HomeBatteries Press Kit

HomeBatteries makes it super quick & easy to see all of your HomeKit accessory batteries in one location. If you have ever found yourself in the situation where a battery powered HomeKit accessory has stopped working, then HomeBatteries can prevent it from happening again. HomeBatteries enables you to view all of your Apple Home device battery levels in one place and get notified before they run out of power.

Story

Hi, Iʼm Adam! 👋 Iʼm an indie developer living in the UK building apps for iOS and other Apple platforms. Iʼve been building apps since 2015 and went full-time indie in 2022 after working at a startup for four years as an iOS developer. I created HomeBatteries as I needed a quick way to check all of my smart blindsʼ batteries from one place since the manufacturerʼs app and the Apple Home app requires going into each device individually. Since release, the app has evolved to include low battery notifications, widgets, trends and much more!
