Features

Accessories

Add the accessories you use most to enable you to quickly toggle lights on & off, shutters opened & closed and more. As long as the accessory has a toggle-type mechanism, it is supported by HomeButtons. Accessories you add are split by room and sorted alphabetically so they are easy to find.

Scenes

Set the scene with your most frequently used scenes. No more trying to guess where in the grid you can find your scene, the scenes you add are all sorted alphabetically.

Widgets

Control your accessories & scenes from the Home Screen, Lock Screen or Control Centre with support for widgets. Widgets are interactive and support the same quick selection methods as the main app to control your home.

Apple Watch

The HomeButtons app for Apple Watch makes it super quick & easy to control your accessories and set the scene from your wrist. It’s quick to update and is fully configurable too.

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 HomeButtons as I felt the built-in Home app on Apple Watch wasnʼt quick enough to surface the scenes & accessories that I was looking to control. The addition of widgets on iPhone, iPad and Mac enabled those same quick controls to work on these devices too.
