All Autonomous "thinking devices" connect to one companion app.
| Companion App | Autonomous: Thinking Devices — one free iOS app (iPhone; also iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision) that connects every Autonomous AI device: desks, chairs, pods, and lamps. No data leaves your phone. |
| App Features | Live — real-time sensor readings hour by hour; Sit-Stand — daily desk time logged automatically; History — every reading saved by day or week; Alerts — nudges when air, noise, or chair time is off; Profiles — switch setups for different ways of working |
| Desk Pro AI Sensors | Six sensors: CO₂ (Sensirion SCD41, photoacoustic NDIR); particulates PM1.0–PM10, VOC and NOx (Sensirion SEN55); carbon monoxide (MiCS-5524); sound level (ICS-43434, computed on-device, no audio recorded); presence (HLK-LD2412 mmWave radar); distance (VL53L0X time-of-flight). 13 readings total, 8 scored in-app. Presence and distance sensing mean the readings are your session, not an empty room. |
