The verdict

Itsyhome puts your Apple Home devices in the Mac menu bar, so you can switch lights, set the thermostat or lock a door without opening the Home app. Devices are grouped by room, with pinned favorites and keyboard shortcuts, and it also connects to Home Assistant. A one-time Pro purchase adds cameras and iCloud sync, and there is an iPhone and iPad version too.
