up to the full week—every day as a column, every automation placed at the hour it fires. STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Automation Schedule talks to HomeKit directly on your iPhone or iPad. There is no account, no server, and no analytics. Your home data never leaves your device. MORE OF WHAT YOU NEED • Switch between multiple homes • See sunrise- and sunset-based automations at the actual time they’ll run • Create and edit recurring and one-off automations • Changes appear in Apple Home too • Universal across iPhone and iPad One-time purchase. No subscription.
