Turn a spare iPad into the shared screen for your home: calendars, chores, photos, weather, music, and smart home controls in one calm place.
Hearthboard turns an iPad into the shared reference point for your home.
Mount it on the wall, set it on the kitchen counter, keep it by the entryway, or place it anywhere your family naturally looks during the day. Hearthboard gives everyone in the house one calm screen for the things that matter: what is happening, what needs doing, what is playing, what the weather looks like, and what is going on around the home.
It is not a rigid dashboard with one fixed idea of what your family needs. It is a flexible board you build yourself.
Make it a family command center.
Make it a photo frame.
Make it a kitchen calendar.
Make it a smart home controller.
Make it a morning launchpad, an evening wind-down screen, or a quiet reference board for the room.

Hearthboard uses Apple frameworks such as Photos, Calendar, Reminders, HomeKit, MusicKit, StoreKit, and WeatherKit. Your personal home, calendar, reminder, photo, and music data stays on your device and is used only for the widgets you choose.
Some features require compatible Apple services, permissions, hardware, or subscriptions. HomeKit features require a configured Apple Home. Apple Music playback requires Apple Music access and available media. Weather requires network access.
