Apple Home puts every automation into one alphabetical list, with every day and time mixed together. There’s no easy way to see what runs when—or to work with your automations as a schedule.
A few automations are easy enough to keep track of. But as your home gets more automated, an alphabetical list gets harder to make sense of. Automation Schedule puts everything in time order, so you can see what’s scheduled, make changes, and add new automations.
Pick a day and see every recurring automation scheduled, from morning to night.
Tap a date to see everything scheduled for that day, or add a one-off right from the calendar. One-offs stand out, so they’re easy to spot among your recurring automations.
On iPad the timetable opens up to the full week — every day as a column, every automation placed at the hour it fires.
Automation Schedule talks to HomeKit directly on your iPhone or iPad. There is no account, no server, and no analytics. Your home data never leaves your device.
No — it's a one-time $4.99 purchase, universal across iPhone and iPad.
No. It reads and writes the same HomeKit automations, so anything you set up here shows up in the Home app too.
Switch between any home in your HomeKit account from the picker in the top corner.
For scheduled automations to run when you are away, yes — HomePod or Apple TV, same as HomeKit requires.
Yes — add multiple clock, sunrise, or sunset times to a single automation. Each run shows up separately on the timeline, labeled with its place in that day's sequence.
In-app scene creation currently supports lights, outlets, switches, locks, garage doors, climate and thermostats, shades (including window coverings and windows), and fans (including ventilation fans). More types are coming soon. For accessory types not yet supported here, build or edit the scene in the Home app — it'll show up and run correctly in Automation Schedule.
If an automation includes direct accessory actions rather than scenes, you can still change its schedule in the app — you just can't change which actions fire. The HomeKit API limits editing actions to scene-based automations, so use the Home app for that, or recreate those actions as scenes in the Home app to unlock full editing here.
People conditions and advanced HomeKit conditions from other apps show up here, clearly labeled and read-only — edit them in the Home app or wherever they were created. The automation's name, schedule, and actions stay fully editable.
