Roadmap
Where Denwise is headed — shaped by the families who use it.
Directions, not promises. Order and timing can change, so you won't find dates here — just honest priorities.
✅ Recently shipped live now
- Starter screensaver albums — a fresh hub comes with ready-made Nature, Architecture & Art albums so the screensaver isn’t blank out of the box; swap in your own anytime
- A dig-’em-up arcade game — “Miner,” a Minecraft-style dig for coal, iron, gold & diamonds (mind the lava), joins Snake/Shooter/Crossing; all playable by touch on the wall screen
- Out & About knows who's going — pick the family members at the table and suggestions use each person's saved dietary needs & food likes/dislikes; optionally add a free Google Places key for real venue details (ratings, hours, parking, a Maps link)
- Console display mode — an immersive, full-screen "wall display" look you can drive with a remote or arrow keys, each module in its own neon accent; it ships in dark and has a full light mode too, and every module was restyled for it (works in Classic, Console & Tile Launcher)
- Your own family groups — define your groups (name & emoji) instead of the fixed Adult/Bigs/Littles, and mark each as adults or kids (kids get points, tokens & the leaderboards)
- Calendar works out of the box — no account required — a built-in local calendar lets you add and see events with nothing to connect; link Google/Outlook/Apple only if you want to pull those in alongside
- Design your own dashboards — a drag-and-drop designer for the Home screen and as many wall-display screens as you like; place, resize, layer & style widgets (clock, weather, a rich 7-day view, month calendar, countdowns, checklists, photo albums, tonight's dinner & its full recipe, quotes, word of the day, embedded web pages & more), each screen with its own background & behavior
- Out & About — AI suggestions for restaurants or outings by area, party size & tastes, addable to the calendar (your AI key)
- Import events from a flyer — snap a school/sports flyer and the AI pulls out the events for you to review & add (your AI key)
- Budget on your wall — bills due this week + a spend-vs-budget bar per category, right on the Home screen
- Gift Cards — track cards + balances, per member or shared with the family, with a use/reload history
- Demo mode — a one-tap Settings toggle that fills the hub with sample family data to explore, then restores your real data when you turn it off
- Per-person "today" screens — every family member gets their own dashboard URL showing just their day (chores, events & routines), arrangeable in the layout designer
- Built-in help — the full user guide is now in the app (the ❓ in the top bar), opening to the section for the page you're on
- Smart Home — connect Home Assistant to view & control your lights, switches, sensors and scenes on the hub, with a dashboard widget for the wall
- Many calendars, any provider — connect several calendars at once across Google, Outlook & Apple; give each calendar its own color and choose which family members it shows on, and finish sign-in from your phone or laptop
- Touch-friendly display screens — mark a wall screen as a touchscreen to check off chores, toggle smart-home devices, and pop up recipes & calendar events
- Weather on your calendar events — the forecast (and "feels like") at each event's place & time
- Works with most cameras — ONVIF plus a plain RTSP/RTMP/HTTP link, not just one brand
- Buy Denwise online — the store is open; download & activate from Get Started
- Companions — a virtual pet each family member grows from their chore points (in the new Games module)
- Two-way calendar sync — Google, Outlook/Exchange & Apple iCloud
- Recurring events you create & edit as a series, with "who's got it?" ownership
- Per-person week at a glance — tap a family member to see just their week
- Kid routines — morning & bedtime checklists
- License activation & renewals right in Settings
- Simpler remote access — reach your hub across VLANs by IP, or anywhere via Tailscale
- Denwise branding across the app, and an in-app roadmap
🔜 Next being planned
- Smarter shopping lists — auto-built from your meal plan, flagging what's already in the pantry
- Richer calendar & agenda views on the dashboard
- One-tap calendar connect — link Google/Outlook without creating your own developer credentials
🧭 Later on the radar
- Reminders & phone notifications for the whole family
- A built-in weather radar widget — no setup
- A media-console dashboard — another wall-display shell look
- Mobile companion — an installable app for quick-add on the go
🔬 Exploring ideas
- Motion/doorbell camera pop-ups on the dashboard
- More camera and integration options
