Support
The time at home, the days until you fly back, and who is waiting at the door — on your home screen, in a little house that keeps home’s hours.
How do I contact support?
Email zeyrekseyfican@gmail.com. Include your device model, operating system version, app version, a short description of the issue, and screenshots if useful.
Do I need an account?
No. Homebird asks for no email or password. It creates an anonymous ID for its security, version and purchase checks; your household, dates, lists and photos stay on your phone.
How do I add the widget?
Touch and hold an empty area of your home screen, tap Edit or Add widget, search for Homebird and pick a size. On iPhone you can also add Homebird widgets to the Lock Screen.
Why does the widget not show how far I am from home?
Distance needs location access. Allow location in the app, or tap the widget’s refresh button. Homebird works out the distance on your phone and never sends your position to us.
Is Homebird Plus a subscription?
No. Homebird Plus is one lifetime purchase through the App Store or Google Play. On a new phone, tap Restore purchases on the Plus screen or in Settings. Refunds are handled by the store.
Where does the weather come from?
From MET Norway. Homebird sends the home city you chose, rounded, never your GPS position. You can turn weather at home off in Settings.
How do I delete my data?
Open Settings → Delete my data in the app. It deletes the anonymous ID and erases what Homebird stores on your phone. Your Plus purchase stays with Apple or Google and can be restored.

Homebird is a home-screen widget and a small storybook house for anyone living far from home. It shows the time and weather at home, a good time to call and the days until you go back, with the pet and people who wait for you there. Homebird is for iPhone and Android.

What you can do with Homebird
- Home-screen widgets: the time and weather at home, a good time to call, your day away and the days until home. On iPhone there are also Lock Screen widgets and a “Going home today” Live Activity on travel day.
- Your house: 12 classic house styles and, with Homebird Plus, 35 hometown houses. Seasons and the holidays you pick dress it up.
- Who waits at home: a dog, cat, rabbit, bird or hamster (49 breeds) and up to two people. Step inside to pet, feed and treat them.
- Reminders: to call, write or send a photo home, daily or weekly, at a good hour in both places. Homebird only reminds you; it never calls or sends anything.
- The suitcase home: two lists, what you take home and what you bring back.
- Far from home: the “What kind of homebird are you?” quiz, homesick bingo, a report card and share cards, all free.
Homebird Plus
Homebird is free to start: the home clock, the countdown, holidays and decor, the suitcase, reminders and two visits inside the house a day. Homebird Plus is one lifetime purchase, not a subscription: hometown houses from 35 countries, clocks for loved ones in up to four cities (the first is free), a second friend at the door, unlimited visits inside, and every house style, breed, extra and widget look. Everyone also gets two housewarming keys; each unlocks one Plus look for good. The price is shown in the app before you buy. To get a purchase back on a new phone, tap Restore purchases on the Plus screen or in Settings. Refunds are handled by the App Store or Google Play.
