Hello Smart-Home Community
I've been working on a project for a little while and want to get further feedback from the community. This is available on the AppStore (I'm working on Android next). But I have a code you can use to get 1 month free. DO NOT FEEL OBLIGATED to continue your subscription unless you truly feel it is helpful.
The code is FORUMFEEDBACK
The app can be found at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/smart-home-geo-fencing/id6756122799
🔐 Key Features
Privacy-first architecture
All sensitive data (addresses, webhook URLs, etc.) is encrypted at rest.
Location data is only decrypted in memory when absolutely necessary.
Users can toggle whether location coordinates are included in webhook payloads.
Reliable geofence triggers
Built with a focus on stability and predictable behavior.
Designed to avoid the common iOS geofencing pitfalls.
Webhook automation
Trigger Home Assistant, Hubitat, custom servers, or any automation endpoint.
Optional payload logging with user‑controlled redaction.
🧠 Why I Built It I rely heavily on automation, but I never felt comfortable handing my location to third‑party services. I also wanted something that felt intentional — polished UI, predictable behavior, and controls that respect the user’s boundaries.
So I built the tool I wanted: a geofencing app that’s fast, reliable, and doesn’t treat privacy as an afterthought.
💬 What I’m Looking For
Feedback on the UX and onboarding
Thoughts on the privacy model
Edge cases or reliability issues you think I should test
Ideas for integrations or advanced automation features
I’d love to hear what the community thinks — especially anyone who’s wrestled with iOS geofencing, privacy‑centric design, or automation workflows.
Happy to answer any technical questions about the architecture, SwiftUI patterns, encryption approach, or the geofence manager.
Thanks for reading!
