Itsyhome brings smart home controls to your Mac's menu bar, offering a streamlined alternative to Apple's Home app. The indie app supports both HomeKit and Home Assistant ecosystems, letting users control lights, thermostats, cameras, and other smart devices without leaving their desktop workspace.

Available for free on the Mac App Store, Itsyhome requires macOS 14.0 Sonoma or later. Users can organize devices by room, create custom groups for batch control, and pin frequently used devices to the top of the menu. The app also includes keyboard shortcuts and Stream Deck integration for quick access to smart home functions.

A standout feature is the companion Apple TV remote app, which includes a built-in app launcher for navigating the streaming interface without a physical remote. The $12.99 one-time purchase unlocks premium features like camera access, iCloud sync, and webhook integration. Itsyhome is also open source, with its code available on GitHub for those interested in the technical implementation.
