Managed Device Control
Read full descriptionHide full description
Managed Device Control helps organizations manage a single enrolled iPhone or iPad using Mobile Device Management configuration and Apple Screen Time controls. The app receives Managed App Configuration from an organizationβs MDM provider and displays the active organization, device label, support contact, and managed status. After Screen Time permission is granted, selected apps, app categories, or websites can be restricted locally on the device and cleared when needed. Managed Device Control is designed for organization-managed device workflows where MDM configuration and reversible Screen Time controls are required.
RoomSync for Home Assistant
Read full descriptionHide full description
Added your Home Assistant devices to Apple Home and they all landed in the same room? HomeKit doesn't know which room a bridged accessory belongs to, and the Home app makes you move them one by one. RoomSync reads your Home Assistant areas and puts every Apple Home accessory in the room with the same name. One direction, no surprises: Home Assistant is the source of truth and the app never changes anything in HA. β’ Preview before applying: which rooms get created, renamed, and which accessories move. β’ Automatic backup before every change, with one-tap restore. β’ Recognizes HomeKit Bridge accessories by identity, not by name. Everything else is paired once, by hand. β’ Home screen with the state of every room: in sync, to move, to create. β’ Bulk move: select several accessories, from HA or not, and send them to any room. β’ Home Assistant and Apple Home inventories as tiles, with icons per accessory type. β’ Sign in to your own Home Assistant from the app; the token is stored encrypted on the iPhone and never leaves it. β’ No accounts, no cloud, no data collected. Free: preview, room mapping, backups, diagnostics and syncing up to 5 complete rooms. A single one-time purchase unlocks all rooms and full room cleanup. No subscriptions. Requires Home Assistant with the HomeKit Bridge integration (or accessories already paired in Apple Home) and an iPhone on the same network.
