iOS App

iOS App

Use the iOS App for fast floor workflows, realtime updates, voice AI, attendance, tracking, and incident capture.

What it is for

The iOS App is for educators and centre staff who need to work quickly on the floor. It connects to the hosted Acorn API, so updates made in the Web App and iOS App can appear without a manual refresh where realtime is enabled.

Main screens

DashboardA compact operational entry point for what matters now.
ChildrenChildren, guardians, room context, profile details, and daily status.
TrackingToileting, sleep, medication, sunscreen, and meals.
StaffStaff directory, staff board, check-in, and staff detail views.
IncidentsCreate and review incidents from the app.
AI AssistantText and voice interaction for centre context and supported actions.

Realtime updates

Realtime updates are used for broad app freshness, such as child status, attendance, and operational changes. If a child has sunscreen applied or a check-in changes elsewhere, the app should update the visible screen as the data arrives.

Voice AI

Voice mode runs from the app and calls the hosted API when the assistant needs centre data or a supported tool action. The goal is a native, responsive conversation instead of streaming every voice turn through the web portal.
