Apple’s new HomeView smart home hub lacks an App Store, but it can still run some third-party audio and video apps that support CarPlay.
HomeView can automatically mirror CarPlay-enabled audio and video apps from a nearby, paired iPhone, with no modifications to the app required.
In a GIF shared on Mastodon, Broadcasts app developer Steve Troughton-Smith demonstrated what Spotify looks like on a virtualized HomeView.
The full list of built-in Apple apps on the HomeView:
Alarms
Calendar
FaceTime
Find My
Home
Intercom
Messages
Music
Podcasts
Reminders
Safari
Settings
Timers
Weather
World Clock
