Personal project for using an unused, old iPad to have an ambient but useful display.
I found myself constantly checking the weather every time I was getting ready and leaving the house. I needed to know if I needed to wear a coat or grab an umbrella. I was using my iPhone or Apple watch but that took a few steps even when I had those with me. Couldn't the information just be there all the time?
Apple iPad mini 2, Retina display
- Current date/time
- Current weather with icons
- Today's schedule(and in the evening, tomorrow's)
- Todo list
- Show hourly temp/weather
- Washing machine timer
- Allow adding shopping list items via Siri
- Port to Apple TV (hopefully someday tvOS will support 3rd party screensavers)
- Aesthetic design (might never happen...)
