Apple's HomeView transforms web recipes into easy-to-follow cooking instructions with a hands-free timer. Upon opening a recipe in Safari, tapping the "Start Cooking" button shifts to a simplified recipe format. HomeView assists with ingredient tracking alongside the step-by-step guidance. The timer can be operated without hands, enabling users to manage cooking durations without touching the screen.
HomeView accommodates multiple timers, with Live Activities keeping them visible even when other applications are open. Handoff also works with recipes, allowing users to begin examining a recipe on their iPhone and carry on with HomeView when they arrive in the kitchen. The same function supports moving songs, podcasts, calls, and videos between devices.
The tabletop model showcases a 7-inch Liquid Retina display attached to a dome-shaped speaker base, which features a hinge enabling users to adjust the screen's angle on the countertop. Users can also enjoy music or podcasts while preparing meals or use Intercom to call family members for dinner through other HomeView and HomePod speakers.
HomeView is set to launch on November 13, available in both tabletop and wall-mounted versions priced at $299 in the United States.
