Layer 06: Context
What is happening right now?
Who is where, what is next today and what is still open. With location off unless someone turns it on.
The Right now card
The first thing you see on Home.
The Right now card answers the questions a household asks all day: where is everyone, what is next today, and what is still open?
- Who is where, for people who chose to share
- What is next on today’s calendar
- What is still open
Location
Location sharing with real guardrails.
Location is off by default. Each person opts in for themselves, and can switch it off again whenever they like.
- It updates only while that person has the app open, or when they tap Share now
- Only the latest point is kept
- It expires after 4 hours, and the owner can choose 1 to 24
- There is no location history
Places
“At Home.” “Near school.”
Save the places that matter, like home, work and school, each with a radius. Instead of a dot on a map, people read as “At Home”, “Near school” or “About 8 min from home”. That last one is a straight-line estimate, and the app labels it as an estimate.
Weather
The weather where you live.
Local weather for your household’s area, so “do we need jackets?” gets answered before the school run.
What Context does not do
There is no background tracking and no history of where anyone has been. A shared location updates only while the app is open, or when someone taps Share now.
Which plans include it
Location and places are on Household and Household+. The Right now card is on every plan. Compare plans.
