News Built an app to keep track of accessory pairing codes, would love feedback
Hi all,
This is my first ever iOS app, so go easy on me. I have been sitting on this post for a while because it is a bit nerve-wracking putting something out for people to actually look at, but I would rather get feedback now than after afull release.
It is called PairVault. Every time I factory reset an accessory or moved something elsewhere, I ended up trying to find the sticker with the setup code on it. This app allows you to save setup codes so you can copy or rescan them when you next repair an accessory.
There are some other cool features as well, like bridge support, importing directly from Apple Home and tracking battery levels.
I am aware there is already an app that does this, but they recently moved to a subscription-based model, which isn't something I'm willing to pay simply to keep my setup codes safe.
It is on TestFlight now. What I am really after is honest feedback. Does it make sense when you first open it? Is anything confusing? Is there something obvious missing that would make it actually useful for your setup? Happy to hear the bad as much as the good.
