A tour of the mobile app

The mobile app puts the home you already know from the web app in your pocket. Four tabs anchor everything — Today, Charyl, My Home, and Settings — and they stay in sync with the web app in real time, so switching between your phone and a browser mid-conversation picks up right where you left off.

Today

The first tab is where the app opens, on a short list of what needs you: maintenance that’s due, warranties, home records, proposals waiting for your review, and alerts. What needs you now comes first and what’s coming up sits below it. When nothing needs you, the screen says so and shows a few steady facts about your home instead. A one-line Ask Charyl box sits at the top; type a question there and it goes to the Charyl tab as a new chat, already sent.

Alongside it sit up to three more views: Spaces, a tappable version of your floor plan; Devices, a full list of your devices with their live state and controls; and Cameras. Spaces and Cameras appear once your home has rooms or cameras to show, and Devices when your home uses the smart-home side. The device list is live — a light switched from the web app or by a physical switch on the wall updates on your phone within a second or so, so what you’re looking at is never stale.

Dashboards stay on the web app for now; the phone doesn’t show them yet.

Charyl

The second tab is a dedicated space for talking to Charyl. A question typed into the Today tab’s Ask Charyl box lands here as a new chat. It’s also where the proposals she’s drafted wait for your review: tap one to see exactly what she’s suggesting before you approve or reject it.

My Home

This is where the day-to-day of owning the home lives, in five sections: inventory (everything you own), maintenance (what’s due, what’s been done), warranties (coverage and expiration by asset), records (insurance, HOA, deed, and the rest of your governing documents), and services (the providers on file for your home, and how to find more).

Everything the My Home tab shows you, you can also just ask Charyl about directly — the tab is for browsing; the conversation is for asking.

Settings

General account and home settings, a diagnostics screen for troubleshooting, and an about screen with the app’s version — the least exciting tab, and the one you’ll visit the least.

Beyond the four tabs

A handful of full-screen flows sit outside the tab bar, reached from within the sections above rather than from the bottom navigation directly.

1. Capture from a photo

   Photographing a nameplate or a receipt — from the My Home tab, or handed to Charyl directly in chat — opens its own capture screen, separate from the tabs, so nothing else competes for the frame.

2. Proposal review

   Tapping a proposal, whether from a notification or the Charyl tab’s own list, opens a dedicated review screen: the full draft, laid out clearly, with approve and reject actions.

3. Cameras

   Opening a camera — for a snapshot or live view — is its own full-screen surface, reached from the Today tab’s Cameras view, from its device list, or directly through conversation.

4. Notifications

   A chronological inbox of everything sent to you — grouped Today, Yesterday, This week, Earlier — reachable on its own rather than living under one of the four tabs. Anything unread can be swiped away or marked read right from the list, and tapping an entry deep-links straight to whatever it’s about, whether that’s a proposal, a device, or a room.

None of this is a different app underneath — it’s the same home, the same conversation, and the same proposals, laid out for a phone instead of a desk.

Getting here

If you haven’t installed the app yet, start with installing the app; once it’s on your phone, pairing it to your home is the last step before all of this is yours to use.

Once it’s paired, the best first thing to do is walk Charyl through your house: Introduce Charyl to your home is a two-minute film of how it goes.
