JudeWorks — Hearthboard Home Display Roadmap

Shortcuts don’t run in Guided Access mode

Awesome that you added support for Shortcuts so quickly. Thank you! Unfortunately, when the iPad is in Guided Access mode, they don’t run because the Shortcuts app isn’t allowed to open. Is there another way to run them?

Developer response

Hello,

I appreciate your submission, would you mind reaching out over the support email with an example? I need a better idea of the shortcut running to determine if its possible. TY!

Open

Stock market widget

Coming in 1.7

A stock market chart widget Would be nice. :3

In Progress

Full-screen scrollable image/PDF viewer popup

Shipped in 1.6

I see there’s already an option to display an image/PDF document on a tile, but it would be amazing if you could tap on the tile to open the image/PDF in a full screen scrollable viewer that overlays the rest of the UI until dismissed.

Shipped

Add Freeform Widget

Shipped in 1.4

A widget that displays anything. At the minimum a widget that shows a pdf, picture, or webview with the ability to zoom in on only part of it. If it could be a window into an Apple Freeform document then that would solve almost everything.

Developer response

Hearthboard 1.4 adds a Document widget: pick a PDF or picture from Files or iCloud Drive, zoom in on just the part you want, and it updates when the file changes. Freeform has no way for other apps to show a live board, but exporting a board as a PDF to iCloud Drive and pointing the widget at it keeps it up to date on your board.

Shipped

Add Shopping List Widget

Shipped in 1.4

When cooking, it would be great to have access to a list of items I regularly shop for, such as eggs, flower, sugar, etc. Each time I notice I’m close to running out of one I could simply tick it from the list to add it to my shopping list. Or I could also manually type something to put on the shopping list. This shopping list should then be automatically shared with my iPhone, or automatically/manually shared with other people.

Developer response

Coming in 1.4 as a new Shopping List widget, built on Apple Reminders. Pick your list, such as Groceries, and everything you have bought before shows on the board. Tap an item and it is back on the list in Reminders on your iPhone, and for anyone you share the list with. Check it off at the store and it returns to the board, ready for next time. You can also type to add something new.

Shipped

Add Option to Show Reminders that are completed

Shipped in 1.4

On a per widget basis, add option to keep showing reminders that are completed. And allow toggling between completed and still to do, at will. (If this is implemented, together with the bug fix of the reminders list not being scrollable, then I no longer need the feature request for a groceries list and will be able to work with the build in groceries list of Apple Reminders.)

Developer response

Coming in 1.4: each Reminders widget has a Completed Reminders setting. Hide them right away, keep the ones you finished today ticked until the day ends, or add a To Do and Done switch to look back over the last 30 days and untick anything. For a list you reuse, like groceries, the new Shopping List widget is made for exactly that.

Shipped

Multiple Boards

Shipped in 1.4

Please add a drop down list listing all my boards, then followed by a separator, “add a board” and “delete this board.” I keep my iPad mobile and want to be able to create a board per room to control its smart items, plus add a board per key activity, such as morning routine, cooking, cinema, etc. Quickly switching between boards with the drop down list would be key. Having all the boards automatically shared between several iPads would be great too.

Shipped

Chores Widget

Shipped in 1.3

Shipped

Shortcut support

Shipped in 1.6

Please add support for running shortcuts from the Shortcuts app.

Shipped

Grouped lights don’t act correctly

Shipped in 1.6

If you group lights in the Home app, the group doesn’t show up in Hearthboard - only the first light in the group shows up, and only that one can be controlled.

Shipped

The calendar widget is slow to update and is missing entries

Shipped in 1.6

I added an event in the calendar app on my phone this afternoon, but it still wasn’t showing on the Hearthboard tile about 10 minutes later. I launched Calendar app on the iPad and could see the event was definitely there. Went back to Hearthboard and it still wasn’t showing. I force quit Hearthboard and relaunched it, at which point the event DID show up, but another event disappeared (despite showing previously and still being in my actual calendar)!

Shipped

Recent Apple Music Addition

Shipped in 1.5

Thanks for adding full access, however, it’s disappointing that only one speaker can be selected from the list of AirPlay speakers. May be a bug?

Developer response

Thank you, I have fixed this and will be in the next update!

Shipped

Full width and full height widgets

Shipped in 1.4

Feeling a need for this for photos too now. I could use that as a makeshift fix for my “anything widget” request. I just noticed the pinch and drag option for photos and could save any information as a picture and add it to the board that way. But the ability to resize the widget to any units in width and height would be greatly useful for that purpose. (Note my bug report re. pinch and drag.)

Developer response

Hearthboard 1.4 adds two full-height sizes, Column (1 wide) and Panel (2 wide), for Reminders, Shopping List, Calendar, Chores and Photos. Free-form sizes aren’t part of this release, but the new Document widget covers the anything-widget idea: show any PDF or picture and zoom in on part of it.

Shipped

Photo: can’t pinch and drag fully

Shipped in 1.4

Pinching seems to work fine but I can’t drag the photo all the way to its edge inside the widget frame.

Shipped

More Units for Wind Speed

Shipped in 1.4

Please add more units for wind speed such as meters per second and knots.

Shipped

Limit Calendar to Today

Shipped in 1.4

Please add the option to limit calendar widgets to only show the planned items for Today, leaving out those for tomorrow and the following days. This would allow me to better focus on my day. (I haven’t had the opportunity yet to tinker enough with your app but I would like to see all items of Today, even those that already passed. I don’t know if currently your calendar hides any item that has already passed or not.) Thanks!

Shipped

Keep Reminders Invisible

Shipped in 1.4

Please add the option on a per widget base to keep reminders out of the list until n days before their due date. Thanks.

Shipped

Homekit LG TV not showing

Shipped in 1.4

My LG TV is showing in my Home app but doesn’t in Hearthboard. It’s therefore not possible to add it as a widget.

Shipped

Apple Music

Shipped in 1.4

Full access to  music, the current widget for a set playlist or album isn’t enough.

Shipped

Add full screen height widgets

Shipped in 1.4

Especially useful for long reminder lists

Developer response

Coming in 1.4: two new taller sizes, Column (one tile wide) and Panel (two tiles wide), that run the full height of the board in landscape. Reminders, the new Shopping List, Calendar, Chores and Photos can all use them, so long reminder lists finally have room. Reminders and Shopping List also gain the larger Jumbo and Showcase sizes.

Shipped

Reminders don’t scroll

Shipped in 1.4

The list of reminders is cut off to fit the widget if it is physically not large enough to contain them all. The list should be complete and scrollable.

Shipped

Frigate NVR Widget

Shipped in 1.3

Shipped

Calendar editing

Shipped in 1.2

Please add the option to add or remove selected calendars without having to remove and add the widget from scratch

Closed

Edit options

Shipped in 1.2

Please as the option to drag and resize widgets

Closed

Smart Lists not available through Reminder Widget

Shipped in 1.4

Can’t select a smart list to put in a reminder widget, only the standard and groceries lists.

Developer response

Apple doesn’t share Smart Lists (Today, Scheduled, Flagged and your own Smart Lists) with other apps, so Hearthboard can’t show them. In 1.4 the list picker explains this, and a Reminders widget can show Today and overdue reminders, or reminders a set number of days before they’re due.
